On the sunny—and stylish—side of the street this summer, be sure to spot the delicate lacey frocks worn by the most fashionable celebrities. While the little black dress is the ultimate staple for any season, the little white (lace) dress provides just enough “must-have” appeal to win a place in your wardrobe. My long time love for a good juxtaposition of trends has definitely influenced my style. What’s more fun than pairing feminine white lace with tough black-leather shoes? It’s all about playing with what you currently have in your wardrobe.
Break away from bridal associations by updating the dress with your favorite new handbag. If you do want to feel like a princess bride (and unleash your inner Kate), by all do means, no one is stopping you. But if you’re like me, and prefer to incorporate contrasting accessories, pair your look with some edge and character—a vintage black leather bag or a studded clutch sounds just about right. Another reason to invest in a white lace dress is that it is pretty versatile for events. You don’t have to wear it merely for a formal dinner. Basic flats or sandals are ideal to downplay your outfit, and offer a comfortable look for those laid back summer nights.
