Day to Night: LWD



I could easily argue that a little white dress is a summer staple and yet my closet was lacking that perfect style that could be dressed up or down.  Then I was introduced to Tailor and Stylist and I came across this gem.  The lightweight fabric is ideal for summer and I love the mix of hard and soft (feminine pleats + faux leather straps).  I decided to share two different ways to wear my new favorite LWD to show how to seamlessly transition this piece from day to evening!  If you’re having a hard time finding that just-right style, you can always rent a designer dress.



What I’m wearing:
c/o Tailor & Stylist dress (here), Rubbish jacket (similar here, here or here), Mango booties (similar here or here) & bag (similar), Gorjana necklace c/o Lilac Bijoux (here), c/o Stella & Dot ring (here), Bracelets: Vintage & Forever 21 (here), Simply Vera Vera Wang aviators (similar), Lips: L’Oreal Colour Riche Fairest Nude


What I’m wearing:

c/o Tailor & Stylist dress (here), Guess heels c/o TJ Maxx (similar here or here), Zara clutch (similar), Forever 21 necklace (similar), Target cuff (similar), Eyes: Almay Intense I-Color Eyeshadow

    I'm loving both of these looks, but my favorite is the nighttime look because it showcases the beautiful leather details of the dress. It's such a beautiful piece of clothing, kind of reminds me of a Greek Goddess dress 🙂

    I love this dress on you and that you showed 2 looks in one post. The leather straps are a great contrast to the flowy material. It's so flattering on you.

    If you get a sec, check out my latest post Dazzling in Silver'. Thank you.

    Kisses,

    That dress is so pretty! Such unique details with the leather straps & buckles! I love the ways you styled it, it looks so cute un-belted for the casual look! Super cute styling, lady!

    oh my gosh, this dress is AMAZING! I love the faux leather straps and the back details! Love the transition from day to night too 🙂

    The leather straps are amazing! I love that they are brown leather and not black as I think black would makes it look a bit too bondage.

    Both ways of styling are so cute but I'm particularly drawn to the 'evening' style.

    Wow, the leather on that dress is so unexpected but beautiful! I love how you dressed it up and down, you have a wonderful knack for that!

    Just discovered your blog recently from Glitter Guide and love your fresh and affordable approach! Agree with all the above comments- dress is divine and I, too, ordered it immediately. Question- did you just rotate the belt around backwards? It looks skinnier than the online catalog pics so just curious if you replaced it? 🙂
    Thanks!

    Hi Hillary,

    Thank you so much – I'm happy to have you as a new reader! Yes, I rotated the belt around and tied it in the back instead of the side or front (which you could also do). Hope you enjoy your new dress!

    xo,
