White and summer make the perfect pair. White accentuates a sun-kissed glow while being chic on almost anyone (although my fiancé would say, “Amor, only summer? You’re practically in white all year.”) I know, but white not only signifies a classic summer staple – it’s a reminder that I’m also a bride-to-be now. Though it’s been extra hot these last few weeks in Palm Beach and the days have gotten longer, white linens, ease of feminine white dresses or imaginative, crisp white suits have taken an entirely new meaning in this chapter of my life. White ensembles aren’t just for casual outings anymore, but have also become possible outfits I could wear to any of my celebrations leading up to the wedding. Being that I’m petite, it becomes rather hard to shop for just anything that fits me well (that’s why I have my clothes tailored 99.9% of the time or shop at petite-friendly places). Ann Taylor gets my sizing (and style) right. I love their classic options and slim fits…all in petite sizing (like this previous look here)! The styles are always polished and destined to be a season’s favorite (if not seasonless!). Last week I threw on my Ann Taylor pinstripe blazer and paired it with the pinstripe pants and immediately felt refreshed in this all-white look. Easing into a sleeveless button down underneath was a given due to the rising temps here, which is hotter than your average summer. Because I couldn’t leave the house without accessories, I slipped into my Tenley leather sandals, which added the perfect pop along with gold pearl earrings (more options here) to really complete the look. Although, I planned to wear this around town, I couldn’t help but realize how suitable it was for a lovely dinner celebration with my fiancé and other summer wedding celebrations, too! It’s been so wonderful being home these last few weeks together – and it is all finally hitting us. Even with all the projects, planning and demands surrounding us, I have been so inspired by the newness in this season of our lives and thankful I have someone like him by my side (now and forever).

In case you’re wondering why I’m not wearing my engagement ring here, it’s because I accidentally left it at home! #facepalm Turn on your JavaScript to view content [Thank you Ann Taylor for sponsoring today’s post!]
