Lace It Up Ladies

Lace in my eyes has been restricted by lingerie and the insecurity of feeling too slutty in public. For me it was associated with a someone willing to make a very bold statement in their wardrobe, and for a very long time I played it safe in this area. But, there was also a part of me who thought this was a very girly girl fabric that of course is also not my taste nor style. But as silhouettes evolve and the drape of lace has become much more do-able for fully fitted or loose looks... I am coming around. These are my top three looks for Fall 2011, then to follow those of course are the affordable looks.
Of course all of these are above $300.00 And we all I know that is not in my budget. So options to substitute would be the following:

Victoria Secret for about $50.00

Victoria Secret for about $60.00

American Apparel $52.00

American Apparel $38.00
