Posing in Lace (plus play our Guessing Game to WIN)

| Thursday February 17, 2011

Once upon a time, lace was frilly, flouncy and feminine - something we associated with little girls going to their First Communion or royal courtiers in fairytale books. In recent years, however, it's no less feminine but with a decidedly sassy edge.

Of course, it was only a matter of time before we did a Pose Off in lace.

Alexandra works this seemingly demure high-necked and long-sleeved top - anything but frumpy, especially paired with her bold red lip.

Posing Wall newbie and fresh addition to the ChickAdvisor team, Mel breaks out these gorg lace stockings plus studded belt and bold gold necklace to give her simple LBD a ton of personality.

Lauren pairs her lacy top with menswear-inspired coordinates, bumping up the girlie factor with a cutie-pie butterfly necklace.

And there you have it: a style once relegated to trim on granny's pillowcases has been reinvented to its edgy polar opposite.

Speaking of opposites, which of our posers was a tomboy growing up? Someone's correct guess will win them a beauty prize!

I was right there with them up the tree's having snowball fights, helping them build Dum buggies. You name it I was with them. My mother tried to put me in pretty dresses, but I always managed to put my pants on. My mom even has a pic of me up a tree in a dress with pants on under the dress. Go Tomboys go!! Enjoy your gift.

She's been known to rough it up a little while playing hockey with her brothers (and really - if you're playing hockey with your brothers, you need a little grit, dontcha?). The lucky winner of this week's beauty prize with her correct guess is ... Patricia! Congratulations! We'll be in touch soon via email for your mailing particulars. Everyone else, you'll have another chance at a fun guessing game coming up soon.
