Lace is often thought of as an evening fabric, for cocktail dresses or lingerie. But lace can add a contemporary flare and a bit of texture to any attire. Gone are the dowdy floral laces of old, replaced with modern crochets and geometric patterns.
This Catherine Malandrino Odette blouse ($98) is perfectly pretty. The delicate ladder stitching and ruffled accents make this a unique top. This pieced-lace top ($45 also in petite) from Express is another awesome choice. For something really bold, check out this black circle-lace peplum top ($100). Plus-size? This Michael Kors lace-yoke top ($98) is a lovely.

so versatile and beautiful
This is gorgeous but I’m curious if there’s any way to wear a bra with this without defaulting to a strapless. How do others handle sheer shoulders like this?
You can buy clear plastic bra straps for convertible bras.
Someone said this to me recently, and I wonder if you’d agree– “If you have to wear anything other than your usual bra you shouldn’t wear it to work.”
