Style Inspiration: Calico

I've always been a fan of white dresses in the summer but rarely wear them (hello pit stains and dog paws). I ran across the Calico lookbook recently posted on N.E.E.T. and had to post this pretty white dress + socks + heels look.  Of course, I'd need to add a slip under that dress because I don't look as cute as the model showing off my granny panties :)







































Calico has a great selection of vintage and new items. I have my eye on this sweet pink vintage dress in case I can't find the perfect white one...

Your right about the dogs and pit stains! I opt for white pants instead only to end up scrubbing away any way.

I'm all about the chicness of a white ...a great white trouser can dress up any t-shirt. And, a white dress, worn during the summer or anytime really, evokes simple, effortless elegance.

I love the white for summer. The granny panties, not so much. I'd opt for a pretty vintage slip. The pink dress is really cute too.

This white one is so pretty, but I do agree - leave the exposed undies to the models? That's the kind of thing magazines have in the editorial AND in the do-not-do section. Mixed messages. But the dress itself is ADORABLE and would look so cute on you!

Hi There!

Thanks for linking to us!

I, personally, LOVE the look of granny panties layered with a sheer vintage dress--a la Carrie in Sex and The City! And I don't think you need a perfect bod to pull it off!

A lil' slip is cute, too, though. I guess ;)
