For Less Friday – The Stunning White Dress You’ll Wear On Repeat This Spring

White Midi Dress For Less

Is the weather starting to warm up where you live? In Telluride, CO, Erin is still elbow-deep in a blanket of snow. But, she and Chris recently sought out some warmth on a trip to beautiful Moab, Utah where blue skies and sunshine were a-plenty. Packed in her bag was a beautiful eyelet white midi dress…the details of which are stunning! We knew this would be the perfect dress to highlight in today’s For Less Friday post. Let’s dig in.

You can go back and see all of our For Less Friday posts where we recreate some fabulous designer looks for less….here.

Waimari White Midi Dress For Less

A pretty white dress for spring and summer is a versatile wardrobe basic that can take you to SO many different occasions, from casual to dressy. The eyelet details and scalloped hem on the Waimari dress are truly stunning. And the thick ruched panel at the waist is SO slimming! It’s a really special piece. So, we knew we’d have to find something realllllly beautiful to compare it to for our for-less option. Remember…we want to focus on quality!

On the right is a 100% cotton, ASTR The Label midi dress with so many similar features. The puff sleeve, scalloped hem, and cinched waist are right on par with the Waimari dress. It also has a flattering sweetheart neckline with minimal ruching at the bust. Depending on your accessory choices you can really dress this up or down. Try a more casual wedge like Erin is wearing in the graphic above, strappy sandals, tall brown boots or booties, white sneakers, or flat slip-on sandals. You can also add a blazer, leather moto, or denim jacket to switch up your look and add a little more warmth. This would be an excellent warm-weather vacation dress! A midi-length dress with sleeves is a great piece to have in your closet…especially if you feel more comfortable with a little extra coverage on your arms or legs.

See By Chloe Wedges For Less

The See by Chloe wedges on the left are a warm-weather go-to for Erin. Their comfy, easy to walk in (the ankle strap offers some security), and pair with SO many different outfits. On the right, we found some beautiful leather Vince Camuto wedges with the same adjustable ankle strap in a similar neutral taupe shade. The heel is 3 ÂĽ inches and the platform is just under an inch. A platform wedge is a great spring/summer (and even sometimes fall!) staple. These come in 3 colors too. If you plan to wear them with shorts or dresses…wearing a color that closely matches your skin tone will really elongate your legs.

Ulla Johnson Necklace For Less

The Ulla Johnson choker necklace Erin is wearing is really a statement piece! The one on the right is by Anthropologie and has similar gold leaf details, is also a choker style and is gold-plated. And, a pretty darn great look-a-like! We picture this with everything from dresses to a t-shirt and shorts. No need to save a beautiful piece like this for a special occasion!

Gucci Sunglasses for Less

There’s nothing like an oversized pair of sunnies to not only protect your peepers but also give your outfit a glam look. The Gucci sunglasses on the left and Rad + Refined option on the right are both 54 mm and offer 100% UV protection. We love the round shape which is super on-trend right now. When you’re running out the door, a pair of chic sunglasses is extra perfect for those no-makeup days!
