White Dress with Brights for the Ageless Link Up

July 18, 2024 /

This month, the Ageless Link Up ladies are showcase white dresses or skirts with bright colors! I decided to share a dress I showcased a couple years ago, this thrifted Crown and Ivy eyelet dress. When I looked up my post, I was surprised to see that I had shared it for an Ageless Link Up too! Here is the post, where I paired it with yellow and pink. Today, I am sharing with multicolored wedges and a scarf I brought back from the Republic of Georgia.

I actually bought the pink ball earrings specifically for this post. I used to have a pair of pink and orange ones which finally unraveled last year. The bracelet is also second hand, I bought it at an estate sale.

I keep this little zippered pouch in my purse, I have a little first aid kit in it, my keys and a few other small items. It makes it a little easier to find things in my summer totes. The close up of the scarf shows you the pretty butterflies on it. I bought it at a flea market for about $12.

I love the length of this dress: it makes it appropriate for church (which is when I wore it) and the eyelet is the perfect summer fabric. I still can’t believe that most of my dresses are thrifted: I really should pull them all out and actually count which are not. I love their originality and that I buy them because I love them, not because I love them on someone else (which often leads me to bad buying decisions).

Another thing I cannot believe is that my son is starting college in exactly a month! I am very proud of him for his success in high school and I hope that he mixes in some fun with all of the studying he will be doing at Georgia Tech. He plans to join the swim club and is rooming with one of his high school buddies. He is planning to major in bio-medical engineering, but only probably has a semester to confirm or change that major since he already has most of his general Ed classes credit. He has enough AP credits to start as a Sophomore.

School is starting August 1st for my other 3 boys. We enjoyed summer and we will enjoy school too! As usual, I have all of these ideas for fun school lunches, but we will quickly revert to sandwiches and packaged snacks.

Do you have a white dress or white skirt? I have another white dress (which I just donated) and a white overlay “dress” as well as a white cargo skirt. I used to have a white peasant skirt that I loved but never found one to replace it with.

    That’s very pretty Mireille. I don’t see many white dresses out and about in the UK and I think that’s to do with our weather and the fear of getting the white dirty. But I do have a white skirt which I will wear on a cruise I’m going on soon.

    I can’t believe you’ve got a child old enough to go to college!

    I love all your pretty bright touches paired with the white dress. That is really exciting that your son has enough AP credits to start his Freshman year as a Sophmore! Best of luck to him! Alec’s school only offered 2 classes his senior year so he’s a long way to go before he reaches Sophmore status. I’m also kind of relieved to know your son is still considered a Freshman as I think Evan will have lots of transfer credits also by the time he’s ready to start college but he really is worried about missing out on all the Freshman orientation and first year things if he earns too many.

    You know that I’m in love with the brights, especially those sandals. The fun colors really pop against that fabulous dress.

      Thanks, Rosemary! I don’t wear the dress often but I do love it and I don’t think it will ever go out of style.

    First of, I love this dress. It’s a classic and the eyelet is so pretty. BIG fan over here. I like how you used a printed scarft as a shawl, adding a pop of color but still keeping is classy. Also, those dangling earrings are so good. Really like this and I would hold on to it for years and years because it’s just classic. Second, congratulations to your son! An exciting time and transition for all of you. Will he be attending some close by? Living at home? We will be in this same boat next fall. Time sure flies.

      He is going to live on campus, it is 45 min from home if there is no traffic but it is in Atlanta which would mean traffic most days and lots of it! Loving my souvenir and I am sure I will wear it often this fall and winter.

    The white looks fabulous with those colorful sandals. The scarf is a great souvenir from your trip. Hard to believe your kids are starting school on August 1! We always start after Labor Day.

    This is a perfect classic summer dress-white and eyelet together! It looks teriffic on you, and I love your whole outfit with the bright colorful accessories. And the shoes are the cutest. Congratulations on your son entering college with all those extra credits behind him. He must be a great student. Thanks for sharing the link up and I hope you enjoy the rest of your week and weekend!

    So much to love about this look. That dress is a very flattering fit on you. What a delicate scarf. Like a fabric watercolor. And those sandals. My favorite piece of this outfit.

    Hope all the kids have an easy transition back to school. Bravo to your son for starting college as a sophomore. Well done. I have been packing lunches for PC for years – mostly leftovers. Looking forward to his retirement next week so we can put away his lunchbox.

      The scarf is sheep’s wool that has been died.It’s pretty cool how thin it is. Congrats on PC’s early retirement. I am about to sit and work on some budget planning for the next month. Summer has been a little expensive!

    Your white dress looks stunning with those bright accessories! I love the pop of pink and the scarf’s butterfly print. Thrifted finds always add such unique charm. Congrats to your son on starting college! It sounds like an exciting time for your family.

      Oh yes, I have worn it with sneakers before too. It really is pretty comfortable as it is not too tight.
