Finally, Lace is Sexy Again

All the grandma-inspired lace clothing that killed lace's sexy reputation in the last few years made me want to scream. There's no reason that 20something year old girls should be wearing clothes that look like they belong on the crazy 90-year-old cat lady next door.

Thankfully, alluring peek-a-boo lace is back and hotter than ever and the fashion world can breathe a collective sigh of relief. You can find it everywhere, on any budget. Here are few of my personal favorites under $100:

1. The "This ain't your grandma's lace" dress:

Black and ecru open back lace dress, $49, Venus.com

2. The "Louboutin inspired" lace booties:

Lace Booties, $59, Spiegel.com

3. The "I'm too sexy for my" pencil skirt:

4. The "Hey buddy I'm up here" lace leggings:

How do you feel about the "grandma" trend? Are you glad that sexy lace is back?
