Sunday Style - Little White Dress

Hello and welcome to another edition of Sunday Style with the JET Team! Tomorrow is Memorial Day in the USA, but this long weekend is also the unofficial start of summer! There used to be a fashion rule that you couldn’t wear white until after Memorial Day. That rule has been broken for quite a while now, but white still feels right for summer.

LWDs (little white dresses) are a fresh summer alternative to the LBDs (little black dresses) that have been popular for years. One of the reasons women reach again and again for their LBD is the versatility. And just like a LBD, you can accessories a LWD for a variety of occasions and to reflect a variety of moods.

1. White Bohemian Tunic, AUROBELLE
2. Leather Sandals, Leatherhood
3. Leather Fringe Handbag, RusticMoon13
4. Boho Pearl Necklace, DeetabyDesign
5. Boho Chic Dragonfly Earrings, Foret
6. Leather Bracelet, littlebrownbird
7. Sea + Salt Hair Mist, HerbsandOilsBath
8. Natural Straw Sun Hat, EllaGajewskaHATS
9. Gemstone Anklet, cserpent

Since it is now summer, let us start with a beachy look - something you could wear walking on the boardwalk, or for a casual dinner at a beachside restaurant. A breezy bohemian tunic dress (1) from AUROBELLE is a great start. The details of pin tucks, hand embroidery, and ruffled edges make this easy to wear dress special. Greek strappy sandals (2) from Leatherhood and a beautiful fringe handbag (3) from RusticMoon13 add more tan leather and more of that boho spirit.

Add bohemian accessories for a breezy summer outfit. An amazing long necklace (4) from DeetabyDesign pairs well with Foret’s lovely dragonfly stick earrings (5) and littlebrownbird’s sweet leather bracelet (6). For carefree beach waves in your hair try Sea + Salt Hair Mist (7) from HerbsandOilsBath. Or if it’s windy, or too sunny at the shore, top your look with a fun and practical hat (8) from EllaGajewskaHATS. Add cserpent’s bronzite and tiger’s eye gemstone anklet (9) to finish the beach chic look.

10. White Eyelet Peplum Dress, Twelve26Plus
11. Rhinestone Bobby Pins, BlancheB

13. Kumihimo Spiked Bracelet, NancysCrystalFantasy
14. Dichroic Glass Ring, ArtJewelerNYC
15. Skinny Belt, ABOVETHEFRAYCO
16. Clutch Bag, redrubyrose
17. Leather wedges, BaliELF

Our second LWD outfit is a little dressier. Lace dresses are trendy, but a LWD in lace can scream “wedding dress!” A beautiful alternative to lace is eyelet, which gives the same airy feel but says “retro summertime fun dress!” Start with a fit and flare peplum dress (10) from Twelve26Plus in the aforementioned eyelet. Add some sparkle and more vintage feel with a rhinestone bobby pin (11) from BlancheB.

Another way to avoid looking like you are going to elope at lunch break is to add color accessories to your LWD. I picked purple just because it’s my favorite color.  (12) have the perfect purple twinkle. Add some funkiness with a kumihimo spiked bracelet (13) from NancysCrystalFantasy, and a bold statement ring (14) from ArtJewelerNYC.

Pastel Glitter Nail Lacquer, GirlosityCosmetics

Define your waist with a smart skinny belt (15) from ABOVETHEFRAYCO, and carry an unusual clutch bag (16) with a dandelion illustration from redrubyrose. Leather wedges with strappy ankles (17) from BaliELF are cute but wearable. A good choice for your manicure to complete this dressy outfit would be Pastel Dreams above by GirlosityCosmetics.

Enjoy your weekend, and see you all next week!
