STYLE POST: Lace Separates

Whenever I have fabric to make an outfit for a wedding (asoebi style), or some other event, I typically like to make separates that I can pair together or with other items from my closet. For me, that gives me the best bang for my buck! As much as I would like to have tons of money to go shopping, I simply don't and I have responsibilities at home. Therefore, any way I can stretch my money (N or $), sounds good to me.

You already saw a version of this with my Vlisco fabric post from here. I actually used one of those items to pair with my lace as you'll see today.

The lace material was bought for aso ebi for my cousin's wedding - which I blogged about here. Remember I drove from Atlanta to Boston for the wedding? I bought the fabric from Aliexpress abi Alibaba... one of them sha, and it came in 6 yards. I decided to make a top, skirt, dress (which I haven't worn yet), and also I added a little bit to my Vlisco top.

As you can see, making separates is like the gift that keeps on giving. I can wear the skirt with a button down shirt for a sleek look, and I can pair the top with skinny jeans for a simple but slightly dressed up look. As I find more ways to wear my lace separates, I'll definitely update you.

Look 1: Lace top and skirt to match - from my Joyful Wedding weekend post.

Look 2: Lace skirt with green top - from my Christmas Tree weekend post

Look 3: Lace top with my Vlisco maxi skirt - from my weekend post that should have gone up when I started feeling mega stressed out. BTW, this was the first time I wore my Straight Nazuri Curls Clip-ins. Remember you get a 10% discount when you use the code: BERRYDAKARA at checkout.

I think the third look would have been better with a red skinny belt. Oh well!

Which look is your favorite? Mine's the first one.
