So wearing all white isn't the same as wearing all black. Black is slimming, white is telling. You have to be feeling pretty confident in yourself to go that way; at least I do. Usually, I go for my lace-overlay because I can get away with more, but there's something about this dress that I keep coming back to. Probably my 110 in the Shade phase. I may or may not have looked for a dress exactly like this one after watching my university theater department perform said musical about 10 years ago.
But I digress.
I will admit, I always feel a bit dangerous when I wear white, if only because I know I'm a terrible klutz and will probably spill something down the front. That would be especially bad with this particular dress because it's linen: dry-clean-only. For those wondering, I was a dumb kid when I bought this dress; I didn't know the heartache that came with a dry-clean-only dress. Or that it would start to yellow if left in storage too long.
That was a pain in my wallet.
About the Look
The dress is Jones New York from (probably) Ross. I bought it, as I said, about 10 years ago after a bout of emotional empathy with Lizzy Curry. I don't remember how much it was other than it was less than $20. I know this because I went on a shopping spree when I found out that my dad couldn't see my credit card transactions, and this dress was the last one I found before I maxed out ^ - ^;
The hat, pearls, and shoes have all appeared in this blog before - Burlington, gift from Daddy, DSW - but I can't remember if the purse has. It's a Tommy Hilfiger from Burlington; $25, but I loved the color-blocking, so I splurged. The belt was $12 from Amazon and will never appear again because I have since replaced it with a white buckle belt :) I also got a red and black buckle belt on the same order; expect to be seeing those around too!
Ps. Have I mentioned how much I hate the angle in this picture?
