Memorial Day is this Monday, which means that we are now allowed to wear all-white outfits—that is, if you follow those archaic fashion rules. If not, it’s just another Monday that you may or may not have off from work. Hopefully you do. The sun is shining. The air is warm. Legs and arms are meant to be bared. It truly is a beautiful time! So, whether you have an upcoming graduation, a wedding to attend where you want to spite the bride, or you just want to embrace the unofficial clothing of the new season, let’s explore white summer dresses...
Dolce Vita Valentina Lace Dress : Violette wore this dress two years ago and we’ve been getting inquiries ever since! With the exaggerated eyelet bodice, you’ll exhibit your upper unmentionables, so plan accordingly (a purposefully noticeable bra like this is recommended).
Club Monaco Edan Dress : If you are convinced that you should have been a young adult in the ‘60s and your aim is to recreate The Summer of Love, begin with this dress. Just grab a flower crown, head to Woodstock (well, try Bonnaroo), and send us some pictures.
J.Crew Strapless Matelassé Dress : Or maybe you are more a child of the ‘90s and wish your closet were more like that of Joey or Jen from Dawson’s Creek. If so, this sweet and strapless dress is a must.
Sea Lace-Detail Embroidered Baby Doll Dress : If you google the words “Victorian,” “Bohemian,” and “modern flirty twist' you’ll end up with…well, probably lots of interesting things, but this dress could very well be one of them.
Acne Studios Lash Poplin Shirtdress : I’ve made my opinion on pants known, so when a dress takes on the form of a comfortable sleep shirt masquerading as a stylish daywear option, count me in.
