Hi Fabbers! I found this black lace boxy top at Nordstrom back in February.
It's made of cotton and ends at my waist (which is the most "crop" that I am willing to wear).

1) Wore this to church. I lightened the pic so you can see the lace details and where the top ends. A lot of black but I think the gold choker and the animal print clutch helps.

Pics 2-5 are possible stylings:

2) With Leith pants, navy & grey striped turtleneck, and grey booties.
3) Same top layers, black tube midi skirt, and dark brown booties.
4) Print top (cobalt, white, and black), black shorts, and black flats.
5) Blush dress, snakeprint belt, and blush slingbacks. The back of the lace top has a swing/butterfly opening. I thought the scallop detail and the way it arcs was too pretty to be only seen from behind. Plus it gives a peek of my favorite belt.

So are any of these stylings wearable outside the house? I like the way it looks with a print top, but I'm also on team maximal. Does it look too much?

How about wearing it backwards?

I really like this blouse, but I've only worn it once. I don't know why.
