Look for Less ~ Eyelet Dress

Although I have previously professed my love for little white dresses (here), I only had a white sheath (worn at our vow renewal ceremony).  While I loved the one I already owned, I was craving a more casual sundress style.  And I kept coming back to this picture of Eva Mendes in her eyelet lace Dolce & Gabbana version.   

Knowing that July brings major markdowns on summer inventory at most stores, I decided it was the perfect time to search.  This silhouette is a little more "sweet" than I normally go for, but I knew I could add a belt & some edgy accessories to help balance it out.

Banana Republic Eyelet Strapless Dress (here) - retail $130; bought for $34

Details I love: White eyelet lace is crisp & feminine, boning at sides means I won't be "pulling it up" constantly, classic shape is ultra-flattering.
