When you’re wearing a white dress, chances are you reach for neutral accessories or a few pops of color. Right? I do the same, especially during the warmer months! But there’s something so refreshing about the crisp combination of black and white, no matter the season.
When I was in Dallas a few weekends ago, the attire for Saturday night’s festivities called for something white. So when this textured fit and flare dress came in the mail the night before I left for the trip, I knew it was flying south with me!
I knew it would be a sea of white at the event, so I wanted to style my dress a bit different than I typically would. I tried it on in my closet so many different ways and loved all of the looks, which speaks to the amazing versatility of a little white dress come summertime! Plus, the fit and flare shape makes it so easy to dress up or down for any occasion.
I love this dress with a pair of pink heels (how cute are these?!) and a rattan clutch. I also love the look of a white dress with nude sandals and a punchy, poppy-hued handbag. Lace-up espadrilles are a no-brainer, too! And how cute would it be with these daisy wedges and a straw tote?! The list goes on and on.
Can we talk about these sandals for a second? I am obsessed with them! The heel isn’t too high, the lace-up detail can make a plain outfit pop, and you can tie them either in the back or the front depending on what you’re wearing. And they’re pretty affordable, too! I may or may not have bought them in three different colors! So you’ll be seeing a lot of them this summer… Sorry I’m not sorry.
Another favorite accessory right now… This little black bag that functions as both a shoulder bag, crossbody, and a clutch! The black and gold is classic, and I was in major need of a new black clutch or ‘going out bag’ .. This one is perfect. I also have it in a cornflower blue suede, which will be great for the coming months, too!
