Black Widow

Arachnophobia:: [noun] pathological fear or loathing of spiders

Fun fact: I'm terrified by spiders, but I secretly also think they're really cool. Is that even possible? 

When I saw these awesome black lace bell bottoms at Necessary Clothing though, the image and words, "black widow" came to mind. How insanely cool are these pants? I love how the entire leg is mainly lace and how the flare completely sweeps the floor. This is a piece of clothing that screams for a double take, in the best way possible.

To make the look a bit more conservative, I went with a grey short turtleneck sleeveless crop, also from Necessary. This broke up the amount of skin shown, and created a more casual feel. To play off of the lines in the pant, I decided to add this cool vintage cardigan c/o Beacon's Closet. I love the concept of mixing lace patterns in the fall. Keeping the lace textiles either close in color or complimentary in color really gives the eye something interesting to look at, and they're also fabulous for layering. Finally, I added these adorable blue string earrings c/o BP Nordstrom, and popped on Mac's Retro Matte in Dangerous to funk up the look even more.
