Outfits Under $100: Little White Dresses

The Little White Dress is the summery sister of the Little Black Dress: It’s versatile, matches everything, and can be worn day or night. Like your favorite LBD, a LWD is a great neutral foundation upon which you can build a fabulous outfit accented with bold accessories or colorful footwear. Here are three ways to rock a white frock — on a budget:
Outfit #1: Boho by Day
Throwing on a white sundress is fast and easy — it’s an ideal option for laid-back summer days. Because white is so neutral, it serves as a great base to show off a bold statement necklace and metallic sandals.
Product Information: Dress- Forever 21, Necklace- Fred Flare, Sandals- Forever 21
Outfit #2: Sunday Brunch
Look prim and proper for Sunday brunch with your parents in a Little White Dress. Find one with a more structured fit in a ladylike material, like lace. Add some dainty accessories and feminine heels to complete the look.
Product Information: Dress- Forever 21, Pearl Necklace- Walmart, Headband- Forever 21, Ring- Forever 21, Heels- Payless
Outfit #3: Girls Night Out
Like a LBD, a LWD is perfect for a night out on the town — you just need to find one that is a little more fitted and sexy. Add sky-high stilettos and glitzy accessories to be the most glam girl in the club.
Product Information: Dress- Lulu*s, Clutch- Target, Earrings- Forever 21, Heels- Charlotte Russe

I love #2′s shoes!!! Yummy!
I like eyelet w/the LWD… especially with lots of cut-outs. Feminine and a bit daring, too.
Great stuff.

I love the dresses you included. Each one is very different, yet style a stylish LWD. The styling and accessories are great too. Great job!

I’m sorry the link for the brunch dress no longer works — it must have sold out within just the last day or so! Here are some similar dresses that can be styled the same way:
