Until recently we thought jacquard was a bit old-fashioned and stuffy. Old-ladyish if you will. However, for Spring 2012 we have noticed embellished jacquard…jacquard mixed with metallics, sequins, lace, beading, etc. Guess what? Now we are crazy about it. Fresh and innovative embellishments to the otherwise stuffy material is brilliant! Here are 10 embellished jacquard pieces we are loving right now:
