Perfect Little White Dress

Dress: MNG by Mango via JCPenney / Belt: Goodwill / Bracelet: Forever 21

My best friend emailed me today about dress shopping for the wedding. She included some articles I must read before we go shopping because she doesn't want to be unprepared. Ha ha, she doesn't want to be unprepared what about me?!?! I really appreciate her pushing me to do these things because if it were up to me I would start shopping next year. I read a few interesting things like don't take your whole wedding party to go dress shopping because not everyone will agree on one dress (and god knows that's true). You should just take your maid of honor, mom, and maybe sister because they are some of the most important people in your life. They will be honest (painfully honest, sometimes) and will have your best interest at heart. The articles peaked my curiosity and pushed me to start my search for the perfect wedding dress, so naturally I go to David's Bridal. I found a few options I would like to see in person and to remember which ones I admired the most I pinned them to my Pinterest board. Side note, can I just say Pinterest is amazing and keeps me organized or so I think. Here I go into this dress shopping world with a few nuggets of wisdom, wish me luck!! This topic is a great segue into today's outfit the LWD (little white dress).

We always talk about the perfect little black dress (LBD) but I never hear anyone talk about the perfect little white dress (LWD). It's the forgotten essential piece to completing a fashionista's wardrobe, making summer much more stylish and perfect. I found this gem while shopping at Jcpenney (my favorite store, if you couldn't tell) and it originally had these ruffled straps which took away from its appeal. I almost didn't buy the dress, but then I decided to tuck the straps in and it did the trick don't you think? Sometimes you have to play around with clothes because you can transform anything from "not your style" to the piece you have been looking for all your life!! That's exactly what happened to me with this dress. I had been looking for a summery white off the shoulder dress for a few months with no luck but I fell more in love with the strapless look of this dress. I paired it with a gold belt and some beige colored heels to keep the focus on the dress. I felt a flower in the hair was a very appropriate accessory to add a dash of color. I'm going to try and bring this accessory back to life because it's always been one of my favorite trends. Yes that is the Queen Mary, in case you were wondering. TGIF!!!

XO,

Shirley
