"LWD"...UPDATE YOUR YOUR BLACK DRESS WITH WHITE!

Women's go to staple in their closet is the Little Black Dress.   Update your look for spring and summer with a Little White Dress.  This is a crisp, fresh take of that trend.  Wear it to the office and take command.  This looks sharp when staying with all white--white heels, white jewelry, etc.  Try mixing it with metals, such as gunmetal gray, copper, and nickel.  White dresses pop when paired with a neutral black and white bag/heels or go bold with a bright colored shoe/bag combination.  Kelly green, turquoise, sapphire blue and yellow are hot trends to try.  Textured fabric brightens up a look.  Try linen, lace, or woven fabrics.
