Fall Trend: Feminine
It’s all about ruffles and pleating and bows. For those who love the victorian style (you know who you are) you never fit in so well. Truly romantic.
Before you start bedecking your self in head-to-lace, here’s a few guiedlines for your fall choices:
How to Wear it:
Avoid the stiffness of Victoriana by adding structure–Straight leg pants, a pencil skirt or a coat with clean lines. The contrast is dynamic.
-snag a lovely sheer blouse and pair it with a suit jacket
-toughen up a pretty lace or tuxedo ruffled blouse with your favorite slacks or cropped capris.
-pair with feminine ballet flats in silver, neutral, pink or black.
Don’t:
-Wear ringlets, barely there blush, or bold jewelry.
-make sure the lace you choose to wear does not look like lingerie
-wear ruffles if you are more of an apple shape, big bust or waist,

Thanks for the reminder to not wear lace that looks like lingerie. I’ve been noticing some silk and lace shirts out there that could double as night gowns.

Yea, I was so shocked the other day when I was reading an article and their was a woman pictured in, what they called, “beautiful” dress. I could not decipher one difference between it and a lacy nightgown.
Odd isn’t it?

What a cute update! I love vintage tops, they’re just so sweet and girly - grown-up girly I mean - who can resist? They’re soo fiminine too.
I have a hard time tilling what resembles lacy lingerie and what doesnt, that’s where my mom comes in.
A great place to find super cute tops is Alloy.

Everytime I’ve seen this style done well, they capitalize on contrast.
The hair is sleek and modern, and the ruffles are unexpected, always paired with something more masculine.
