There has been quite a buzz stirring in fashion articles about the newest trend in dresses: the Little White Dress (LWD). That’s right, it’s no longer JUST about the LBD, but rather the LWD. At first read, I was a little apprehensive. This may come as a shock to most of our readers, but I was in a sorority when I was in college (Kristen was too, by the way) and if you have ever been in a sorority you know most, if not all, require every lady to own a white dress for “ritual” ceremonies. When I was in college, there was no such store as White House Black Market to find a modern and affordable white dress. Thus, my dislike for the LWD began.
Perhaps it was this picture of Sarah Jessica Parker from SATC 2 that lead me to rethink my position on the LWD. So simple, yet so chic. I had dress envy right away. There is something about the color white that really brings about a sense of summer. Sure the LBD is always in fashion but during the summer months, a black dress can seem boring or drab in comparison to all the summer color. White is actually a great compliment to the season. You can even change up the look of a white dress with the addition of brightly colored or
metallic accessories.
I discovered a few LWDs out there that I would recommend as a staple in your closet. The first is from White House Black Market and has the flowy goddess feel, much like the SJP dress.
The other dress that I found was on Macys.com and is made by BCBGMAXAZRIA. While it
is on the pricey side, I think the ruffles are fun and flirty which is another charming characteristic of the LWD. Not to mention the sheath style is very classic.
Are you inspired to bring the LWD into your wardrobe this summer? If so, we would love to hear from you or even see some pictures of you in your LWD.
