a dress for ladies who lunch

I’ve always said you can never have too many white tops, but the same holds true for little white dresses. They are the perfect blank canvas for any outfit – you can literally pair white with any other color under the sun, and unless the silhouette is super trendy, it’s a piece you’ll wear year after year. Last week I shared my new white look from the Rachel Parcell collection, and this week I wanted to share this fresh pick from Rebecca Taylor. This simple fit-and-flare silhouette is generally what I gravitate towards – it draws attention to my waist and hides my hips. AKA the ideal dress shape for hourglass figures!

What makes this dress special though, is the sweet scalloped neckline. The details are so subtle, making it an understated option you could wear repeatedly. With it’s modest hem length, you can easily wear it to church this summer, luncheons, work events, etc. Give the look a punch of color with statement earrings and a fun clutch!
