White Mini Dress: Thumbing My Nose At Fall

Is your Instagram feed burgeoning with rosy-cheeked influencers tossing autumn leaves in the air and extolling the virtues of fall? Mine is and it drives me nuts. Far be it from me to deprive anyone of their joy – if you love fall, you do you, you know? – but oh lordy, I’m over it and it hasn’t even started here in the Bay Area.

The fact that fall hasn’t started in earnest allows me to do cheeky things like wear an all-white, middle-of-July-type outfit for date night. Aren’t I just a sartorial frondeur?

Last weekend, Rodrigo and I were set to go out to dinner – me in this skin-tight white mini dress number – when we realized that our plans overlapped with UFC 253. Our plans devolved, or perhaps evolved, into ordering a pizza and watching the fights at home with our nephew. It was lovely. If that isn’t marriage, I don’t know what is.

But still, this white mini dress number persists! I love its simplicity and the flow created by the high-low button-up thrown over top. It’s a look that clings to summer, among other things, which is one of its many appeals!

My friend Kim took these shots – didn’t she do a great job? Taking advantage of the fact that she’s up from LA visiting family and having her shoot all my lewks, like this tangerine one from last week!

And you – are you drinking the fall kool-aid? Or – what is it – PSL? Haha.
