Little White Dress

Staple of the Stars

The little white dress has taken Hollywood by storm this spring, and it's showing no signs of stopping. The little white dress has shed its former image as the bff of the words "I do" with flirtier silhouettes, climbing hemlines and a range of fabrics from sweet to sassy. Just as there's a little black dress for every woman the LWD has followed suit. "White hot" is the fashion phrase of the summer as the likes of Rachel Bilson, Hillary Swank, Molly Simms and Mischa Barton step out in the non-color of the season. Who can blame these blockbuster beauties for being color copy cats though, when it so deliciously plays up a summer tan though? Pick your perfect LWD in a fabric and cut that suits your style. Girly girls may want to stick with an eyelet baby doll, while glamour gals may choose a minier mini and prepsters head for a white polo dress. Ethereal or edgy, eyelet or itty bitty there's a little white dress for every occasion and every girl.

Wow. I don't think I've purchased a single article of clothing for
more than $20 ever. I did once, but then returned it because I
just really didn't it like it THAT much. I might consider the
first one even at regular price since a dress is a whole outfit,
but I just don't wear dresses. :)
The Old Navy one is UGLY. Talk about a mumu!
white skirt + white tank = dress, if you don't like the idea of
wearing a dress. Plus you can choose the exact styles you want for
each separate piece.

That's the route I go, I dislike wearing dresses "just because"
And what have I been trying to tell you all? YES!!

and, while we're on the topic... another white dress. This one is
the $25 one that mark has.

cute isn't it?

I still have a hard time fathoming that people think it's okay to
get a little white dress for more than $50. Even $30 is quite a
stretch for some people. lol

And yes, I love thrift stores. I actually got the pants I'm
wearing today from a thrift store.

And lots of time I feed my shirts too. lol thank goodness for
stain remover! I keep them in business!
that's ironic, i just wore my LWD out to lunch yesterday...and i
had no idea that they were "in" this season! haaaaa. i'm halfway
trendy and don't know it.
OMG I love the Forver 21 one. But I don't wear white. Bleh.
Last year, I had to get a white dress for graduation and I
couldn't find them ANYWHERE! But this year, almost all stores are
selling white dresses. What the heck!?! =)
senior have to wear white dresses for the last day.. i lvoe mine
I like the idea of white but I have a tendency to spill stuff on
me all the time.
the prices omg...to much thrift store jc penny they work..
i like the betsey johnson one. too bad i already got a white
halter dress for like 17 dollars lol
Personally as a dude there's nothing hotter then a little white
dress on a cute girl...NOTHING


These dresses are sooo adorable and I'm in love with the one from
Urban Outfitters. The only problem is that the LWD is supposedly
simple, but the prices aren't THAT simple. i mean I bought one at
a thrift store for a lot cheaper and I'm just as happy =D Overall
this was a great article though because the LWD is really coming
back into fashion;)
