5 Ways to Amp Up Your Little White Dress with Victorian-Inspired Accessories
1/6As we head into the final stretch of the season, we're always on the hunt for new ways to wear our favorite warm-weather ensembles. These last few sunny days and balmy nights call for a lighter-than-air dress code, and the classic white dress is always a go-to piece for staying and looking cool.
Rather than pairing your bright white dress with bohemian accessories, we're looking to the fall runways as our inspiration and wearing our LWD with the coolest accessories that exude a sense of Victorian appeal. Think ultra-feminine broderie anglaise dresses paired with lace-up booties, straw hats, and retro sunnies for a fashion-forward hint of nostalgia. Click through for five ways to style your LWD for the last days of summer and straight into the fall.
