The search is on...

For the perfect lace ensemble. 
 It's almost summer, and I only have a few laced items in white. Or should I put it in French term,  Broderie Anglaise?







All photos, except for this last one are not mine.

I guess you could call me a frill thrill seeker, as anything with embroidery catches my eye. You could imagine the joy I had when Dolce & Gabbana sashayed their S/S '11 RTW collection on the runway of Milan. I was in utter and complete ecstasy. 


So now, I am challenging myself to find vintage laced items on thrift stores. Why vintage, you may ask? Shopping on thrift stores are more challenging, as it gives a certain feel of glory and accomplishment where I could give myself a pat on the back for getting a great find on a humongous rack full of dusty clothes.

For starters, I already got two cropped laced top, one is a BCBG Max azaria, the other one was from a Chinese brand which I will rarely use since the care instruction say it is intended for dry clean only. 

I also got this cream laced dress, which I thought was a perfect 10 score for such great vintage find. But I know I could do better hunts than that. 

And so the challenge begins! First on the list, will look for that perfect lace shorts.
