lace (almost entitled don't you know you aren't supposed to wear white after labor day?)

I've been working with wholeport....

they basically send me a package of goodies...

and i make crap out of it.

win win.

this first package i got piles of beautiful lace!

i have been on a lace kick so i was beyond excited!

random side note: my bff in high school was lacey. which really makes me have to think about the spelling....i always want to write it with an e....

i took this white lace...and went and bought a flat sheet from walmart (it's about $5...and it's quite a bit of fabric!)

then i just laid it out and cut a rectangle of lace and fabric and

I actually doubled up the sheet (and made the folded over the bottom part of the skirt so i didn't even hem it! and sewed up the back seam 

and added elastic...(just fit to your waist before sewing it on)

 i left the bottom so the lace overhung the underneath...

dang you picmonkey..you get us all hooked...then BaBAM. charge.

i love it paired with a belt..

and i (of course) had to make matching ones for the girls! i love having coordinating outfits! (we are wearing them to church on sunday..i'll have to snap  a picture so you can see us all matchy matchy!

I saw this one at target...loved it!

i mean look how different it looks with a different color behind the lace...

 (gray)

and this one is just against my blue wall (love this one!)

I also got these

remember that slip extender...

these would be PERFECT for this! you could sew them right to the bottom of any skirts that need a little length!

and here's some more great lace inspiration!
