If I were to Book a Trip…

Dress: Banana Republic (not the exact one – but this linked dress would go equally well); Shoes: Chloe Woody Flat Mule in Canvas; Purse: Gucci Disco Bag; Earrings: Bauble Bar (sold out, but very cute alternatives)

If I were to book a trip, I don’t even know where I would go. I have so many places that I need to explore. However, given that this is a white dress option with cute (not necessarily the most comfortable walking shoes), I would opt for what I would imagine to be a low-key, ultra glamorous trip to the South of France. I could envision a little sight-seeing, shopping, and a delicious lunch going well with this outfit.

The dress is very comfortable, and generally Banana Republic does not disappoint. It is a heavier material that would go better in cooler weather though. Following this advice would go against the whole not wearing white after Labor Day, so keep that in mind.

The purse is a staple for luxury purses. I told you that I splurge on purses. I love them. They have power! They can instantly elevate any outfit to the next level. This Gucci bag is casual and comes in a few colors. I seem to always gravitate toward black.

I bought the earrings from a sample sale. I have never bought from BaubleBar before mostly because the retail price is pretty high for fashion jewelry. But since this was a sample sale, I took the plunge. So far, I am very impressed. This is a unique look that might actually get me out of my usual stud earrings and into some other options. The jury is out whether I would pay more than a sale price for them in the future.

Quick note on the sandals. They are some of the cutest sandals I have seen. I love the design, very unique. However, the sizing is crazy. Make sure you size up! All of a sudden, I was ordering a size 9. I never ordered that size, EVER. Also, I have heard that these shoes are NOT made for walking. Blisters and cuts galore. These are meant for a casual low-key day. Also, I am learning where to buy luxury goods. It seems that boutiques rather than the brand’s store run better sales.

As a whole, I love how the white dress showcases all the accessories so well.

XOXO
