One Trend, 2 Ways Pose Off: White Lace

Posted by Alexandra C. | Monday August 6, 201262 comments

 
This week, Mandy and I decided to play twinsies. We're both posing off in the same trend: white lace. Only we've each done it in a different way. Now, if you've been on the site for even two minutes, you've probably figured out that Mandy and I don't exactly look alike. While Mandy is on the petite side, I am much taller and curvier. We wanted to show you how everyone can wear a trend, you just need to figure out what works best for you and your body. So, let's get started, shall we?

Mandy 


Mandy is wearing Talula lace shorts from Aritzia. They're fairly high waisted and they're cut in a running shorts style. They're comfy but still trendy which keeps her looking cool and chic. She usually styles it with a plain solid coloured tee to keep the interest focused on the lower part of her outfit.

I am wearing a thrifted white lace pencil skirt that flares out in a trumpet style at my knee. I like this a lot because it's very flattering on my curves. I pair it with blouses and heels in cooler weather for a more formal look or just a plain cotton tee and ballet flats in summer for a more casual look. 

How do you prefer to wear white lace? As a skirt or as shorts? Leave a comment below with your white lace outfit pick by August 12th for a chance to win!

Honestly, you both rocked it. Because Alex has my body type I'd vote for the skirt but you both look fab.

Alexandra wins. Something about lace is just so fitting for a skirt, not so much for a pair of shorts.

Hey! Did you ladies get dressed together? Both of you look beautiful and dressed appropriately for the weather...I personally prefer Alex's skirt because I love skirts, but Mandy's shorts look just as nice and seem practical for a trip downtown on the subway. Its fun and flirty at the same time, all the while being girly with the lace. Great summer OOTD.

I prefer Alexandra's look the skirt is very flattering but I find the shorts with the black top too much of a contrast

I love both of them, but I think I like the lace shorts better. They are younger and more fun.
