White Out

This past summer, Citi Bike docking stations started popping up all around New York City. Well I happen to like bike riding and the occasional spin class, so I decided to give it a go. For this, I wore my most perfect white shirt dress from THAKOON'S SPRING / SUMMER 2013 runway show. This particular dress is the frock worn under a sweater in look 16. I think it looks better without the sweater.

I absolutely love white for the summer because it just feels so fresh and crisp. Shirt dresses can be tricky because often they lack shape, but this one features princess seaming and gathering around the waist. Conveniently, the bike came with a front basket that was perfect for holding my FENDI 2JOURS or any other sizable handbag I might be carrying. Now I wouldn't necessarily recommend wearing 5 inch heels to go for a bike ride, however my GUCCI PLATFORMS with 3 ankle straps looked so good with the frock, I just couldn't resist. The Iman sandal is from their Spring Summer 2010 collection and their acquisition is a story for another day...
