Froth.

I have long lusted after the frothy  lace concoctions from Valentino.

Swoon, swoon, swoon.  I mean, can you imagine the dreaminess of sporting this $8K wonder to your rehearsal dinner?

Would be so elegant with add-ons like this stunning floral necklace ($150); floral-appliqued clutch ($278); statement earrings ($168); Eugenia Kim headband ($215); vintage floral clutch ($253); pearl earrings ($25):

Lucky for us, Needle + Thread has lots of gorgeous options that get the look for much less.  I mean, check out this dazzling duo of options: this belted mini ($360 — also available in a maxi length) or this drop-waist ruffled style ($335):

Other options:

+This classic lace French Connection style, on sale for $148!;

+This of-the-moment crochet-effect style from Graham + Spencer ($150) — love the scale of the flowers;

+This lovely (sort of vintage 20s effect) maxi from hip line Maje ($570);

+My personal favorite: this off-the-shoulder maxi, which I am planning to buy for my 5 year (!!) anniversary this August ($272);

+For beach wear, you can’t beat Miguelina’s frothy white caftans: this maxi is absolutely stunning (on sale for $299), and this style (on sale for $169) would be a throw-and-go classic.

+This blush Alice + Olivia, which I gushed about here, is on sale for $454 here and on sale for $279 here!

+This For Love + Lemons maxi ($252) would turn major heads;

+This $30 steal would be great over a bikini on a summer vacation.
