I originally picked out this luscious lace dress (similar style under $150) for a wedding this summer, but seeing as I have no sense of delayed gratification, I couldn’t wait one more second to wear it. It’s the perfect shade of blush pink, and the fit-and-flare silhouette is right up my alley. While I’ll probably wear this dress with gold sandals and a sleek matching clutch for those upcoming nuptials, I’m pairing with my favorite faux-leather jacket while the weather is still pretty mild. You may think black is too much of a contrast with this pale pink hue, but I think it’s just right! The black leather offsets the super-feminine vibes of the dress with a bit of edge. Wearing a light jacket like this one (or this one – both are under $100!) is how I’m able to transform even my most summery of dresses into a cool transitional look for spring.
Since the delicate lace and leather already showcase some strong textures, I like to keep my accessories simple. A good pair of black strappy sandals are a great investment to make this year. Almost every shoe designer has some variation of this sexy shoe, so there are a ton of styles and price options to choose from! Sandals like these (lower heel option here) are a great way to elongate those legs and they literally go with everything in the warmer months. Also, I didn’t realize how much my wardrobe needed a subtle black clutch until I bought this one in December! It’s been in constant rotation and has been my number one choice for nights out lately. Best part? This clutch also comes with a strap to convert it into a cross body style. Yes, please!

I’ve always loved leather and lace together. It’s the perfect mix of girly and edgy. The blush and black take it to the best level. Gorgeous as usual!
