Lace Dress + Army Vest

I’m not going to preach about how you can wear white after Labor Day. By this point, I’m hoping we’re all on the same page! However, there are definitely some tips & tricks for making your whites seem a bit less summery.

My best tip? Army green. A military-inspired jacket or vest is a great juxtaposition against a delicate white fabric! Add some leopard print and you’re set.
