Maybe I’m crossing the line into Easter parade float decor with this white fringed waffle knit dresss, but I don’t even care. It’s fun and interesting but still clean, and there’s a fringe feature– a huge trend for spring + summer. (Takes me back to my Jem and the Hologram days, where we would slice up our over-sized neon t-shirts and fringe out the sleeves.) The dress strikes the right combo of boxy cut + short hemline, which means the legs are officially out for the new season.
No worries about that ol’ no-white-before-Memorial-Day rule; the material here is heavy enough (ie, not chiffon or linen) that the dress plays for mid-March. Plus, rules are meant to be broken anyway, right?
My lovely friends at The Garment District let me wear this bright number as part of the events for Kansas City Fashion Week. They always find me the latest ‘n greatest; thanks girls!
Shop the look:
So excited for KCFW! Great way to spend a weekend in Kansas City. I’ll be live tweeting + Instagramming the shows on Friday; follow along if you like!
That dress is adorable and looks so fab on you! I hate that no white rule – I say wear white year round (I have been!)

As far as I know we don’t have that no white rule?! I love your dress, it’s so unusual with the fringe on the sleeve. Love the texture. You look great and those shoes are fab!
That dress is awesome!! I love the shape and the fun fringe detail–perfect with those sassy snakeskin pumps too! Have fun at KCFW…I went a few years ago and haven’t gone in a while. Next time I’m totally getting my butt there!!
This fringe dress is AMAZING! I love how you styled it with the Zara pumps — so fabulous! And your lip color is amazing — it looks gorgeous on you! Happy Friday and have a wonderful weekend!
Hahaha I would say you are crossing into the land of chic! Love the dress, it is stunning!
