White Summer Dress + Link Up

June 28, 2018

Is it just me or is the white summer dress really having a big moment?

I’ve been keeping an eye out for the perfect white summer dress.  Since I’m still looking, I went ahead and created the look here with a few old summer staples, a white gauze skirt and a lacy tank for a fun birthday lunch and shopping last week. Instead of styling it the way I have before with summery sandals, I decided to add some heavier elements with a bit of a western flare.  I added this cool buckle belt that my friend Rachel gave me and pulled out some brown suede booties that I had pushed to the fall/winter corner of my closet.  Not one piece alone makes me think western, but for some reason as a look, it did.  Any thoughts on that?

 You could blame it on my Westworld obsession, but actually western elements are having their moment right now too.

I asked Lisa of Frida in My Closet if I could share her Instagram look with my readers.  I thought her cool look shared a vibe with mine, and I’m loving the addition of the denim jacket and the white booties! Prepare to be copied, Lisa!  (BTW, if you’re not following her on IG, what are you waiting for?!)

Keeping with my theme … here are two beautiful white dress looks from last week’s link up.

Joi of In My Joi keeps it feminine and summery.

 

And Debbie of Fashion Fairy Dust is the queen of boho badass-ery!

Love both these looks!

Also on the blog this week another lightweight summer maxi skirt and also some random travel tips if you’re going to be heading to Amsterdam!

Don’t forget to link up, Dolls, and have the best weekend!!

    Oh I love a skirt and ankle boots! Even if I could never pull off a white dress, haha! I love the western vibe to this – I think it’s a combination of the elements together! 🙂

    Thank you for the link up!

    Hope that you are having a great week so far 🙂

    I love white dresses. Last week I was at an event – White Night – and I wore a white dress with a lot of lace.

    Boho bad-assery…lol! Thank you so much for the shout out my friend! I love your all white with the heavier elements. There’s just something about a white dress with darker unexpected pieces that I love!

    You can’t go wrong with a white dress (or two, or three) for summer. I am living in them right now!

    Nothing more refreshing than a white dress or all white look during the summer, love how you added the western touches!
