STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Break the Rules

When the weather warms up a little, LWDs (little white dresses) replace LBDs. A white dress can be just as versatile as a black one and is a fun update for summer. Plus, as an added bonus, bright white gives you an instant glow. There’s no messy self tanner or sun burns needed. And, unlike busy floral prints, a white dress is something that you won’t get tired of wearing after one season. It can be styled an endless number of ways so that your friends won’t even remember that you wore the same dress last weekend. With the right accessories (maybe a tan leather jacket and suede booties), you can even transition it into fall. You might as well get the most for your money, right?

This Fashionista chose a white Topshop dress with cool mesh details. Chic black accessories make this look ultra sophisticated and appropriate for almost any occasion. A leather jacket is the perfect piece to throw on when the sun goes down. A bold red lip adds a pop of color and completes the look. Want another styling option? A white dress is also a great blank canvas for colorful accessories. Switch it up by wearing a yellow bucket bag and snakeskin print platform sandals.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “Just be yourself. Don’t be afraid to break ‘the rules.’ In fact, forget about the rules. Dress however you like because the only person you should care about dressing for is YOU.”
