Finish Your UFO's Challenge 13: Lace

Happy Easter!  This basket was made with a Silhouette file designed by Samantha Walker.  I bought it some time ago and didn't get to cutting it until this weeks challenge and Easter inspired me to get it done.  I would post the link, but I can't figure out how to get to the file unless I am in the Silhouette software.  I plan to fill it with some goodies for my niece.
This week I am continuing with my Finish Your Unfinished Objects Challenge.  And working with the Anniversary theme, the 13th anniversary, this week's extra entry theme is lace.  So work on a UFO that involves lace or paper lace for an extra entry this week. 
To enter this challenge, leave me a comment with your blog post address, or comment in my Facebook UFO challenge group.

#TransitionalTrend Fringe

Looking for new fashion and wondering what trends from Summer will continue into Fall Winter?  Consider fringe!  Like this Sun & Shadow 'Pretty Stitch' Crochet Fringe Tee ON SALE at Nordstrom for $25.20 and available in 4 colors (photo above).  Wear this with a skinny jean or pencil skirt.

Or some fun fringe leggings by Topshop, well priced at $38.00 (black leggings above)!  Pair these with a simple tunic top.

Not sure about wearing this trend, but love it anyway?  Consider it on your handbag!  Like the Milly 'Small Essex' Fringed Leather Bucket Bag (grey bag above).

Earlier this Spring I talked about one of my favorite Spring Summer Trends:  White Lace!  Well I'm back today to talk about how to wear well for the casual or formal occasion.  It really is a versatile textile!  For the casual look, pair the lace tee with the camisole underneath and the distressed jeans.   This beautiful Hinge top has lace detail engineered to flatter your figure for under $80.00!  Use a darker jean to slim the waist, and hips like this great pair of distressed boyfriend jeans by Wit & Wisdom!  Try this look with the small scale gladiator sandal like this Steve Madden Pair in multiple color choice options for under $60.00!  Add a bit more blue with a small scale pendant by Baublebar like this beautiful Pave Agate pendant you can pair with everything!  You can even add a pop of color scarf for an all American color scheme like this fabulous Michael Stars Faded Lace scarf.

For the formal look pair the lace top with the wide leg pleated pant by Chelsea28 for under $90.00!  Add the camisole under the top;as tee has no lining, and a great heeled sandal!  You'll love a heel with a stable heel that adds just the right amount of height like this sandal by Born.   Add the small pendant necklace in classic gold or even the blue one above and a box clutch you can wear for a lifetime (for under $50.00).   You can even take this look to the office for a desk to dinner night by adding one of the options below, an ivory blazer or this seasons trendy long vest!  I love this long ivory vest by Topshop for $90.00!
