I think every woman should have at least one dress like this in her closet. With a little ingenuity and patient thrifting, you might just find the perfect one at a great price…
EDIT: Thank you to my Instagram followers (peep me at @ChiStreetStyle) for identifying this dress as Timo Weiland Spring 2012. I had no idea it was designer, I just photographed her because it was a GORGEOUS dress! Silly me for thinking it was thrifted. The runway photo below is evidence it is not!
First of all, my glamorous friend Alex gets all the credit for spotting this gorgeous woman while we were hanging out between shows. Between her incredible ombré pink hair, Alexander Wang Rocco bag, and sparkly sequin collar, she was one of the most stylish people at Pitchfork. I intentionally framed this photo to illustrate her as a fashionable ray of light amidst the grime and dust of the festival grounds at Union Park.
This beautiful young woman at Pitchfork reminded me of supermodel Abbey Lee in Milan. The stark bleach blonde hair, ethereal white clothing, and amulet jewelry create a transcendent sense of mystery. Personally, I hate wearing white because I am terrified of staining it with the tea I drink daily, but I suppose that’s part of the magic. Instantly I carry myself differently in white. The heightened care with which I travel through my daily life creates a zen-like a focus on mindfulness. Fashion is transformative in a variety of ways!
Considering Proenza Schouler Fall 2012’s ode to white and Phoebe Philo’s ongoing love affair with the color(?) at Céline, expect to see lots of angular white clothing in high fashion boutiques and fast fashion mass retailers alike.
Will you be wearing white clothing this fall?
