The Little White Dress

LBDs or little black dresses are an integral part of my closet. The boyf once told me that I am always drawn to bold colors like hot pink or red. He is SO wrong! Truth is, I always relied on my LBDs and LWDs when I want to keep things simple yet sophisticated. I am not going to lie - these little dresses have never disappointed me.


This skater style dress fits the bill. It is one of those dresses that will not catch your attention when it is on the hanger. But when I put it on, I was quite blown away. The fit was perfect, the cut hugged my body just right, and the texture on the fabric is high quality. What else can you look for in a dress, right?


I always had a penchant for simple dresses that can stand on their own. There is no need to dress them up to look good. 

What is your favorite new purchase?

  5. Very cute! My throw-it-on-and-go dress is brown, and not so little, but I know what you mean. It's great to have a dress that is comfy and can go anywhere. My linkup post is at http://gamineautumn.blogspot.com/2014/02/the-lightness-of-gamine-autumn.html.

  12. Thanks for stopping by my blog! I love to hear from my readers. I love this dress! Flared dresses are my favorite. The red pops of color your added to the outfit tie in nicely with the red lipstick.

  16. It looks lovely on you! There are so many items that don't look great on the hangers but look stunning when on. I love the cut of this, the way it flares out towards the bottom is really flattering.

    Hope you have a lovely weekend.

  17. White dresses are definitely the better choice! It's so versatile too so you can wear it in a bunch of outfits! And can I just say that I am in love with your style of photos? So vintage/old school :)
