Friday's Fancies: The Little White Dress

Happy, happy Friday!

Since I was away last weekend, I missed linking up for Friday's Fancies. I asked {av} if it would be ok if I used last week's theme for this week- it really is too good to miss! We're always hearing and reading about the LBD (little black dress) and how to style it, where to wear it, and all the variations that are available. However, I believe that the 'little white dress' is completely underrated and just doesn't get the attention that it deserves. Shame on the more popular, older sister for stealing the spotlight.

So, for today's Friday's Fancies, I'm celebrating the versatility and loveliness of the LWD and sharing some exciting ways to style this fabulous wardrobe staple.

add some sparkle to your LWD)

(A swipe of the new Kate Spade lipstick would definitely do the trick!
How about that second color?!)

 (For the ultimate 'little white dress,' I think those feathers add the most perfect touch)

 (And, of course, a pretty little rock never takes away from an outfit)

My take on the LWD is quite simple- bold accessories. I love the contrast of the bright pink shoes and bag accompanied with the simplicity of the white dress. And frankly, an outfit is never complete without a little sparkle.
