Laced With Style

Posted on by The Style Cake

I’m “jujjing” my style as you can see. I’ve been in love with lace, defined silhouettes and soft colors lately. I recently wore an outfit that featured a little bit of lace.

I loved that look so much! I am a big fan of lace but it’s been hard for me to incorporate it into my looks. Well, my mind would not let me go there. Lace has carried around a delicate reputation for bedrooms, special occasions and accents.

That reputation has changed. And before it changed, I changed. I started wearing lace how I wanted to and I’m proud to say that I expanded my style. Since I’m now even more drawn to lace, I found this lace top thrifting. Now let me tell you, I am IN LOVE with this top! I wish I purchased it from a regular retail store because I would love this top in nude, pink and black as well. But, it’s a one of a kind. To feel better, I went out and purchased a lace dress (that I will share in this blog soon) lol and I love that dress but the quality of the lace is just not there. The quality of this top is impeccable. The construction is perfect and doesn’t risk easy snagging.

As you can see, I wore a statement necklace over the top. I didn’t worry about anything but whether the two were a stylish combo lol. That’s the beauty of thrifting. I’ve found some alternatives for you ladies that love the looks of this top. In the meantime, share your thoughts!

Talk to you soon,

Impromptu Post…

We love Monday mornings….SIIIIIKKKKKEEEE! Ha! I love them because that means we are alive and up to live our dreams. Anyhoo, what gets me through some Mondays is reflecting on the fun and/or relaxation of the past weekend. I had an interesting and very difficult one but friends that are family to me helped me through it. Check out my pics from one of my outfits this past weekend. Aye! One time for the weekend! Lol. (sigh) Forget crying over Mondays, summer is almost over so I’m trying to soak up the heat wave we got coming! <insert cheers here>

#MeijerStyle Clothing Review

Posted on by The Style Cake

If you have taken a peek at my Instagram (@citygirlstylecake) lately or checked out my last post, you can see that I showcased a cream colored lace cardigan. I truly love this cardigan and I wanted to share my review of it. First of all, I saw an ad in a fashion magazine (I can’t remember which) that showed the cardigan with the price point and availability. Most lace cardigans I’ve seen are quite expensive in my opinion for good quality. I searched for a long time so I was happy to find this one.

Review: 

Price Point- I loved the price point of 20 bucks!! If you are on a budget or simply like a good deal then you understand my excitement! I have compared some other brands/stores for similar styles and other maxi lace cardigans and this is honestly the most affordable for the quality. I was also provided a 20% off coupon (in the fashion magazine) and so I was fortunate to get an even better deal than just the price itself.

Quality- The quality of this cardigan was comparable to an item of clothing that you would probably find at an H&M or Target. I have yet to wash this item but when I do, I will update this post. The lace is not too thin that you can poke a hole without much effort. The stitch work is pretty decent, in fact I was expecting some stray threads but there weren’t. I think the quality is again, pretty darn good for 20 bucks.

Style/Design- The style of this cardigan boasts a maxi length and long sleeves. There is no way to close the cardigan. In fact, my only complaint is that I wish there was more fabric so that I could close it if I needed to. I have a larger “bottom” which actually prevented me from being able to get the cardigan anywhere near being closed. This wasn’t a big deal because my look didn’t call for the outfit to be polished, hence no need to close the cardigan. If you have a larger bottom, I would suggest going up a size.

 

All in all, I would buy this cardigan again. I purchased another cardigan and will do an ootd and review on it later. I saw other items at Meijer that I was shockingly in the urge to buy. There are a lot of nice pieces that are modern and trendy. Meijer has a variety basic tanks, tees as well as graphic tees, sweaters and sweatshirts. Jessica Simpson has a clothing line in Meijer and the items have great quality! To see some of the items of Meijer clothing section, check out #meijerstyle on Instagram.
