I really should have titled this “Yes, I want to be just like you”.
That’s exactly how I felt and exactly what I decided to do when I was out shopping with my daughter a few weeks ago. She had grabbed this dress to try on at anthro and I seriously wouldn’t have given it a second glance on the hanger, but as soon as she tried it on, I immediately responded with “I want to be just like you”.
It had all the bullet points for the perfect summer dress . . .
*sleeves, which I prefer . . .
*a fun length (not too short and not too long) . . .
*and it was all white . . .
*just a nice, refreshing summer white dress.
This is my grown-up version of how I styled it, complete with my handmade bonnet I purchased a few years back in Italy.
So are you still enjoying some summer whites? Love to hear and see about it.
As always my friends, thanks for dropping by. Have a most wonderful day.

I can’t wait to check out your summer whites, I have no doubt they will be wonderful.
I posted it already, it is on Monday’s blog post right before TH Tuesday. Would love your thoughts. It is titled All White for Summer. 🙂 x
Whites are so refreshing for summer. This is really a unique piece. Love the hat!

Thank you, did you notice it at your anthro? I seriously would have just passed by being on a hanger.
You both look adorable. I love white dresses and this one is different from the usual stuff. Different in a good unique way. Love it with the hat. The handbag I have seen before and it is so nice.
(I am going to leave some space in my suitcase, for when we hit Anthropologie…)

Yes, you should, you will love that store.
I like to see you dressed all in white, I love the all white in the so feminine looks. I love the simplicity of your dress, so basic, so simple, so beautiful. The neck is cute, and the outfit with hat, too.
Hi Trina, I gave up on much white years ago for some reason I am a target for food, ink, well you name it. I do have a few white blouses though and wear them when the grands are not with me. lol Love you ourfit, it is stunning on you. XO Jo
I have such a hard time believing that in you, you are such a lady-like gal. But I can relate because my husband is the same way, no matter how careful he tends to be. Also hear you with white and grands, mine will not be paying a visit once Miss Molly arrives. Once my family leaves, I’m having you over for lunch, sound good?
Very pretty white summer dress and even better since it has pockets!

Would love to see you Thursday for TBT Fashion link up.
Oh, yes, gotta love having pockets, right?
Love this dress on you both! It is so sophisticated, too, and I agree, a dress with sleeves os a bonus ! You two are so pretty and resemble one another so strongly- Lucky!!! ( both of you)
Love the hat too, and necklace , of course!

Thank you, you cute lady. I’m trying to remember if I’ve seen you with your daughter or not. Remind me . . .
Absolutely, I enjoy Summer whites so very much and if I can find a Summer dress with sleeves all the better!
You and your daughter are both beautiful ladies!
Hugs,
Jemma
Oh thank you so much Jemma, you are so kind.
I commented yesterday. Just to reiterate, White Rules!
Thank you for linking up with Turning Heads Tuesday

I am seriously going to miss white this year, maybe for the very first time! I had a huge weight loss during the last 3 years (via good nutrition and fitness) and my style changed as my body changed! Suddenly, white is something I’m drawn to (that and blue, go figure). And this year, despite being southern (where rules still matter too much too often), I intend to ignore the rules. It can be “shorts weather” here until Halloween, the wine’s will just have to wait for Thanksgiving! Thanks for your take on it, lovely 🙂
Yay for you and your weight loss during the past three years. I’m a die hard fan of good nutrition and fitness. Can’t wait to see your shorts unitl Halloween, haha.
