On a very sunny Sunday I decided to go prim and proper with my look. Styled it with a laced top and an abstract geometric skirt. There' something truly classic about  a high waisted pleated skirt and some lace. It screams 50s savy if you ask me, which is also one of my fave eras, taking away the World War II & the Cold War of course! I guess amongst the fashion eras this was the time when outfit choices truly embraced a woman's curves. Framed on the waist, fitting tops, and flattering skirts. Just an opinion..:)

Looking at how Geometric lines takes its form both in Fashion and in Interior Design. I amazes me how geometric themes either on furniture or main structures give it an instant modern vibe. I guess that's why lace and geometric patterns go well in my eyes because to me they provide the same concept. They create drama in plain pieces (like the crisp white wall in the interior and my white top) while keeping a quiet elegance to it... Don't you think? :)

    You look soooo pretty!! I love the outfit, I think the lace and geometric pattern go perfectly with each other, and the turquoise belt and nude bow heels add such a special touch. Great post!
