It’s finally here, the last week of August, which mean no more white. I know that people are breaking this rule all the time and wearing white year round, which I respect, but we’re Southern and here it’s simply not done. So I thought I would get one more post in with my favorite white dress (seen here) before it’s too late. (Yes, I am using a dress as a skirt!) I’m in love with this outfit. It gives me a completely new look and shows how versital a fit and flare dress can be.
Dress: Banana Republic (no longer available similar here, here and here) // Shirt: Old Navy // Shoes: Banana Republic (similar here and here) // Clutch: Banana Republic (similar here, here, here and here) // Bracelets & Earrings: Kendra Scott // Necklace: fab’rik (old similar here)
I am so excited because we leave for the beach on Monday! It’s been forever since we have had a family vacation and we are desperate to get away for the week! I am hoping that the weather cooperates and that we can survive a 6 hour car ride with a 19mo old!
I hope you will enjoy your vacation! Love your outfit. I wear white in winter… not the normal thing to do in Greece either but I like to be different. ๐

That's such a ute look that I had to pin it! I love wearing dresses as skirts. It gives you so many more options with your pieces! So cute girl!
I love how this outfit comes together…I'm obsessed with all things stripes.
You look gorgeous. Love this look. Great look to sneak in before Labor Day!

I love this classic and timeless black and white combo! So fresh and crisp! That bright green clutch is the perfect pop of color! I hear you re long car rides with little ones. We have four and we trek down to Hilton Head every year. All I can say is pack snacks and toys strategically and don't forget an extensive DVD collection! Have a great trip ๐

Lovely! I love wearing dresses as skirts; I feel like it doubles my wardrobe! I totally agree with no white after labor day, I just can't do it!
Very cute! Layering a top over a fit and flare dress can be a really hard look to pull off (at least when I try it), but it looks great the way you did it! These pieces really work well for this kind of layering!
I love this trick! Using a dress as a skirt is making a two outfits out of one. Love it! Thanks for linking up with Caitlin and I for The Lovely Lookbook!
Such a great layering! I though it was a dress at first. I always stay away from wide stripes, but you made it work girl! Such a beautiful look!

I linked up a fit and flare dress too! Thanks for the inspiration! I will definitely be layering a top over mine for the cooler weather! Your wedges are really cute!
A very beautiful outfit. I love the simple sophistication of the outfit.
