Charlotte Russe Lace: Pretty Little Liar's Aria

Combing through Charlotte Russe's website yesterday, I noticed some incredible lace detail tops. Stunning! They reminded me of Aria's style from Pretty Little Liars (one of my favorite shows for style inspiration). And now that ABC Family announced that season 3 is on the way...I've been reading up on the show's costume designer Mandi Line (I might be her newest-biggest fan), so I created this Aria-inspired "mock-haul" from Charlotte Russe.

Focus: Details, Dark rich colors, subtle flirty signals

BLACK TRIM AZTEC TOP

 The cold shoulder trend is perfect for looking a little flirty, but staying casual. An earth tone Aztec print balances out the harshness of the black and the detail trim only lets a hint of skin show.

Aria's character would probably wear this on one of her more casual days.

 PRINT SLEEVE DOLMAN TOP  (My favorite on the list)
Particularly good for creating a small waist, the curved black "stripe"
down the middle works with the under-bust cinching to give you the illusion of a super tiny waist. The over-sized sheer sleeves tease onlookers with a hint of your silhouette and brighten up the look a bit.

Aria might wear feather earrings or a mini skirt and boots with this top.

 LACE ACCENT PEPLUM TOP
Lace and a floral print, can it get more girly? Well, the dark tone gives this top and edge that would pair well with some spikey jewelry and a knit hat.

 LACE-BACK COLD SHOULDER TOP 

Despite its ordinary front, the backside of this top is breathtaking. You can put a colorful tank underneath, maybe tie-dye if you're really creative. Or, if you love wearing leopard print shoes, try a red under shirt and a leopard print belt.

 Even though the back is detailed, this top needs some long layered necklaces in the front or a small print scarf to make you stand out.

Aria doesn't really do basics. (The only time I remember seeing her in a plain black tee, it was slashed with a white undershirt and she added large gold statement earrings.)

 FLORAL CHIFFON ASYMMETRICAL TOP

Asymmetrical hems add a lot of interest if they're done well. This print is subtle and mature, yet the hem gives it a young vibe. It'll go great with a body-con skirt or well fitted pants.

 LACE TRIM CHIFFON BLOUSE
As much as I like the front side, the elongated keyhole back is my favorite part of this top. Long sleeves make it great for winter. Pair it was a leather jacket to mix girly and rebellious vibes.

Aria would probably wear some kind of edgy boots with this. Maybe lace ups or intense buckles.

 LACE INSET PENCIL SKIRT
Ordinary pencil skirts aren't the most exciting thing anymore. The lace inset and trim adds interest and gives your skirt a personal touch. It's dark and feminine in a femme fatal sense.

 Got to love the side view!

All the links are here for you to find the clothes easily. I chose a lot of tops because Charlotte Russe is having a buy one get one 50% sale on tops. Shopping sales is usually a good idea if you want to get more for less...

Earrings and some Hanna inspired clothes are on the way!
