Laced With Alternatives

Lace is awesome.  I mean, like a beautiful way to make you look dainty and sexy at the same time awesome.  How many other clothing options do that?  Exactly.  Keep this in mind as I say that I'm a little disappointed that lace-infused articles have become quite the trend this year.  Although this fact makes it much easier to find said articles, I would rather not see every girl and their dog wearing it just because a magazine told them to.  So, for those of you in like-minded opinion, here are some auxiliary options.
