After waiting until the last minute to decide what I was going to wear for my birthday (usually never a good idea), I quickly remembered I had been saving this crochet gem for a special occasion. What better occasion than my 24th birthday?! In my opinion, ivory lace crochet has classy written all over it– and for this year’s birthday, it was too perfect not to wear. I’m not saying I am the classiest lady there ever was, but I am at a time in my life where I love portraying the professional, confident, & successful business woman that I have become over the last year (nothing wrong with that). Not to mention, in my profession I am usually wearing athletic apparel on a daily basis…so getting dolled up and wearing a fem little dress is a lot fun every now and then! Why did I belt it? Well, see… I wasn’t fortunate enough to be blessed with female curves, so I have to do what I can to accentuate those hips. Adding a high-waisted belt is a super flattering trick for making your waist appear smaller!
If you haven’t noticed…crochet, cutouts, textures and patterns have been some of the hottest trends this spring/summer. And if you thought crochet was only meant for the blanket your grandmother made you when you were a child, think again. This pattern has been in the fashion industry for decades and it isn’t fleeting anytime soon. Crochet is such an easy way to add a little bit of texture to your look. I was going for a feminine/flirty feel here because it was my birthday and birthday girls can do that!!
