Summer might be partially cancelled, thanks to Madam Corona, but summer dressing hasn't. We've had a few good weather days and I am so ready to bring out all my summery dresses. Call it house-dresses, or stay-at-home chic dresses, I have been embracing these summery, just-throw-on-and-go dresses and white is one color that made it's way to my closet in abundance this spring. I have been shopping for easy-breezy dresses like crazy and white seems to be the predominant color of choice.
I will have no grievance against myself for transforming one section of my closet into this white colorless zone, but trust me- there is nothing more comfortable and soul-satisfying than a pretty white dress. Think of a white dress like a plain canvas- fill it with colors, patterns, textures and create your own masterpiece. My masterpiece is uber feminine and effortless and edgy and I needed just a few essentials to make this look standout.
Killer pair of heels
Your sole is a reflection of your soul ...... trust me- your shoes speak a lot about your personality. Just a glimpse of someone's shoes and you can get all the cues about their mood and personality. Clearly, I was feeling a bit dressy that day and yeah I am the girl who loves everything feminine and classy with a bit of an edge. Irrespective, the embellished pumps add some luxe to my dress. I could have worn something bright, but I wanted to keep the dress more of the focus.
A statement bag
For the last couple of years I have been really watchful about my shopping, specially when it comes to bags. ' Quality over Quantity' is my new shopping mantra. I consider my bag as an investment piece and don't mind splurging if I know the bag will last me forever. I bought a few high end bags in classic colors, and now some colored good quality bags are on my radar. This coach bag that I am carrying is an instant outfit-picker and the perfect pop of print that any white dress could use. So, don't be afraid, carry your brightest bag, most statement-making bag with your next white outfit- you will thank me for this advice.
Over-the-top accessories
If not for the statement necklace, I would have either worn an over-the-top headband or a silky scarf with that dress. An obvious choice though and the color-mixing standards set for summer by this industry and/or even the retailer catalogues is to be blamed for that. Anyways, I went a little overboard with my choice of accessory accessories by pairing a statement necklace, embellished shoes and honestly I think I fared well.
