Your New Best Friend: The LWS (Little White Shirt)

“Gosh, I have so enjoyed this and feel like you have helped me sooo much. I feel like you have helped me get my confidence back at a time I really needed it. I also feel like a gained a really cool, fashionable frien (46).png

It’s time for white statement blouses! With the heat ratcheting up full blast, I thought it’d be the perfect moment to talk about a summer basic that you can transition perfectly into the fall. 

We’re at that point in the summer where you step outside and feel your makeup sweating off. When you hop back into the car from shopping for groceries, you just about pass out from the car being 150 degrees inside.

It’s so hot that you just don’t know what to wear!!!

Enter... the statement white blouse. 

The statement white blouse is your solution to your summer heat woes AND it will flawlessly transition into your fall fashion (who else cannot wait for THAT?!?!?!).

A white statement blouse is … a white blouse that has dramatic details to it. It could be anything from a ruffled neckline, covered buttons down the back, balloon sleeves, or pearl embellishments. There is something about it that makes it POP. It might even be a top you’d be more hesitant to try. But heck… why not try it now!?

Here’s why the white statement blouse is perfect for you, right here right now:

  1. It needs little accessorizing because the beauty and personality is in the blouse (keep it simple!). Less stuff on you = the cooler you are.

  2. It reflects the sun the best.

  3. White fabric typically has a lighter ink or dye on it, which is often what will make a top hotter or cooler. (Have you ever noticed how two of the same shirts in different colors feel different? It’s the ink/dye!)

  4. It’s downright CHIC with a classic blue jean.

  5. You can transition it easily into the fall fashion season with a cozy cardigan, camel blazeror olive utility jacket, and ankle booties.

A white statement blouse is one of my favorite pieces in my closet. I’d be happy wearing it every day. So, I of course couldn’t leave you without a few recommendations. Happy shopping!


Hope this perks up your summer style and keeps you feeling -- and looking -- cool!
