How To Style The Summer White Dress

Hello loves!  I hope you all had a lovely weekend.  After a very eventful weekend last weekend, I literally took in a lot of rest and relaxation this weekend.  I have so many wonderful things to share with you from that event so be on the lookout.  Great things are going to be coming your way!

Perhaps you’re thinking summer is coming to an end and there is no need for summer white. Much to the contrary, white does not have to be tucked away and hidden simply because of Labor Day. In fact, that rule went out the door long ago. Moreover, warm temps tend to hang around long after the first official day of fall. While I am truly ready for cardigans and booties, I am not putting my white dresses away just yet. I will honestly layer with a light denim jacket or cardigan when it does cool off and create a completely different look. For now, here’s how to style those lovely summer white dresses.

The dress

Look for those that are light weight, strapless or short sleeve.  The particular one here is almost sold out but I have shared some of my other favorites below.  Additionally, make sure that the material isn’t see through or at least is lined.  Otherwise, prepare to layer with slip.

Neutral Accessories

With a white dress you can certainly pop with color if that works with your style.  I personally chose to keep the dress as the focal point.  With that said, I selected a bamboo statement bag and nude wedges.  Both brought warmth to the outfit without taking away from the dress.  I splurged on this particular bag but I have also linked an alternative that I have seen in person.  It looks almost identical to mine with minor differences.  Either way, it’s a fun bag that I highly recommend.
