The classic white dress makes an instant style statement on this week’s post. I am also bringing you my featured looks from the 7th My Refined Style Fashion Over-40 Linkup. Also, make sure to sign up for the giveaway of a new pair of reading glasses from the Spring line of Readers.com.
Classic White Dress
When it comes to style, few things can compete with crisp white. This classic white dress has a traditional sheath cut; however, the quilted texture of the fabric adds instant visual interest.
The choice of jewelry and accessories is particularly important with the all-white color palette, because the eye is immediately drawn to them. For this outfit I chose classic black accessories, but I could have easily implemented brightly colored accessories.
I chose a hand-made, wooden necklace from Luang Prabang, Laos, a beaded Vietnamese clutch, an Ann Klein belt and sunglasses from readers.com.
I should mention one important consideration for wearing all-white…just as all-black visually slims the body, an all-white color palette can add visual width. In this case, consider adding a belt to better define the waist.
Spring Readers Giveaway
Last Thursday I ran a post on some new Spring readers from Readers.com. Make sure to sign up to win a pair!

really love the classic look. And the accessories as well. I have to admit that I rarely wear white because it gives the impression of extra width π
Hi Indah, you are right that white can add extra width. It’s important that we all know what works best on our bodies.
This dress is stunning on you and love how you styled it!
Thank you for being a part of TBT Fashion link up and hope to see you soon!

Thanks Melissa! Yes, I can see a lot of possibilities with that dress.
The white dress is so understated but I find it makes just as much of an impact as an LBD. I love how you have it accessorized and styled. Looking great! Would love if you can link up to http://the-wardrobe-stylist.com/2016/04/17/diy-brazilian-hair-extensions/
