Summer's Blank Slate: The Little White Dress

{ Via: Harpers Bazaar }

According to Harper's Bazaar, one of best fashion trends of Summer 2019 is the LWD. Not all of us could or would wear model Nina Agdal's peek-a-boo number above, but it is quite the look.  No worries,  I have found some pretty options for the rest of us to consider. A white dress can take you almost anywhere, except for a wedding. I don't own one, but after this shopping excursion, I want one. This edit features white dresses for every budget beginning at $80.

Ruffles and lace create one of the prettiest dresses of the season. I just love it!
