Summer Wardrobe Essential: the white dress

by Laura McBride

Summer! Is there anything better than the round, softness of the air and the easy rhythm of the days? It got me thinking about wardrobe essentials as building blocks. Stack them easy in a row or arrange them to showcase a castle. Either way you’ve got to have the essential building blocks. So, if you’ve been following me for a while, you know that wardrobe dressing is the key. And strategic buying will give you those building blocks. You may be wondering why should you hone this skill? So that you can buy better, but fewer, promote sustainability in fashion, have fewer holes in your wardrobe and be able to get dressed with very little effort. #goals. So, let’s look at the first Summer essential building block for effortless dressing: the white dress.

When the air is sweltering and you can feel the weight of it on your skin. A light airy white dress is the antidote. Somehow, just putting it on makes you feel cooler. It’s the perfect blank canvas for all of your colorful stacks of necklaces and bracelets, is easy to pack in your suitcase, and can be worn day or night depending on your accessories. Scroll down for a curation of some of the best options out there.

    Oh gal! What a great line up of blocks!!! Thanks for this tutorial. I am definitely considering adding this to my line-up.
    Sad to see that the daisy smocked dress was out of my size. Boo! Loved all the variety you gave us…kind of want one of each! ????
