Look of the Day: Feminine Edgy


This Feminine Edgy outfit starts with a girly lace dress.   One of the many reasons I love lace is because you can make it edgy just as easy as you can make it soft and pretty based on accessories you add to it.   Lace also has so many different patterns and colors, so you are sure to have a unique dress (or other lace clothing item).   The accessories in this outfit are a sparkly, cream colored clutch, a pair of black suede platform booties, a pair of vintage pearl flower earrings, and a crystal headband.   The clutch, adds more texture to this outfit.  The light cream color and sparkles also add more personality to this dress.   Clutches are perfect when you only need to hold a few things such as a cell phone, and money; so its always great t0 have a versatile one like this around.  The suede platform booties are what makes this outfit edgy thanks to their dark color and rough material.   If you want to add more edge to an outfit like this, stick to leathers, suede, and any other edgy material you can find and feel that compliments your lace.   If you have a colored lace (meaning anything other then cream or white), I would defiantly go with black suede or leather so it does not detract to much attention from the color of the lace.   The pearl flower earrings add a cute vintage touch to this outfit.   When searching for jewelry to compliment an outfit like this, you need to look at what compliments the dress, not the other accessories.   This is so you can easily find textures and patterns that go together.  For instance, if you just look at the dress in the image above, and then one at a time look at it with each individual accessory you can see that they each go with the dress.   I believe this is much easier then looking at them all together because, for some it is confusing to see many textures and patterns at once.   Last but not least, comes the headband.  Headbands defiantly are not for everyone, but if you like them or are willing to try one out, I suggest either a crystal, pearl, or leather (if there is no other source of leather in your outfit) for a lace dress.   Good luck!
