wearing white before memorial day #2 / look for less

although the dress was WAY. TOO. SHORT., i loved the way kelly bensimon looked in her white lace dress during a recent episode of real housewives of new york city. i scoured the interwebs to find who the designer - to no avail - so i decided to find a version for regular girls like us.

you can totally rock a white dress any time of the year as long as it's accessorized properly. just pair with some dark colored heels and bag and you're good to go!

below: laundry by shelli segal bell sleeve eyelet shift dress, $195, nordstrom.com. i actually tried it on this past weekend and it's SO. CUTE. the elasticized cuffs are a nice touch.
