Moody Picks: The Little White Dress

The little black dress will always be the number one fashion staple in your wardrobe, but over the next few weeks, the spotlight will shine bright on its super stylish sister, the little white dress or LWD.  The LWD is simple, clean, and fresh and it flatters just about every skin tone.  You can never go wrong with a LWD because it’s a look that never goes out of style.  This look is a perfect option for a graduation party as much as it is for a backyard barbeque. You can also pair it with colorful, metallic or nude accessories to allow the dress and the accessories to stand out.  

Have you found your white dress for summer yet?  Well, don’t fret cause I’m here to help!  There are so many amazing styles out there, so you shouldn’t have trouble finding the right one to flatter your figure.  Here are some of my favorite budget-friendly LWD options for Summer 2016.  And all of these dresses are under $150.

Moody Style: Pink Off-The-Shoulder

Lately, I've been trying to make a real effort to resist buying so many off-the-shoulder tops.  So far this month I’ve added 5 new ones to my closet (like these here and here).  Technically, I don’t need any of them, but they are the perfect style for the upcoming Florida summer heat.  So don’t be surprised to see more off-the-shoulder tops in my future blog and IG posts because I’m just obsessed with this trend.    

As soon as I saw this pink off-the-shoulder blouse, I knew I had to have it.  The ruffles and slightly puffy sleeves are just darling and the pink and red contrast is a perfect compliment.  But my absolute favorite part is the rich floral embroidery along the neckline and on the sleeves.  The unique and vibrant floral design really added a true bohemian vibe, which makes an effortless statement.

This blouse is also pretty versatile that it can be dressed up or down with a pair of skinny or wide leg jeans or a pencil skirt.  And even though I don't love to wear shorts, this top will work perfectly with a pair of distressed denim shorts in the coming weeks.
