White Dress over Denim
I thrifted this fun white dress last spring and was instantly in love with the embroidery details and fun cut (and pockets!). When planning my Easter outfits, I knew I wanted to wear this white dress for one of them (we have 2 church services we attend), but in a different way than in the past (I wore it with white leggings and sandals last Easter). So I decided to style it in a more casual manner since we would go to our church’s party after the Agape Vespers on Sunday. I wore another white dress of our Pascha/Easter service and liturgy which starts around 11:30 PM and lasts several hours.
I hadn’t realized that my whole outfit was thrifted until I was describing it to my sister in law. Sandals, denim, dress and even the little clutch were all thrifted. That is my favorite thing about thrifting: finding unique pieces! I love the embroidery on the dress, the trim on the jeans and the color of my sandals. Even the clutch has a fun wooden detail on the front of it.
I just realized that I should see if they are any fun, down to earth thrift stores where we are planning to stay on Long Island. Maybe in a town nearby? I bet there would be some cool pieces as we are staying somewhere in the Hampton Bays.
It’s funny when you look at this picture: you can really tell how short the dress is! I really do like how it looks with these pants. I am sure I will continue to find ways to style it.
I have been adding some beaded bracelets in different colors to create stacks: I really like my neutral ones, but it is fun to add a colorful matching or contrasting one every so often.
Here are some other ways I have worn this dress:
This outfit is a great depiction of my style: classic elements like wearing white with denim and basic sandals, but cool boho details like the embroidery, the shape of the dress and some fun colorful pieces like the sandals and bracelet. Any other ideas on how to wear this dress: my mother in law had suggested wearing it over a skirt like maybe a denim skirt.
A bientôt!

I’ve always loved wearing a dress over denim. When I was wearing denim anyway, but I did like 25 years ago. And it was word back then, but I loved it. Great dress that is! Lovely embroidery.

I have done only a few times, but it is a really fun way to wear a shorter dress!

You are right! You don’t notice how short the dress is until you see it with the denim. I love all the little details on it. Do you have family on Long Island? I think there would be lots of throfying adventures waiting for you there!

I think I have worn it only once without something under for blog pictures: in real life, coverage is needed!

My father in law lives up there and we haven’t seen him in a number of years. So we will spend some time with him and on our own too.

I LOVE this dress over your jeans.
Definitely try it over a skirt…maybe a full skirt to mirror the fullness of the hemline. Or even over another dress.
