LADY LACE

(Top & Skirt, Amber Whitecliffe. Heels, Lulus (similar here & here). Sunglasses, Glassons. Rings, eBay & Karen Walker.)

What I wore for a fun afternoon of eating, more eating, lounging on beanbags in the sunshine and riding bicycles down by The Waterfront (don't worry, I changed into shorts for that last one). I fell in love with this lace top ever since I tried it on for this post I did a while back. The best thing about it is the lining that covers all the essentials while leaving the rest (including the back) transparent, so you don't have to wear another top under it to maintain your dignity. Seriously, more lace tops need to have this feature! I also adore the faded edge design of the fabric, which you unfortunately cant see since it's tucked in, but click through on the product link to see it on the AW website; the model is even wearing the same skirt! And speaking of which, this skirt seriously makes you feel like a million bucks. The fabric feels super luxurious and silky, and it's a nice pencil shape that also allows for eating space (always an important consideration for any outfit).

I've started the new summer job this week and so far so good..! There's so much new stuff to learn though; I feel ridiculously under qualified, but let's just hope the managers don't notice that any time soon. On the plus side, we do have a Nespresso machine in the office. This could be dangerous..
