However, I find that when I come across a great lacy piece at the local thrift shop I usually take it home only to have it sit in the closet. The problem is, lace is difficult to wear in everyday situations. The texture, delicacy, and ornamental qualities of lace can make it feel so special that you only want to wear it on the right occasions (like weddings) instead of for a trip to the market or tea with a friend. Here are some ways that I have found, with a little digging, to help me wear lace more often. I hope that you find some looks that you love!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Lacy_Top_With_Knit_Scarf_and_Jeans\"><\/span>1.

You&#8217;ll feel delicate and special, and others will notice that you&#8217;re carrying yourself with a touch more grace. Lace offers us a connection to the past, and a sense of timelessness that can turn the Monday Blues upside down. Try adding a lacy color to your usual work-wear. It&#8217;s a great way to change your mood and <a href=\"http:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/vintage-style\/60s-floral-shorts\/\">love yourself<\/a>. \u00a0You can make an elegant collar on your own by sewing lace in the shape of a collar to onto the neckline of a solid knit top. Or, buy a vintage blouse that already includes this feature. If you already own a button up lacy top but have not found the occasion to wear it, try it out underneath a solid, modern top of a similar color.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Sweet_Lace_Pendants\"><\/span>4.

Vintage lace is so detailed and eye grabbing that even just a little touch of it will do. These lacy pendent necklaces made by Laura over at Dishfunctional Designs are the perfect addition to a simple outfit. If you have scored some vintage lace and are dying to get it into your daily style, why not try to make one of these yourself? Find a squarish pendant and glue a piece of lace on top. Add some trimming to keep the edges from fraying.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_5_Off-White_Lacey_Skirt_With_Printed_Top\"><\/span>\u00a05.

The look turns out bold and creative. I love the way the color, prints, and lace are balanced out by solid black heels. This outfit goes to show that lace can be worn with other items that have features of their own. You might not guess that antique off white lace would go with hot pink, until you see it for yourself! So try on a few outfits that you consider too bold or wild, and see what it looks like all together. It can be helpful to snap a photo or get a friend to give you a second opinion.<\/p>\n<p>Lace is airy and delicate, but it can be balanced out if you wear it the right way. Mix lace with denim, plaid, knit scarfs, or prints. Add a touch of lace to an outfit by accessorizing with it. When it comes to lace, you might have to experiment a little bit! Try on a few outfits, and see what works.
