Eye Spy: Eyelets

I still remember one of my very favorite spring outfits from high school: an adorable strapless, white eyelet dress I would belt and wear with a denim jacket and a cute pair of sandals. It’s a bit Southern and twee, I know, but there’s just something about an eyelet pattern—so delicate! so feminine!—that I love. Fortunately, this classic pattern can also be downright sexy in the right color and silhouette.

I don’t think I have a single eyelet piece in my wardrobe right now, but with all of these options, that shouldn’t be a problem for long! Do you see any favorites here or have any of your own?
