San Antonio Roses Love Lace!
Ladies in San Antonio love their lace…turquoise…silver….leather and all things feminine western!! Visitors will often see this on many women in our multi-cultural city…it is another way to style lace, but one that is very popular in Texas. Thinking of this, had me humming an old Bob Wills country song called San Antonio Rose. Here are the lyrics….and here’s to all of you San Antonio Roses out there!!
Deep within my heart lies a melody
A song of old San Antone
Where in dreams I live with a memory
Beneath the stars all alone.
It was there I found beside the Alamo
Enchantment strange as the blue up above
A moonlit pass that only she would know
Still hears my broken song of love.
Moon in all your splendor knows only my heart
Call back my Rose, Rose of San Antone
Lips so sweet and tender like petals falling apart
Speak once again of my love, my own.
Broken song, empty words I know
Still live in my heart all alone
For that moonlit pass by the Alamo
And Rose, my Rose of San Antone.
Good will provided this lace shirt with bling! Only $2.00 |
The sheer lace top and the fabulous green necklace came from Stein Mart! |
I have several lace handkerchiefs from grandmothers and great grandmothers. They always make a nice touch with a suit jacket. Many cowgirls wear lace with their western Now, check out all of the lacey ladies at Everybody, Everywear

This is great with the pop of turquoise in the necklace!
Come take a look inside A Working Mom's Closet
My fave is the lace top with the long v- hem. I'd be pairing that with a long denim skirt and some bad-ass cowboy boots!
Very pretty! You styled the lace beautifully. I esp like the top from SteinMart, and your beautiful jewelry.
I like the jade green with the lace!
Love Bob Wills, WAH-hah!
You look lovely in your lace tops. I'll bet they're also cool and comfortable.
I love lace myself, being from Texas. When I married my hubby (in Texas) I wore a beautiful ivory lace dress with glass buttons. I love that dress.
I love both shirts you have on, the first one is my favorite.
Hope you have a great day.
I love the "western" way to wear lace. Paired with leather and chunkier jewelry keeps it from being too "precious" and gives it such a great personality.
That blouse on you is so FAB! I love the bell sleeves. You totally rock lace.
lace + western?? i LOVE that!

I looove that second lace top. The shape is amazing.
LOVE the first lace top, 2nd one is really cute too.
I love the lace with rodeo accessories, so feminine and so Texan! I wish I was in San Antonio right now having a margarita with you and some of the other visitors to your blog! Wouldn't that be fun? Did I miss any wedding posts? Did the wedding take place yet?
I am not southern… but I love that song! And I love lace, denim and cowboy boots and hats — ALL AT ONCE! You look great today! Cheers!
