What I love about the supposed “rules of fashion” is that
they were designed to be broken.
It seems silly to impose limits on a form of self-expression. And while sometimes these rules are
justifiable for the sake of appropriateness (tube tops and flip flops do not
belong in the office…EVER), other rules, such as “no white after labor day,”
are just screaming to be broken.
White looks so fresh during the summer months, and a LWD (little white
dress) is a great investment piece.
Do not worry about the transition into fall. With the right accessories, the LWD can easily go from
season to season. Just keep this
dress away from weddings (wearing a white dress at a wedding is not acceptable,
and that is one rule that is better left unbroken!).
The Dress
Spring/Summer
Since the dress is so simple, you are free to have a ball
with the accessories. Oversized
sunglasses and a large carryall in a bright color, such as this yellow,
complement the delicate eyelet lace of the dress and are perfect staples for
the warmer weather. A sleek watch
and architectural, cutout heels make this dress feel modern and appropriate for
a young professional.
Fall/Winter
Layering is the key to make this breezy dress cold weather
friendly. Slip on a long sleeve
t-shirt underneath the dress in a saturated fall color, such as this cranberry. Add long tights and lace up ankle boots
for extra warmth. The beige of
these shoes works well because the color is not too overwhelming with the white
of the dress. A floppy felt hat in
a rich tan color looks incredibly chic for fall, and it’s a deceptively warm
accessory. Finish off the look
with a pair of dangly, feather earrings to really transform the vibe of the
dress.
