Haus of Hybrid: white

I wore this outfit to Night Market (the old one) a couple weekends ago. I had spent the afternoon DIY'ing a few t-shirts that I had picked up from thrift stores for the Outside Lands Festival. I'm practically a DIY expert now. I can chop up a t-shirt like nobody's business.

Tank: DIY Jeans: Forever 21 Sandals: Old Navy Purse: Topshop Sunglasses: Spitfire

But in all seriousness, I'd seen a tank similar to this at F as in Frank as part of their SNAP collection, but they wanted $35 for it. I said, "B-tch please", and vowed to make my own. Admittedly, I was kind of terrified at first because I'm probably the least crafty person I know (Martha Stewart-wise. I am excellent at devising Blair Waldorf-esque plans. Just jokes....or am I?). I scoured YouTube for an adequate tutorial, but found none. I did find a lot of really bad tutorials, including ones with no sound, showing just the person's hands - super creepy. Instead, I took some tips from numerous videos.

Fringing, not a quick task

I actually got dressed and sent a photo to my friend asking if the outfit was "a bit too Jennifer Lopez". Seriously, with some rhinestones and platforms (and hoop earrings with my name in them), I would've been channelling Jenny from the Block, for sure. But since I was going to Night Market, I braced myself to be recognized as a Canto-pop star. Much to my dismay, that didn't happen.

This, however, did.

If you were in a taxi during NYFW in February, then you would've seen Suze Yalof Schwartz's Spring Must-Haves ad for Lord and Taylor (and be able to recite it word-for-word).

On her list? A Litte White Dress.

If you're in New York, they're perfect for summers in the Hamptons. And if you're everywhere else, they're perfect for long walks on the beach, for being your tennis whites at The Club (aren't you fancy), and for P. Diddy's All White party (is that still a thing?).

Depending on the fabric of the dress and how you accessorize, you can rock them at the office, on date night, and on girl's night. LWDs are classy and sophisticated...even when you're sweating buckets.

Here are my picks for summer:
