3 Favorites: White Dresses
White Dress Edition
Memorial Day is in 13 days. Bet you forgot…I know I sure did. Needless to say, the markers that always signaled the end of one season and the beginning of the next have disappeared since we’ve been shut in at home with barely a window’s view to the world outside.
Once upon a time, the onset of May excited me beyond reason….the warmer temperatures, the promise of summer vacations near and far, rose on rooftops, picnics in the park….the list goes on. Perhaps the most exciting thing for me was that light colors, breezy fabrics, and easy silhouettes were back in rotation. As most of my friends know, there is literally nothing I love more than a barely there strappy dress and sandals. Extra credit for side boob and a Loewe basket tote.
While I’m not certain we will be able to enjoy the same summer pleasures this year, I have added a few white dresses to my arsenal this season. This season will be all about prairie silhouettes (think: a tiered skirt), ankle-grazing lengths, billowy sleeves, maybe an elegantly placed cutout or two.
Here are my three favorites of the season:
Aje Mimosa Cutout Midi Dress
Billowy sleeves and skirt, with an artfully placed waist cutout that reveals a tad more skin in the back. Elegant and playful at the same time.
Staud Swells Dress
The most flattering silhouette, with a fitted bodice and an a-line skirt. Dress it up with heeled sandals and gold jewelry or down with strappy sandals and a pair of oversized sunnies.
Sir the Label Alena Open Back Linen Midi Dress
Easy to wear, breezy with coverage in just the right places. Perfect for your next (socially distant) picnic in the park.
And lastly, the dress that I have had in my closet for nearly three years now, that travels with me on every vacation, that I throw on anytime I want to feel summer ready with minimal effort:
Reformation Parke Dress
Look put together with minimal effort. Throw it on for a quick trip to the grocery store or brunch with your girlfriends.
