Style Symmetry

As I was packing up for the big move on Friday I found a few lace and crochet blouses hiding in the back of the closet.  They must have been lonely hanging in the dark for so long so I decided to check the web to find some fun ways to wear them this summer.

Now I could wear lace the way I usually do, with cute vintage skirts.

To mix it up, how about 80s style tucked in to a cute pair of shorts?
Maybe  channel the 1970s with flared bell bottoms, tooled belt and wedges.

With all white or bits of beige with a long flowing skirt.

Or I could try something really new like under a sheer dress, with a dark bra and/or cigarette pants or sleeves poking out from a dress.

How do you wear a lace blouse?

I spent yesterdays solstice in the best way.  I had my first voice lesson that I am trading weekly yoga classes.  Next I taught a class downtown to a lovely group and then headed to Wreck Beach.  This beach is the best place to go on a celebratory day like Summer Solstice.  Bongos, guitars and clarinets (I also saw a violin) jam in the afternoon sun.  Hula hoopers and stick twirlers keep your eyes entertained.  And the ocean water is warm and welcoming in it’s shallow depth.  I biked home the mostly downhill path not getting home until 10pm.  Happy Summer!
