Everyone has heard that a wardrobe essential is the  LBD ( Little Black Dress ) but you should also have a LWD ( Little White Dress ) especially for spring and summer. A LWD can be formal or it can be casual but no matter the style is should be a staple in your wardrobe. While the choices for a LWD are endless, one of my favorites is the Backstage Benatar Dress.

Backstage is a Australian brand that is taking the world by storm with their glam meets rock clothing.  Influenced by the world of rock as well as the arts in general, you will find great dresses many of which are named after great female musician like Pat Benatar. The Backstage Benatar Dress is a tank dress with a kick skirt. Appropriate for day or night this dress will get you a lot of compliments. You can keep it fun and vibrant by adding color with a pair of bright shoes. Keep it classic and stick with black or white shoes if you prefer. This is a timeless dress that will carry you from year to year without looking dated.

Celebrities like Kim and Khloe Kardashian as well as Ashley Tisdale are already fans of this brand and soon you will be too.

A white dress is the perfect summer staple for your wardrobe. With the exception of a wedding there really are no restrictions as to where you can wear this color. There are so many different styles of white dresses from ASOS and the best part is that they are affordable, with most being less than $100.

A white dress does have a few downfalls that you have to be aware of. You must put careful consideration into your undergarments with a white dress since they most likely will show through.  Be aware of the weather making sure to have an umbrella or a coat to throw on when it rains so you do not expose yourself if you get wet.  A white dress will show all dirt and stains so avoid wearing white if you are going to be in a dusty or dirty setting. Be prepared to have to launder your white dress after every wear.  As long as you think ahead though you can wear a white dress and look fabulous doing so. There are many perks to white as well : it shows off so well against a tan, it makes you look pure and innocent, and it complements all skin tones.

The TFNC 60′s Style Lace A-Line Mini Dress is a modern dress with a vintage feel to it. The elbow length sleeves are made up of a mod looking lace pattern and the back is open and exposed so this is not a dress to wear if you can not go without a bra. This is a dress that is perfect to wear for drinks or dinner with friends.

A casual white dress perfect for brunch or weekend errands is the Lipsy Dress With Frill Front And Tiered Hem. This dress is loose fitting and frilly so it is great for those scorching hot days when you try to have the least amount of fabric touching you. The mesh flower embroidered neckline and the two tiers of ruffles at the bottom give this dress a soft and feminine feel and look to it.

I love the one shoulder look for dresses, especially when the one shoulder is dramatic. The Lipsy Structured Dress With One Shoulder is the perfect dress for an evening event. It has a strong frilly shoulder to draw attention and the ruched panel on the opposite side of the waist creates great balance for the dress.
