Winning Combo: Suede and Lace

suede and lace - these are a few of my favorite things.  when i first found this adorable lace crop top from Topshop, I kind of had no idea what to do with it. but obviously, i bought it anyway, because since when is that a legitimate reason not to get a rad crop top? and then these J.O.A. red fringe shorts came into my life, and everything just made sense. 

the key with a top like this is to find some sort of bralette or undergarment thingy that's more substantial than just a regular old bra. the one i have on here is from Topshop a couple years ago, but there are zillions of cute options out there now that can act as a bra without expressly looking like one. 

it's not an easy feat finding a similar pair of fringe rust colored shorts, so i subbed a cute skirt in below. if you're loving the nasty gal ones i'm wearing though, a few people are selling theirs on poshmark.
