I adore this look- finally a lace top/bandeau combination done right! It's perfectly sexy without going too far. I love the contrast of the black and ivory. Normally I play it safe with the nude bandeau but this is a great version!
it's necessary.
but the lacey thing should only be a building block to an outfit - not the star. it's more interesting to see the lace peeking out from a blazer.
i think since you are wearing a bandeau instead of regular bar this is not skanky! This top could be worn with anything but i like the way it is in the picture with high waisted trousers.
You pull it off! Would look good if you had a blazer or something structured over the top as well. I almost would want to see harem or drop-waist pants on the bottom for a change...
I'd do like a tube top cami or something since that's an especially see-through top. I'd wear skinny jeans. Or actually if you have wide flare pants (fitted through thighs), that would look super fashionable. Love the high waist.
