White Hot

A little white dress has impact.

This one is supposed to be a shirt, but I've gotten away with it as a very short dress. Just add jewelry and take care to avoid wind tunnels (my sincerest apologies to anyone I may have flashed). The sides are inset with panels of stretchy ribbed cotton so it gently hugs the body. It also doubles as a great beach coverup, or you can try rocking it with shorts for a safari look. James Perse contrast panel button-front shirt, $173 @ Shopbop.

A breezy little striped number from Rag & Bone, $221 @ Shopbop.

Velvet's Alissa bubble dress drapes and gathers beautifully, $174 @ Shopbop.
