Contrast |
Lace fabric is like shimmering, sequined fabrics, it adds a different texture and spruces up an outfit if done right. With lace, to get away from overdoing it and looking matronly, take it to an edgy place.

Totally Hipped Out |
The best way to do that is to add contrasting elements to the outfit. For example, wear a lace skirt with a neutral toned or denim, manly blouse to keep it from being overly prissy.

Denim vs. Lace |
If you chose a lace dress, or top, try wearing sharp jewelry (by sharp I mean things like crystals, or metal studs. To me crystals have a hard icy-ness about them).

Edge |
A lace dress is always adorable because it is both sexy and demur. The whole see-through aspect of lace brings that unexpected edge, but all the frill makes it impossible for lace to seem too fresh or forward.

Again, to tone down the kitch, girly-ness pair with edgy accessories, shoes, or handbags.
Happy Monday!
