White Dress

White dress I wear a small – size up it runs small. // Clear heels similar // Demellier midi bag gorgeous white bag I use this weekly! // Sunglasses //

Heart necklace similar

Every girl’s gotta have that go-to little white dress, am I right? What really sealed the deal for me with this one? It’s got a built-in bra – talk about convenience! It’s the ultimate grab-and-go number, whether you’re heading for a romantic date night, a baby shower bash, or just a fun girls’ night out!

So, picture this: you slip into that chic white number, feeling all kinds of fabulous. And to kick it up a notch, I’m talking clear heels for that leg-lengthening effect, aviator shades for that extra dose of cool, and oh, let’s not forget the trusty midi Demellier bag – seriously, it’s practically glued to my side, a true wardrobe staple!

Where wouldn’t you wear it, right?

One of my faithful readers asked me to write a blog post on what to wear to a wedding. She had no idea what to wear to the multiple weddings she was planning to attend this summer, so I accepted the challenge. First off, not all weddings are created equal. The bride and groom can opt for anything from high-end evening city wedding to a backyard barbecue. And everything in between. Have no fear, I covered the basics for you to arrive appropriately chic. Here’s hoping you don’t steal the show.

BLACK TIE :: Bust out your maxi dress. Long and elegant is the name of the game. I like this one.

BACKYARD I would wear this dress from today’s blog post for this occasion. Try something fun: sheer (like this option), a bow, a stripe, and just have fun with it.

CITY Don’t be afraid to again go long and chic, streamline and lacey. Like this lace and sequin midi dress. Or this under $50 LBD that goes brilliantly with nude heels and faux fur.

CONSERVATIVE — opt for floral or a navy dress and midi length.

DESTINATION Let loose a little in an off-the-shoulder floral dress, floral midi, gingham, and ruffle off the shoulder knee length

Margaret and Katherine Kleveland had a mission to provide responsibly-sourced high fashion pieces at attainable prices, which seems almost like a misnomer. But they manage to pull it off, with most of their gorgeous items under $200. Their vibe is very California-cool with loose, flattering pieces that fit most, if not all, body types. I’m already eyeing THIS blouse.  They also sell children’s ponchos that are sure to be drool-worthy on any toddler. And I kind of love supporting moms doing what they love, especially if they are genius at it. DÔEN HERE
