Love white dresses in the summer? Yup, me too! We may not be going out as much but I've found 20 super cute options for you under 50 bucks so you can take a quick stroll. run to the store or just to look cute in the house!
Howdy! Welp, last Friday you saw my brainstorming in action as I tried to figure out what to wear to this brunch with an all-white theme. If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you may have already caught a glimpse of my getup. Here it is in all it’s glory… Hair: Marley Twists Necklace: Aldo (similar here & here) Dress: Rainbow (similar) Gap scarf worn as belt (super old- similar here) Shoes: JustFab (similar here) I wasn’t sure WHAT to expect when I walked into Rainbow with my tight budget (limit- $20!) but I was hoping for a miracle. Would I find something brunch-worthy?! This strapless dress was the only thing in the entire store that was all white, basic enough to dress up and at a length I was comfortable with. I’ve basically been over the high-low thing since it began (LOL!) but this was doable since the “high” wasn’t…
So, here’s the story. I was invited to a brunch taking place tomorrow which I’m very excited to attend. Only thing is, it’s an all-white event. Now, I have a few white separates but nothing that really “goes” together. I’m also on the tightest budget EVER in the history of time. What’s a girl to do?! I took to Google the other night, brainstorming, using my PhotoGrid app to make a quick collage: Folake of Style Pantry always gets it right! A dress takes the guess work out of “what to wear” since it’s basically a top and bottom in one and her maxi is spot on. I added another basic maxi to the mix as well as a few separates just for some inspiration. I often like to accent a neutral, monochromatic palette (esp. white) with color color color, so I thought I’d go with my coral Lizette pumps…
