fashion flash F rom luxe layered skirts to soft, creamy tops, there’s a lacy look for every mood this spring! Rather than exuding a stuffy, old fashioned vibe, these lovely laces are delightfully dreamy and light confections in white, taupe and gold. For a less romantic, more modern look, try a lace sleeved simple wool sweater like the Valentino shown above- it even works with denim! Add a little drama at night with bolder lace patterns in black and even burgundy. Or try Alessandra Rich’s ruched silk lace cape with gold hardware for a most dramatic look (befitting a fashion super hero!) And don’t forget a playful touch of lace on bags and shoes- any which way you want to do it this season, you’d better lace up! JENNIFER ESSES Layer lace on lace- it’s modern chic and adds a casual, just pulled this look together feel- perfect for day! the amazing lace! 78 COMMUNITY MAGAZINE
