We all know how important the “little black dress” is. It’s the one article of clothing that will get you through any social event on your calendar. But now that it’s summer, maybe we should switch things up and try a “little WHITE dress”. Yes, the old rules dictate you should only wear white Memorial Day through Labor Day (and we are now in that time frame), however, I do believe the white dress can be worn all year long with the right accessories and other pieces in your closet. White is classic, crisp, and chic, and looks fabulous with a tan. Here are some celebrities rocking the LWD.
Jessica Stam is stunning in Marchesa
Tali Lennox in this season’s hot trend-the shirtdress
Gabrielle Union is perfection in this three-quarter number
Caroline Sieber shines in an almost kimono-looking ensemble
Cameron Diaz is chic in this white jumpsuit
Vanessa Hudgens personifies glamour in this gown from Philosophy di Alberta Ferritti
Ashley Madekwe in adorable in this shift from Zara
Rachel Bilson opts for couture Chanel (love this one)
Natalie Portman in a darling LWD
Every designer and retailer offers a LWD this time of year. Here are some of my favorites in stores now.

Great!! I love that you show us the celeb’s choices, but then give us ‘normal’ folks choices as well. Thanks.
Thank you!!
