Searching for the perfect white dress...

It's not what you think. I will be wearing white, but it's not me who is taking a trip down the aisle. I am very excited to attend a reverse wedding. The bride will be wearing blue, and her guests white. The concept is as unique as the bride and after a couple months of searching, a too-big ASOS dress and the realization that my summer tan is fading, I finally found "The One".
Dress: Alloy

Of course it looks nothing like this on. But with a cute belt and my trusty black Madden heels, it will certainly do the trick. The best part was it was on sale and I got the Labor Day free shipping. Now I just need to figure out what to do with my hair. Thoughts?

I am new at this so cut me some slack as I get acquainted with the world of blogging. Inspired by being asked to write a semi-silly and semi-serious fashion article for my dental school's ASDA newsletter and my love of clothing, shoes and accessories, I thought it might be interesting to document the life and outfits of a dental student. So here goes...

I should start out by saying that fall is my favorite season. Growing up in New England I have an appreciation for boots and sweaters and all things warm and cozy. Especially now that I can only wear those things for about two weeks when the temperatures dip down into the low 50's and everyone pretends it's freezing. Or maybe they really think it is, but in reality no one living in Southern California has a clue what cold really is. With that being said, I want to pay homage to a wonderful summer filled with fun dresses because they have been good to me as I have sweated it out over the last few months on both coasts and they will soon be taking their place in the back of the closet until next year.  Let's hit some highlights...

I was completely obsessed with this dress from asos for banquet in May. I can't take much credit for the look as I literally stole it off of fashion blogger Courtney Kerr (Most Eligible Dallas). I am equally as obsessed with how beautiful all of my friends looked that night.
Dress: asos; earrings: Forever 21.
I finished off the look with these purple platforms from Kohl's (A perfect knockoff for Steve Madden at an eighth of the price).

When summer wedding season got into swing, I scooped up this teal dress from Nectar Claremont to be cool and classy at an August sunset ceremony.
Dress: Audrey 3+1; Shoes: Madden Girl; Earrings: Forever 21.

Finally, for the ASDA golf tournament I channeled the South with a floral sundress from Nectar Claremont and a floppy hat care of Christina. Cherish, Maria and I went whipping around the course in our cart after consuming too many Twisted Teas and drinks out of mason jars. Fore!
Dress: Final Touch; Hat: Borrowed; Watch: Marc by Marc Jacobs; Twisted Tea: Vons.
