BCBG Black Lace Dress


I love lace dresses, but this is one of my favorite.  The color, cut, and style makes it very versatile.  BCBG fits my body perfectly - even though my top and bottom are two different sizes.  I paired this beautiful dress with a Hmong Silver Necklace and silver NineWest Sandals.  Cinched in the waist with a black obi belt from The Limited.


Same ensemble, but I added a Hmong Leeg Men's Jacket.  Be sure to right-click to enlarge the photo to see the details of the necklace, earrings, and the jacket.  All the pieces are handmade.  



Here, I paired it with a green metallic leather blazer made by one of my all time favorite designer, Dana Buchman.  I really like this blazer because the color, cut, and styling makes it look like a evening jacket - but has the look and fit of a leather jacket.  This could definitely work for a semi-formal event.  I kept the black obi belt on to help define the waistline and add interest.


Here, I wore it with a mint green denim jacket from JCPenny.  I love how denim jackets can make a semi-formal dress like this one look casual enough for dinner out with the ladies... or out on a date.



Here, I wore the lace dress with my Hmong Chinese jacket (shown in an earlier post - breaking down a Hmong outfit).  I am not sure if I like this look, but my husband did.  He actually wanted to take this picture with me.
