A simple white dress is my summer go-to item when I want to get ready for a date with my hubby, go out with the girls or have a business meeting. You can dress it up or down with sandals or heels, a blazer or a chambray shirt, jewelry or a simple headband.

This outfit is what I would wear shopping or to a coffee meeting. It's relaxed and yet put together. I also love this combination because the chambray shirt can easily come off and be worn around my waist when it's hot, but it's the perfect cover up with I'm in a cold air conditioned building.

The tiny white polka dots in this Shop and Apparel shirt really tie in the white dress. I added my white, vintage Dooney & Bourke bag and a colorful headband to pull it all together.
