Summer represents another opportunity for a clean slate and a fresh start- especially when it comes to updating your style and your wardrobe. Therefore, MDW marks the official kick-off for the LWD (Little White Dress for those of you less than fabulous fashionistas out there)!

-And nothing says clean and fresh like a perfect fitting white dress.

Light and airy fabrics are key to pulling off this look, but often times also extremely unforgiving. It is really important to create the right balance between structure and femininity. Every summer goddess wants to make sure all of the elements come together in order to turn heads on the sands or show stop in the streets!

Although you can carry this look from day to night, accessories and other features are what truly drive the white dresses appeal. From beach cover-ups, to BBQ sundresses, or even those dreaded white pants we all keep buried in our closets at our vain attempt to dream, we must always make sure our body and skin is wearable for white!

Body

It is no secret that warm weather and heat makes women want to bear all regardless, so most likely we have put our best foot forward at getting our body “bikini ready”- but white offers a whole new level of insecurity that we need to conquer and overcome. Whenever going for the ultimate white look, body sculpting is your friend. With nothing being left to the imagination, there are plenty of non-invasive treatments to smooth out ripples in the skin and carve your ideal silhouette for fitting in your unsympathetic white lace, textures and other fibers.

Skin

Bronzed, sun-kissed skin is an absolute necessity to really make the white pop! Although beauty comes in every shade, it is important for everyone’s skin to reach a natural looking, healthy glow. Peak summer season you will probably arrive as close to flawlessness as possible, but until then there are a wide range and variety of products available to accelerate your tan and complete the overall aesthetic.

Teeth

When you are wearing white this draws attention to other aspects of your appearance- like a less than stellar smile! A superior smile is often the best accessory for any white outfit. The purity of the dress against your luminous skin will reflect poorly if your teeth do not match as close to the white as possible. At-home whitening kits are an essential must have to increase the brightness and shine of your pearly whites!

A Bold Lip

Any burst of color is going to stand out with a flirty, white backdrop! Why not have fun? Choose from a quality assortment for a mix of color exclusive to just you. This can be your go-to pout or make-up trick that separates you from every other leading lady and style icon. Red, pinks, purples are all the rage to give your white dress a splash! Same rules apply for your nails. It’s playtime.

A Comfy Heel/Wedge/Sandal

A comfortable stiletto? Is that any oxymoron? Well, it doesn’t have to be. It is often encouraged to make your shoes the center of your outfit- even if you want your white dress to be optimized. Your pumps can be the statement piece you are looking for…- but how long can you last in them?

No matter what color or style you are selecting, if you cannot strut in them adequately and easily the entire look will crumble. People will notice your displeasure and discomfort. A big fashion faux pas…

Pillows for Your Feet is an entire line dedicated to your beautiful feet and ensuring you look and feeling like your walking on a cloud.

With these secrets revealed, you are ready to show your charms and attack the fashion police in any little white dress in your closet.
