Always a Bridesmaid

I think my favorite color to wear has to be white. It makes sense because my favorite color in general is white. It’s just so clean and beautiful. I feel like when I’m wearing something simple like a white dress, I’m wearing the clothes, the clothes aren’t wearing me, which is something that’s very important to me. But I have to be careful. Not only because white can get dirty easily and I’m one of the messiest/clumsiest people ever, but also because I have tons of friends engaged and getting married soon, which means I can’t wear white to any of those events.
This weekend I’m heading to New York to attend my friend’s bridal shower and also to celebrate my other friend’s engagement. White is pretty much banned for me for the whole weekend, but as I plan my outfits, I can’t help but pick white pieces. This is going to be so hard! I think some shopping is in order. So before I head off to NYC, I’m wearing my white clothes here in Atlanta.

Yesterday I wore this pretty white dress and Johnny jumped at the opportunity to shoot it during golden hour. When we have an outfit that lets the sun shine through, we both get super excited to snap photos and this one was no exception. I decided to add some color with my new blue heels and kept the jewelry simple with my summer go-to necklace that I designed with TAudrey Jewelry. I love how this look turned out and I’ll definitely be wearing this dress throughout the summer. Only at those non-wedding related events, of course.
Are you a fan of white?

You look great in white! This is a fortune, people don’t fit very good in white. You are wonderful 🙂

Thanks!! I would probably look better if I was a little tanner but hopefully that will change this summer! 🙂

Adore those shoes! I love white too, but I think I’ve ruined every white shirt I own. So I try to stay away or at least get inexpensive pieces.

Haha! I don’t know how I haven’t ruined mine. I try not to wear it for the full day so maybe that helps! But that’s a good point – most of my white stuff is pretty affordable!

That dress is stunning!
I have the same problem, a bunch of white dresses that I can’t wear to events because it’s always for someone else’s wedding!
Gorgeous shots!

Right?! I guess we’re just at that age, haha

I love the white dress paired with blue shoes. Beautiful!! I’ve been so hesitant to buy nice white dresses because I always end up not wearing them since they are off=limits for weddings…they are my favorite though!
May 13, 2015 @ 11:45 am
Thank you! Glad I’m not alone. The struggle is real! Lol

I love wearing white too! Like you said, it just looks so clean. I’m also pretty clumsy though. I just bought a new purse, and it’s white, and I already got stuff on it! It’s horrible. That’s what bleach is for, I suppose. I love this dress! It’s gorgeous! As are you.
May 13, 2015 @ 11:46 am
Haha, true dat! Bleach is my bestie in the summer 😉

That dress is amazing and looks so good on you! You are braver than I- I’m always nervous that I’m going to spill something. White generally doesn’t look good on my china doll skin, but it looks great on you!

Aren’t they amazing?! I love them!!

I’m far too clumsy to wear white! Much more a fan of navy and black – though I’m trying to get more bright colours into my wardrobe! Alice xx

Love this look!! White is such a clean, classic look and those amazing shoes offer just the right amount of pop!
May 13, 2015 @ 2:49 pm
Thanks! I thought so too!

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!!!

LOOOOOVE love love this dress on you–so beautiful and ethereal 🙂 I’ll be honest–I love the look of white and the theory of wearing it, but I can’t put it into practice for the reasons you mentioned above… I am just the messiest eater and clumsiest person ever so white never stays crisp for very long 🙂
So, I have a question–can you really not wear white to a shower? I get that you can’t wear it to a wedding, but I feel like it’s not trumping the bride of mom-to-be, or am I wrong?
May 13, 2015 @ 2:59 pm
I’ve realized I just wear my white outfits to events and take it off right after, so I’ve been pretty lucky with keeping it clean! I would never wear white to any bridal-related event. We’re even going to happy hour the day before the shower and out the night of and I’m avoiding white completely. I think it’s extremely rude to wear white to a bridal shower, bachelorette party, or any related events/outings, etc. I don’t think there are any restrictions for a baby shower though.

I love love wearing white too but I have the same problem – I’m always spilling things on myself!
You look beautiful in white btw. 🙂
May 13, 2015 @ 4:51 pm
Thank you so much!! 😀

Is this a hint to Johnny? 😉

Gorgeous dress, Megan!

– I bought this exact dress from chicwish but it’s entirely see through. Did you wear anything underneath?
May 31, 2016 @ 12:25 pm
Oh no! Mine came with a white slip to wear underneath!!
