It’s the summer (well, almost!). I know it doesn’t usually really feel like summer until school is out. For my boys, the last day of pre-school was June 5th… and since then I have been in complete summer dress mode. And if you’re from New England, you know it has only been in the 60’s and 70’s lately… a FAR cry from summer weather.

Nonetheless.

I wanted to give some advice today regarding the Little Black Dress, otherwise known as the LBD. I’ve said it here before, and you’ll read this everywhere, that one staple piece every woman should have in their closets is a LBD. It doesn’t matter what material it is… what style it is… or how long you’ve had it. If it works for you, and makes you feel good, and can be worn in a “jiffy,” it’s doing its purpose.

But right now, with the summer upon us, change it up a bit. Go for a Little White Dress, otherwise known as the LWD.

Put a new twist on the idea of an LBD with a brighter color – a crisp, white summer dress. It can be a tank style, sleeveless, spaghetti straps, halter, maxi – long or short – but it gives such a fresh look to your wardrobe for the summer. It’s a great addition. Plus, there are some LWDs with beautiful embroidery or lace designs or gauze fabric that beautify the basic LWD.

So go for a little different style this summer. There’s nothing like a LBD – and now, a LWD.
