Dear Girlfriends:

For many of us, white can be tricky to pull off even in summer.

I’ve learned that  even now designers are suggesting that fall should be a blanc slate like ivory suits or creamy toppers. In fact, the little white dress seems poised to give the L.B.D. (“the little black dress”) a run for its money.

Girlfriends we all need to learn how to make white work for us!  Once you see the dresses I have selected your next question maybe – what to wear under white!   To pull off the look without a big-name designer or personal tailor on speed dial, I suggest a nude trimfit slip, a nude boy short or a pair of Spanx.

I want at least two white dresses for the Summer.  There is soo much to choose from these days!

With a jersey halter dress with ruching we dream of a splendid summer.  A romantic style deserving of its own sonnet .. look at this poet mini dress.  I even like how designer Raissa Gerona takes eco-chic to a whole new level with this dress. 

Modal Halter Dress

Poet Mini Dress

Bib Dress in Red & White

On an outing with the girls, you could pair this chic sheath dress in cotton poplin and pair with some color-hue accessories.  And then I’m all about the nomadic gypsy look that’s so hot right now.

Pleated Chic Sheath Dress

Long Ribbon Dress

So I ask you girlfriend – is white really the new essential for you?

Until the next style adventure,

Monica
