Spring Must Have: The Little Black and White Dress

I recently modeled in a show for my favorite Philadelphia brand, SAVA (waiting on professional photos to share).  I wore a few looks but the one that really grabbed my attention was a form fitting white dress with two side panels in black (will link to it once available).  I donned it the "Little Black and White Dress".  Both versatile and on trend, this is an absolute must have for any fashionista in spring 2013. Below, I am sporting my very own gifted to me by London Times a few months back.  At the time, I loved the dress because it is classic and timeless.....I couldn't have predicted the explosion of the "Black and White" for Spring. I decided to pair mine with fun bright (shocker orange) accessories to give it a fresh perspective...Hope you find some outfit inspiration:)  The dress below is available in limited sizing here but I have linked to many a beautiful black and white dress......I think you will find options to flatter all body types, aesthetics and budgets. Happy Shopping!

 Dress London Times available here, Leather Jacket Steve Madden via Nordstroms, Necklace c/o Zolie Designs, Bag Marc Jacobs no longer available and Shoes Christian Louboutin available here




Totally Splurge Worthy:
This Trina Turk is gorgeous and worth the splurge.
This Missoni is a slight obsession of mine right now.
This DVF is beyond and I love the little piping details in black.

Middle of the Road:

This Ann Taylor Sheath is available through size 18 as well as in Petite.
This Micheal Kors option is really soft and feminine.
This Suzi Chin dress is extremely similar to the one I am wearing above.


Budget Conscious:
This one from Kohls is very spring inspired with the floral details.
This BB Dakota is so very sweet.
This Limited dress is such an inexpensive and easy way to wear this trend.

Don't see anything you love...Pop by your favorite retailer and I am certain they are doing a version of a black and white dress!

Lace is such a great trend. But let's not forget the necklace. That puts this in a whole different category of fabulous.

Tiered budgetary recommendations, sheer genius. This dress is a stunner and I am very pleased to see B&W as a trend for spring, once I can totally support (i.e. timeless.)
