You Need A White Dress This Spring & Summer

{ Via Anthropologie }

Vogue tells us that the White Dress is the one dress you need for Spring and Summer. They were all over the runways this season. So, since I don't own a white dress, this post is personal for me. I think I found a favorite. What's yours?

This maxi is iron free and naturally textured. It's the base layer that is cotton cheese cloth. That means it is not see-thru! Under $300.
