Two Ways to Style a Lace Dress

I received this beautiful little lace cocktail dress from Lily Boutique  a few days ago.  I looooove it.  It immediately skyrocketed to the top of my favorite dresses list.  I'm 5'9" so it was a bit short but I played around with it in two different ways with two different slips and I liked the outcome with both.

How I Styled it:

Look #1:  Boho

I wanted to keep with the dainty and delicate feel of the dress so I paired it with:

Golden Rhinestone Headpiece - my design
Quartz Crystal Necklace - my design

Pyrite Ring - Mineralogy Designs

Fake diamond Ring - thrifted

Golden Pesos Ring - a gift

Gold necklace, wrapped and worn as bracelet - thrifted

Creme colored slip - had it for years

Fake leather sandals - Target

Look #2:  Edgy
silver tiny box earrings - my design

Black leather belt - my grandma's from the 70s'

Black slip - came with a different dress

Black heels - Chelsea Crew

Chunky Silver rings - gifts, thrifted, Forever 21

Black leather bag with dangling chain - Forever 21

I ended up wearing the second outfit (I think the delicacy of pretty lace paired with more edgy elements is my favorite) to an event put on by my friend's lingerie company this past weekend.  Well, technically my boyfriend's good buddy's girlfriend is an intern for a lingerie company here in Seattle.  They had a fun little bollywood themed party at a Spirits Distillery here in Seattle, the first one opened in recent years since the Prohibition!  Pretty amazing.  It was a lot of fun.
