Six Ways to Wear a Pink Lace Top

Hello friends! I’m so excited to be launching a new look to my fashion posts this month!  My love for creating different outfits and finding as many ways to wear what is in my closet is strong, and I really wanted to find a way to bring that here to this space.  Earlier this spring, I tried out a few different post ideas and finally landed on showcasing multiple outfits in one post featuring a specific item, event, or style.  I hope these new posts will help you find new ways and more ways to wear the items shared here and give you some ideas for the items already in your closet. I still plan to sprinkle in individual outfits because sometimes an outfit just needs its own post.

If you have an item you would like to see featured and styled multiple ways, head to this dedicated page to make your request.  You may find it pop up in a future post.

This month will feature items styled across different seasons.  Being able to wear an item in 2-3 different seasons really adds value to it.  The more wears and use, the better return on your investment.

You may think light pink and lace is primarily reserved for spring, but with the right styling this pink lace top can also work for fall.  Heads up this lace top is not lined, and I’m wearing a white cami underneath it.  It’s a good thick lace.  I love the smock detailing and ruffle on the end of the sleeve.  It really dresses up the top.

SIX WAYS TO WEAR A PINK LACE TOP

FOR SUMMER & SPRING

WITH SHORTS
This outfit will work for both spring and summer.  The faded black shorts help lend a more boho and casual vibe to pink lace.  My light tan booties are perfect to pair with shorts in the spring season.  The lighter color works really well the light pink of the top.

WITH WHITE JEANS
A spring outfit roundup would not be complete without white jeans.  A pastel pink color and white compliment each other well.  White jeans help keep this pink lace top feeling dressed up.  I added in my block heel sandals to dress this look up even more.  This outfit would be perfect for brunch, Easter, or a shower event.

WITH LIGHT WASH JEANS & WHITE SHOES

Light wash jeans are one of my new must have jean colors.  The two lighter shades work really well together for a light and airy spring outfit.  To keep my outfit light and bright, I added in a white pair of shoes.

FOR FALL

WITH FLARED JEANS
To transition this lace blouse into fall, I’m adding in darker colors.  For a dressy casual fall look, dark wash flared jeans are perfect.  The light pink really stands out next the dark blue.  Since this pink has more of an earth tone feel, I thought these dark tan heels really complimented the outfit.  This would work for casual office look, date night, or dinner with friends.

WITH DISTRESSED JEANS & LOAFERS

This outfit is the most versatile of the bunch working for both spring and fall.  Distressed jeans are an easy way to dress down a fancier top like this lace one.  To keep with the casual vibe, I paired it with my tan flats.  You could also add in a pair of tan booties for a more fall look.

WITH BLACK JEANS  & MULES

Black is another color that really helps add contrast to the lighter pink of this top.  You could go with multiple shoe options here, a tall brown boot would work really well towards the end of fall.  For the early fall season, I’m really loving how this light pink works with the cognac brown of my mules.

Yep you read that right, a summer sweater in the Texas heat!  This zebra print summer sweater is lightweight and breathable, so it does work with warmer weather.  As someone who is always cold, I love summer sweaters for indoor events.  They will keep me a little warmer indoors where the a/c is blasting, but I can easily go sit outside and be comfortable.

The tan color of this print gives it such a chic and dressed up feel.  It pairs perfectly with white shorts or jeans for a sophisticated and polished look.  You can change out your shoes to work with different occasions like flat sandals for more casual or nude colored block heel sandals for a dressier look.  This top will also transition well into fall by changing out the white jeans for dark wash flared jeans and heels or skinny jeans with booties.

Stay tuned next week, I have one more week of summer outfits for you before we start transitioning into fall.  We will be talking all about shorts next week to get you through this final month of summer which is always the hottest here in Houston.  After that, I will be sharing how I’m transitioning some of my summer pieces to fall and of course all things Nordstrom Anniversary Sale which starts next week for the top 2 Nordy Club tiers.

Hello Ladies! So did ya’ll preview the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale over the weekend?  I took a little peek and decided flared jeans are on my priority list this year! I picked up this affordable option last year and wear them so much!  I decided to splurge on a pair this year.  Dark wash flared jeans are great for a casual office environment, creating a dressed up casual look, and transforming flowy tops into a boho chic outfit.

The semi-cropped length, flowy style, and floral print of this top transform into boho chic when paired with flared jeans.  I added in my espadrille wedges to complete the look.  Want to make this top have more of a dressed up feel?  A few weeks ago, I paired it with white shorts and flat sandals for a different look.  You have to love that versatility.

I like that the dark blue of these jeans pulls out the darker shades of blue in the floral top as well as helps the white and orange really pop!  This blue floral tank top is super flowy and lightweight which makes it perfect for the summer heat.

Happy Friday!!  I’m officially turning in my apartment keys today and saying goodbye to my home for the past two and half years. I’m always a little sentimental when I say goodbye to a home.  I think it brings up all the memories and fun times of the part of life that took place in that space.  Along with that feeling is always a little bit of excitement too about all the awesome to come in my next home.  I think of each home as one chapter.  So even though I moved out 3 weeks ago, today I’m officially closing one chapter and starting another.

Well now let’s talk some summer fashion shall we!  This red floral sleeveless top is so cute for Spring and Summer!  I love how the red and white print pops against dark wash denim.  This top has two lace detail lines which I think help break up this print and add a little shape.  It’s super flowy which is great for summer heat!  You could also pair this top with shorts either dark wash denim or white.  If you live in a warmer fall area, this outfit with brown booties will be perfect in September and October!

Also for all my Nordstrom lovers out there, you may be thinking this is the time of year for the BIG Anniversary Sale.  Well this year, the sale was pushed back to August.  The other big change is that Early Access will open in stages based on your member level.  The more you spend yearly at Nordstrom, the earlier you will get to shop the sale.  I’m a little bummed about this because I will not be able to shop on day one.  With that and shipping delays, my sale coverage will probably be more shop guides than normal.

Another change that I’m excited about is the addition of a preview week.  Starting next Friday, EVERYONE will get to preview the sale online!!!  Even though the one change is not my fave, I’m hoping both of these changes will prevent everything selling out so fast.  Are you planning to shop the sale this year??  What items are on your wish list??
