Summer BBQ

I attended a friend's summer barbeque in Venice Beach yesterday and wore a perfectly summery white lace dress paired with a plaid shirt to add some country edge to the ensemble. 

The LWD (Little White Dress, for those of you who are acronymically-challenged) is a summer must-have, as it works for a number of events. For example, I've worn this dress to picnics, dinner parties, the beach, a beach-themed party, class...the list goes on and on. 

I also love using a button-up shirt as a jacket in summer. Button-up shirts tend to be more light-weight than most jackets, so they work wonderfully for when the day gets a little cool.
