Lounge comfortably at the pool with a fabulous towel. The Round Up the Crew Beach Towel at ModCloth is fashionable and unique. How often do you come across a round towel?! Yeah, that’s what I thought, not very often. This stunner features a chic boho blue print with tassel hem. Prepare for the compliments to roll in…

There is nothing more refreshing than an ice cold beverage after soaking up the sun poolside.

This trio includes three mini inflatables shaped like a watermelon, pineapple, and lime.

A day at the pool is incomplete without a fabulous swimsuit coverup. The Rose Red Flounce Hem Fringe Backless Shift Dress will fill the void without breaking the bank.

Color

It’s not fair to generalize when discussing white garments. Just like any other color, there are slight variations in shades of white. Think about your complexion and choose a contrasting hue. If you have fair skin, go for an off-white or ivory. If you’re tan, the whiter the better.

Silhouette

The shape of the garment is an important factor to consider when you’re working with white. If you have an hourglass figure, avoid shapeless dresses. Instead, gravitate towards dresses that accentuate your upper or lower half. If you’re pear shaped, consider an off the shoulder neckline and an a-line skirt. For rectangular shaped figures, create feminine lines with a halter neckline or fitted bodice.

Length

The length of the dress sets the tone for the occasion. Think of a bride stunning her guests as she walks down the aisle in a floor length gown. Well, a mini dress is flirty and fun, and appropriate for a summer night soirée. A midi length dress is chic and elegant, suitable for a daytime affair.

The featured dress, courtesy of Current Clothing, is flattering for an athletic or shapely frame. The v-neck and fitted bodice will accentuate your goods in all the right places, and the short length allows for a lot of leg action.

Carefully consider the color, the silhouette, and the length when shopping for your next little white dress. In the meantime, find this dress at Current Clothing (text 415-980-4772 to order), or shop my spring favorites and cutout shoes below:

I used to think full skirts were cute, but not for me. I had the same opinion about midi length skirts until I met the perfect pink dress last year. Anyway, after trying a black one on during my Louisiana tour, I have a new found appreciation for them.

There are a couple of factors to consider before committing to a circle skirt. The first being the color. If you have a baby shower or ladies luncheon on the calendar, I suggest a floral or pastel – something cheery. If you have a business gathering to attend, stick to basic black.

Speaking of business, when it’s the right length, a full skirt is acceptable work attire. Go for a midi length and you will get two for the price of one! I styled this black beauty for a night on the town with a fitted white tank and strappy green sandals. Had I been attending a work meeting, I would have paired it with a tailored bodysuit.

I accessorized with dainty feminine jewels, including a pair of blue rhinestone earrings, and polished off the look with a black and white snakeskin clutch. What do you think? Will you be adding a circle skirt to your Spring 2016 it list?!

You all know by now that I love a versatile piece. The Fancy a Fringe black sequin clutch from lulus sure is one of ’em. This envelope clutch emits boho vibes with a twist. Featuring woven black and brown fabric embellished in sequins, the tassel trim is the icing on the cake. Wishing I had had this for yesterday’s little black dress!

I love this macramé hobo because it can double as a beach bag. With a trip to Hawaii two weeks away, I’ve got all things BEACH on my mind! Picture this black and white beauty with your cool festival wear, or over your shoulder with a black bathing suit. Target never fails at providing us high fashion products at a low cost.
