Nothin' like starting off summer with a hot hot day. Layering may not be comfortable in this heat wave, but does lace count as a layer? (I mean, there's probably more exposed flesh than fabric). I love challenging myself to find new ways to wear items (like I did here also), so I buttoned this top behind my back, turning it into a vest. I love a simple, little black sundress, but adding the feminine, lacy topper and delicate metal and rhinestone jewels, it's a sweet look for the first day of summer.
