Lovely Lace Frocks
There is something so sublimely feminine about lace frocks IMO…or a lace anything for that matter. We all know how much I love to sparkle…especially around the holidays, but I think it’s time I give another look a try for those dress up events I have on the horizon. Enter lace. Whether I choose a more traditional look or decide to go an edgier route, as I’m inclined to do right now, there are a multitude of beautiful options out there. And I just might already have something that I can make work in my closet.
I may remix one of my go-to lace tops for instance. I mean there are soooooo many ways to rock a lace top. You can go the full on dressy route or go for a more casual look depending on what kind of soiree you have to attend. As you can see from how my bestie and I styled our respective lace tops, the options are endless! And the same goes for lace frocks. They can be worn a multitude of ways too…Just don’t forget a statement piece!
If you want to go full on dressy with it, lace frocks really are the way to go. Sure little black dresses are fabulous, but little lace black dresses are really something to write home about! In fact, you can take inspiration from my lace peplum top look when you’re on the hunt for lace frocks and pick up a pair of statement shoes to go with them. I’m partial to animal prints!
So, is lace something y’all are planning on rockin’ this holiday season? Or is this a “trend” you’re leaving by the wayside? I hesitate to even call it a trend really. Lace is a classic look…and classics never go out of style. So, have you found a hot lace dress lately? Inquiring minds want to know!
Ooh the first Rachel Roy has amazing draping – modern and vintage at once!
Yes please on #3 and #5!
Love these!
Wow I love them all – I just need a fabulous party to attend!
Beautiful dresses. I love when lace is edgy instead of romantic.
I LOVE the lace look right now….but I’m really loving orange & light pink! Please tell me the BonBonRose girls will be posting about that fab color combo soon!
Noted! And I’ll work on it! xoxo
All of my Christmas parties are super casual this year but if I were dressing up any of these would be perfect. xo
The top shop dress is so unique, I’d love to have that little number in my closet!
that topshop one is calling my name!
LOVE the rachel roy one!

If I had anywhere to go, I’d love a dress like one of these. My holidays are a tad more casual.
Theone-shoulder top shop dress is stunning.
i love the last Topshop one!

Topshop ones are my faves! I still prefer the sparkle though…
Love the Topshop dress, and I’m not usually a fan of one shoulder dresses. I have no plans for lace this year. But there are lots of ruffles in my closet!
Ooh I really like the Valerie dress and the Topshop dress! I’d be super cute in one of those. 🙂
Such gorgeous dresses!
Gah! That Lace Dress by Wal G at Topshop is LOVE!! 🙂
I like that one-sleeved option.
oh how lovely! Forever 21 and Express have some gorgeous lace dresses right now!!
I’m all about lace, those are so pretty!
The Wal-G dress is super cute!
I think a black lace dress would be pretty at a wedding if it was dressed up with a satin body. Just thinking.
I LOVE that last dress!
Yep, huge fan of anything that’s lace and/or crochet! Might have to get that Topshop dress pictured last. Loves it!

Lace dresses are so fun to wear. I’ve seen some very affordable dresses at Target that are just lovely!
The first and fourth dresses are fantastic!
Never really considered a lace dress, but the last Topshop pick is right up my alley 🙂
Adorable dresses, but I wish they could pick some more realistic models. They are too thin! MERRY CHRISTMAS HONEY!!!! Kori xoxo
I could model. My Italian curves are very realistic. HA!
I love lace, so I think I might try it this holiday season!

Oh come now! You just make me want to shop all the time. Love lace for a glam look!
Um, Santa… may I please have the Rachel Roy dress? Thank you very much 🙂
I adore this look but have yet to find one I really love… Hopefully soon!

Lace is always so sexy/pretty and festive for the holidays, I love your picks! So amazing, especially that TOPSHOP modern take on lace 😉
Those are gorgeous!
Diggin’ the Rachel Roy dresses. I like their edge.
I thought it was a trend I was leaving by the wayside until I saw that swirl dress. Hot damn, hot momma!
Definitely the Rachel Roy!! So pretty doll <3
So pretty! Last night I was trying to buy a white lace dress to bring to Florida next week but it had to shipped from England and I doubt it would be here in time…Plus it was so expensive I just could not justify spending that much especially at this time of the year…soooooo IF you happen to see a short white lace dress thats both sweet and sexy and not too weddingy Please let me know!! As if you are not busy enough 🙂

I love a little bit of lace around the holidays!
Beautiful and elegant dresses.
LOVE lace dresses!
i’m not into throwing trends by the wayside. if something still looks good then, by all means, continue to rock it. and these lace dresses are great, especially with print booties.

Must. Have. Last. Dress.
Only something that stunning and unique could turn me into a cave (wo)man! 😉
That topshop dress is really special. It would be the perfect new year’s dress.
All that lace detailing goes perfect with the LBD’s. They’re all gorgeous.
The Topshop dress is amazing.
I just know that #1 is going to appear in my dreams.
Bisous,
Rachel

You know, that Rachel Roy dress is something that is totally different from what I usually go for, but for some reason I’m drawn to it. It’s so gorgeous! And I kinda love that it has sleeves!
Love that Rachel Roy number.
Gorgeous–I’ve been loving this trend! My favorite is the Charlotte Russe.
I’ve wanted a lace dress for so long! That Topshop one is gorgeous.
The dresses from Topshop are fabulous!
Heyaaaa! Congratulations on winning links a la mode on ifb too! Well done love from yeahitsshyy.blogspot.com xx
Lace isn’t a practical winter fabric, but I’m with you- I’ve been craving it all season. I acquired quite the collection but I must wait for warmer weather to enjoy.
congrats on IFB link feature by the way. Go Bon-Bons!
I love lace dresses! And that last one is extra incredible! x
I need that Rachel Roy swirl dress in my life, like,
now!
Great post! I still personally adore sparkle (hence the name of my blog and all,) but would pair one of these lacy numbers with some sparkly necklaces and a big old cocktail ring!
My favorite is the last one (Top Shop) – it reminds me a lot of the Alexander Wang naked dress that was so popular a year or so ago.
Happy New Year!

I wish i could wear that top shop dress tonight. It reminds
me of a surprisingly edgy escada skirt and top I saw at Neiman’s
last week.
awesome outfit!
