My Favorite Summer Dress is Back in Stock!
Look what’s back in stock! My favorite white dress for summer! (I featured it this past fall in shades of teal — story here.) The styling above is a miss, but the dress itself is a knock-out.
THIS is the dress I wore while running errands and received a text from an ex-beau: he had seen me out-and-about, thought I looked gorgeous, and THEN realized it was me. Now, THAT is a good dress!
The one currently available is called off-white, but is definitely not cream. It is fully lined, extremely flattering, and the PERFECT easy-breezy white beach dress that doesn’t look like a bridal gown. I love the forgiving elastic waist band and think the lace is very strategically placed to provide an elevated look.
It’s so versatile, too: I’ve worn it with my Tory Burch Miller gold sandals, bold gold necklace, and over-the-top earrings. Of course, you can dress it down by throwing on simple sandals and gold hoops.
In addition to white, Altar’d State is also offering this versatile dress ($79.95) in lilac for spring. Altar’d State is currently offering a buy one dress, get the second one 50% off. So I bought my favorite summer dress in lilac, too, for under $40!
Blush and lilac are one of the biggest trends for spring of 2018. In fact, I can’t wait to pair this gorgeous lilac dress with one of my latest acquisitions, the sold out Justyne Earrings in blush by Kendra Scott (featured in this story).
(I stumbled upon 2 pairs upstairs at Neiman Marcus in Austin. I knew I had struck proverbial gold since the blush pair is completely sold out at Kendra Scott stores and online. I quickly grabbed one of the pairs! By the way, Neiman Marcus still has them available.)
Other style ideas for the lilac dress:
~ Simple gold, bronze, or silver hoop earrings
~A hint of glam hoop
~ Something sparkly by Sorrelli Jewelry
~My go-to sandals
This dress truly is stunning in person! It’s so easy to wear and looks very chic. The off-white is guaranteed to sell out, so I would grab it quickly while it’s in stock!
Note: it can be washed in the gentle cycle on cold (of course check your machine instructions to be sure) then hung-dry. I noticed that my dress shrunk slightly cleaning it this way, but it had just enough room that I could get away with it. No dry cleaning bills!
One of my only complaints about this dress is that it is not available in plus sizes! I will keep an eye out for some amazing summer dresses for all sizes for a future story!
As always: you deserve to look polished or feminine or stunning or gorgeous at any age, any size, and any budget!
