So, we are accomplishing a TON with this little white dress and I’m going to list out a few reasons why you NEED this in your closet immediately.

We’re currently in the middle of festival season, so if you’re heading off to Coachella, Boston Calling, Govenors Ball, CMA Fest, Lallapalooza or Outside Lands, I would highly recommend scooping up this little number to pack with you!  The lightweight material makes this the perfect outside summer dress and the crochet lace detail is beyond!  I actually wore this dress a few times already including once with my military jacket and my suede ankle boots and knew it would be the perfect festival-chic look!

If you’re a bride-to-be, this is a necessity!  I was all about having a few statement dresses for my bridal shower, my bachelorette weekend and our rehearsal dinner.  But for the honeymoon, it’s so fun to stock up on these breezy white dresses that can be worn day or night.

It’s the perfect summer dress!  Every girl should have a little white lace dress in their closet.  They are timeless and there are always so many easy ways to style them.  They are also a great layering piece and transition perfectly into fall with a leather jacket or chunky cardigan sweater.  And if you find yourself needing a little inspiration, make sure to check out how I’ve styled them over the years here, here, and here!

I have to be honest, these Steve Madden fringe sandals were something I was forcing myself to try to pass on.  Do I need another pair of fringe heels in my closet?  I actually jumped on buying a similar style last year and only wore them a handful of times (although I loved them so much), so I was hesitant on jumping the gun again.  Let me tell you.  I am so happy I did.  Sometimes, you just get something that you know you will wear every chance you get, and these are them.  Unlike the Fringly style from last year, these are a little less bulky, so they actually look great with jeans as well, which is what I wore them with over the weekend for date night.  They are the perfect statement shoe, tons of details (from the fringe, to the lace-up tassels), but are also subtle enough not to overpower the outfit.  I have a very big feeling that these are going to sell out… I’m labeling them the “it” shoe of the summer right now.  Nordstrom is currently price matching them and sizes are selling out left and right.  If you missed this sale, you can still get them here.  If you’re on the verge of wedding season (like us), these are perfect!  And if you’re worried they won’t be comfortable… don’t be.  I think Steve Madden makes some of the most comfortable, sturdy heels out there, and I’m happy to trade in my designer pairs any day.

Speaking of another “it” piece, I featured this off-the-shoulder chambray top in Monday’s blog post and have another spring look coming to you tomorrow with this Self Portrait lace top I’ve worn on the blog here and here.  Make sure to stop by!
