While the LBD (Little Black Dress) is the ultimate fashion staple, the Little White Dress deserves its own spot in the fashion hall of fame — at least, in the summer months.

This staple gets its best wear in warm weather, so take advantage now before cooler temperatures have you stashing your sundresses.

There are hundreds of cute little white dress styles to choose from and no matter what you choose you’ll look fab enjoying the warm weather… while you can.

Don’t forget your notebook — remember we want straight A’s this semester! But we don’t want any old notebook: This one from Bloomingdales is anything but basic.
