Yesterday I shared this same little white dress styled with a velvet burnout kimono. During the same photoshoot, I wanted to show a second way that you could style the same exact dress.

This time, I switched out the floral kimono for a sueded reversible ruana and a reversible obi belt. I chose the brown sides of both the ruana and belt because they matched my boots. But now I am wondering how differently this outfit would look with the belt on the black side and ruana on the rust colored side. Or the belt on top of the ruana. Hmmm. Perhaps I have some ideas brewing. What to do?

The day we shot these photos was really stinking hot and humid making the kimono and ruana one layer too many. By the end of the photoshoot, I had to shed that top layer and wear just the dress. But I kind of liked the dress belted without any other layers, too. What do you think?

So I guess that is actually 3 ways to style this little white dress. I didn’t take any photos of the dress by itself unbelted because it looks really super frumpy that way. But that is the way I ended up wearing it for the rest of sticky hot day…out of necessity and to prevent heat stroke.

Linda of A Labour of Life shared her post, Momma Mia White Linen. Seriously, I am dying over this little white dress with the beautiful painted flowers in black. Not only is the black on white contrast so striking, but the Asian inspired style is totally my thing! And did you see Linda’s super cool sandals?
