I have to admit to being intrigued by the lace that Miuccia
Prada presented for this Fall...my only concerns being modesty and the potential for hypothermia. So, in the name of research...okay, to be honest, in the name of "I love window shopping"...I went in search of some non-Prada options.
Probably the best deals that I found are the
white lace skirt and dress by Peter Jensen. They were Spring/Summer stock and are currently heavily reduced...the dress from $875 to $137.50 and the skirt from $692 to $340. I have to admit that the dress would be mine if it weren't for the fact that the only size left is a small...darn it!
If white lace is too sixties...or bridal...or sixties bridal...you may like the
Dolce & Gabbana black lace skirt from one of my favorite vintage stores, Vagabond NYC...or
Kova and T's lace leggings. And for anyone worried about the intrinsically see-through quality of lace being used in anything that they'd actually wear I'm including
Martin Margiela's PVC wallet in the line-up.
All of which, naturally, leads me to the question...will you be leaping into lace this Fall? And, if so, to what extent...via the medium of accessories or in clothing form?
