Sweet Eyelet: A Perennial Spring Favorite

There’s something so fresh about the texture of eyelet pieces.  It’s no surprise then that this lace alternative emerges as a trend this time of year.

Back in 2008, I ‘splurged’ on a Tahari eyelet dress, spending $79.99 (retail: $348).  It’s a classic shift dress with puff sleeves and a buttoned down front. The embroidered eyelet is a chic floral cutout over a white silky lining.

I was willing to spend more on this dress because of its impeccable quality and design.  It was a good buy, too, because I’ve worn this dress to everything from a sophisticated evening affair to the classroom on a regular teaching day.

Four springs later, this eyelet dress remains a favorite.

    You've definitely demonstrated that a classic piece is often worth the investment. Love the wedges!

    Oh…this dress is beautiful. What's funny is that I have a skirt from Talbots with a similar (or same?) pattern…but in the color of your shoes! =)

    It's a really pretty dress…and if I was wearing it in my classroom, the students' attention would never waver.

    I just love the detail at the top, too. Great find, great buy! I think I only have one eyelet piece but I *love* it – it's a kelly green pencil skirt from Talbots which I picked up a few summers ago in DC. Definitely a warm-weather staple.
