Visible Monday #58: Lace Encore

Welcome to Visible Monday #58! If you want to participate, it's so easy: just go to the bottom of this post for the simple how-to.

I had so much fun with my lace blouse last week, I decided to go lacy again. This time, I chose a sheer lace topper that I picked up in a NYC consignment shop. I wore it over an easy knit dress by Lauren Ralph Lauren, with nude platform sandals by Anne Klein.

Unlike Thursday's mildly self-conscious outfit, I felt very confident and authentic in this look.


Picasso's lion has similar hair to my own!


A couple of silver-and -goldtone bracelets were the only accessories.


Now, let's see what you're wearing, Visible Women!!

The guidelines to participate in the Visible Monday Link-Up are so simple!
  1. Whoever wants to can join in! Just compose a post that includes any outfit, accessory, piece of jewelry, hairstyle, cosmetic or other adornment that makes you feel more confident, alive and visible that day.
  2. Include a link to Not Dead Yet Style somewhere in your post.
  3. Go to the bottom of this post and click on this cute little link:


In the "Next Step", you crop the pic (easy tool) you want to display, and you're done!

    I love your lace!!  I loved the way you styled it before, and this is another great look.  I adore lace because it covers but still looks airy and pretty, perfect for summer especially.  I'm in the process of making another piece that features it.  After that, I might have to create something similar to yours.  You look fabulous.

  5. I love the two patterns together - the overall effect is super delicate but the black and the shoes help keep everything grounded. I laughed about the comparison of your hair with the Picasso piece!

  20.  I like the effect of the lace over black and white. Nude shoes was a good choice. It would have never occurred to me and I would've spent 15 minutes trying to decide between black or white ones!

  26. That look is so cool, Patti.  You get more and more creative all the time!  I don't know if I would've ever thought of mixing the two - but the delicate lace over the delicate print looks divine together.

  27. Great look, I love how it's a sort of lace-over-lace effect. Really pretty.

  28. Ah, lovely lace.  It deserved the encore.  You look like summer and yes, your hair is totally Picasso.

  31. Love the lace over the print dress! I takes the lace in a classy and fun direction rather the more usual sexy styling. Love it! ;)

  33. Love your outfit, Patti, so feminine!

  34. Usually I put something white/solid under a top like that, so I think you've got an innovative idea.  I like the picture behind you.

  35. This look of yours is just so light and pretty!  If this is you, I LIKE it!

  36. This is a beautiful dress.  I love the lace top over it.  The outfit looks like a nice fabric and fit for warm weather.

  37. Very pretty!  I love that lacy look.  Makes me wish I had splurged the 4 bucks and picked up the thrifted lace top I found today!  But my daughter had some nice finds so we spent our mad money on her.  I save the rest for a chocolate milkshake, which my hips will be mad about tomorrow.

    xoxo
