White is definitely the color of summer–it’s crisp, fresh and cool. But how can we show off our personalities among many white ensembles? Well, get some inspiration from the stylish ladies I featured today.

I can’t think of a reason not to wear maxi dresses. Some petites friends may think maxi dress will swallow their figures. But trust me (I’m also a petite), by adding a belt to cinch the waist  and slipping on a pair of sky-high platform sandals or heeled booties, a maxi dress with lightweight material(which lets the dress fall softly over our body), sleek design (which won’t drew attention to our bottom half) and the right length (which almost graze the floor), you will look even more sexy and elegant than you are in your favorite minis.

From Leather Pants to Maxi Dress: Give Your White Shirt A Chic Twist

I’m always in the market for high quality and great tailored basics, like blazer, white shirt, trench coat, black skinny jeans, leather work bag… They are the foundation of my wardrobe and I’m willing to pay for the best quality I can afford.

So I was so excited when I scored this EQUIPMENT Signature Blouse at half the price via Moda Operandi.  I have shopped at this site since last year. They have great deals on the latest runway looks and awesome custom service.

This shirt has everything I wanted: 100% silk, cute front pockets, casual vibe and perfect size. I cannot wait to pair it with the red Rag & Bone high waist skinny jeans that I pre-ordered several months ago. Both of them will arrive in July. I will definitely share them with you.

Reminded by my newest shirt, I decided to do this featured post as part of my “white essential pieces” series. (Check other related posts here and here.)

It’s Audrey Hepburn who made me fell in love with white shirts. Who doesn’t like the photo below?  Of course <Mad Men> helps a lot too (you know what I mean). Menswear can always give women a sexy twist, let alone the crisp fresh color.
