You cannot visit good ol’ Canton without a trip to Collinsville. Whether you’re grabbing a bite at LaSalle, or you’re out for a jaunt along the walking trail, this downtown area epitomizes the phrase, “Small Town USA.” Obviously I needed a picturesque outfit to go along with the picturesque setting! That is where the eyelash lace comes to play. Eyelash lace is very regal. This fine fabric has become a popular embellishment, and brands like For Love & Lemons and Free People often resort to this adornment. When I tried this look on for my mom she said, “Free People could put a tag on this and sell it as theirs!” She would be correct minus the hefty price tag. This set is barely over $40! Who’s excited?!

This ensemble makes a statement in and of itself. Not only is it a majestic look, but the fit is worth discussing! If you are looking for a way to instantly elongate the appearance of your legs, this skirt will do it. The built-in short shorts and sheer maxi skirt overlay will give you the boost you’ve always admired. Five inch heels won’t hurt either…I kept the accessories to a minimum because I did not want to take away from the overall look. I am already looking forward to rocking this outfit in the California sunshine.

With more than one business casual occasion on this month’s agenda, when I found these high-waisted wide leg pants at H&M, I knew they would come in handy. Constructed out of gray plaid twill, these pants would match nicely with white, black, or gray! Rather than sticking to solids, I shook things up by incorporating lace into the mix. This black lace crop top hit at just the right spot, perfectly displaying the button details and front creases. Similar to mixing prints, mixing textures is another easy way to add some oomph to your workday ensemble. Sticking to a monochromatic color scheme, I accessorized with black diamond pave earrings and a matching bracelet. I completed the look with black peep toe booties and my favorite glitzy box clutch, courtesy of my sista from another mista, Ava.

Unfortunately these exact pants are not available online, but check your local H&M because I just picked them up last Friday. If H&M is not in a city near you, shop a similar pair online here.
