Happy Thursday, mes amies! We’re just a day shy of the weekend and, depending on where you are, you may be looking forward to some pleasantly warm weather the next few days. Ahhh…so we meet again, dear sunshine! I can’t tell you just how much I love warm and sunny weather – it’s simply great! But what I can tell you is that warm weather means cool fashion. So what’s a girl to wear in a time of heat and heavy sun? Something light and breezy, of course. Crochet is delicately feminine and a must-have for spring. So whether you’re feeling vintage or boho, I’ve picked out my top 4 crochet pieces to wear this weekend – and beyond!
Crochet Top
I don’t really know what it is, but I’ve always loved the way a knitted crochet top feels. Perhaps it’s the breeziness it provides on a warm day, or the texture of the knit but, at any rate, I love it. If you are to only own one crochet piece, make it a fully-knitted top like this one from ASOS. Like lace and any other sheer fabric, crochet lends itself to layering while giving just the right amount of peek-a-boo effect. A top such as this one looks great when worn over a nude cami for a natural look or over a black top for sophisticated contrast. For a boho look, pair your crochet top with some denim cut-offs, lace-up ankle boots and wide brim hat.
Crochet Shoes
I absolutely adore these crochet espadrilles! They’re a femininely casual shoe for weekend wear, not to mention that their knitted design is perfect for the warm days of spring and summer. My best friend says you can’t have too many heels, but I say you can’t have too many flats! If you’re going to add a new pair to your collection this summer, make it these. These are the perfect slip-on for a Saturday morning stroll through the farmer’s market. Put on your comfortable pair of cuffed boyfriend jeans and white button-down (sleeved rolled up) over a ribbed tank. Gather your hair into a loose side braid, put on your wayfarers and then grab your reusable shopping basket!
Crochet Tote
If you like to experiment new trends a little bit at a time, then incorporate some crochet into your wardrobe with a handbag. This crochet tote is an ideal accessory for this season’s bohemian chic trend and is as great for toting around town as it is for heading to the beach. Pair your tote with a cute chambray romper and flat gladiator sandals, then throw your hair up into a high bun, put on some disc earrings and you’ll be ready for a day of fun under the sun, beachside, all while looking glamorously casual.
So what do you think of these crochet pieces? Will you incorporate any of them into your spring and summer attire?
