Summer trend for 2012 - bring back crochet and lace shorts!  Gone are those days when knitted fabrics and laces are strictly seen on wedding gowns and eveningwear.  One can easily spot lace-inspired clothing pieces these days.  Lace-y skirts, casual dresses, suits, coats, blouses and just recently, more and more people are into lace-y shorts.  Honestly, what’s not to like?

Lace shorts are adorable, light, sweet and romantic.  Simply pair it with a basic tank top or a simple tee, ballet flats or sandals and you are ready for a nice stroll downtown or perhaps take your much needed ice cream break with your friends.  At night, throw on a leather jacket or a pretty blazer plus your favorite pair of wedges or heels and va-va-voom… there goes your sexy clubbing outfit in no time!

How about you?  Which one’s your pick?  My favorite’s number three.  I like its color, cut, style and lace pattern.  I might check our Vero Moda boutique downtown [Yes!  We have one!] for this pair.  Hope they have it for a better price.
