For those of you that just tuned in, From Grandma with Love is a twice-monthly series that is one of my faves! I’m lucky to be the recipient of my Grandmother-in-law’s beautiful wardrobe. She owned so many unique pieces, and I’ve had the MOST FABULOUS time styling it on the blog. It’s a win-win for me because I ADORE vintage and a fun excuse to wear it! This blog series will be every other Friday.
// Photography by Angie Garcia //I mean… Can we just talk about this dress? I have a total obsession with most things black and white because they remind of a certain brand with double CC’s (hint: Chanel), AND it’s a classic combination. To say I was “excited” when I saw this dress is an understatement!
The contrast trim is so simple but makes such a great statement. This dress is timeless. Since it’s a button up dress, it would be easy to wear as a longer jacket over jeans and a tee.
In a nod to the mod (60s style), the white booties were a perfect match for the dress. White booties are “in” this season, and I got this pair during the NSale! They have a low chunky heel (easy walking for momma) and double zippers (give it a cool factor).
THE STYLE Rx: You can’t go wrong with black and white. On that note… it doesn’t hurt to try the white bootie this season! Go head-to-toe in a winter white outfit or contrast it with a black dress!
With any new purchase, I always try to wear it multiple ways. During the Summer (it’s still like Summer here), I wore it with denim shorts and a graphic tee. Mr. S HATED that outfit! I mean, HATED IT! I decided it was due to the denim cut off shorts (remember my explanation in this post).
Not wanting to give up my newly obtained white who-knows-for-how-long booties, I went for a completely different look with this vintage dress! #success The white booties would also be cute with skinny jeans, a sweater, and a good cropped puffer jacket OR a head-to-toe winter white outfit! Monochromatic outfits are always my fave and look so chic with minimal effort!
Two questions for you! Do you own a pair of white boots/booties? How do you wear them?
Happy Friday Loves! Hope everyone had a great week. We went on a Kindergarten Preview yesterday. Things are so different compared to when I attended Kindergarten! Kids learn so much these days! I’m still trying to work on Little M’s potty regression. We had a great day yesterday because I set the timer for every hour, and he never had an accident. So, I’m attributing his accidents at school to be from too-busy-to-stop-to-go-potty syndrome!
We are celebrating Mr. S’s stepfather’s birthday this weekend! I’m excited to see the family! What are you up to?

I am fairly certain I’d ruin white boots the first time I wore them – the only reason my white COnverse are still kinda cleanish is because you can chuck them in the washing machine, ha! Saying that though, something about these boots makes me really want them! Don’t know if it’s the practical mum heel height or because they just look so cool with this dress!
I love a piece you can wear different ways too, and I think this would look awesome unbuttoned, I’m on your side with that one, sorry Mr S!

Mica! I definitely worry about that too! I’m so messy, and you can’t chuck leather boots in the wash! LOL! But I thought about taking the chance since they were on sale! And the mom heel is the best part! They are very comfy!
And thanks for being on my side! LOL!
I love this outfit! How elegant and the shoes are fantastic. Hope I see you at my Fancy Friday linkup party.

Thanks Nancy!! I think that I missed it last time! I’m always a bit behind! Thanks for thinking about including me in your linkup! :)
Ooh I love that dress! I thought Chanel the moment I saw it. And it looks amazing with the white booties! I don’t think I could pull them off, too scared of getting them dirty too, haha. But they look soooo good!

Thanks so much Liv!!!! :):):)
Would have never thought of white booties with the dress. Love the look.
Thanks Mommo! It’s a beautiful dress and would probably be gorgeous with clown shoes! BUt I thought the white booties were a fun change!
I don’t own white boots but I’d love to own your dress. What a treat to have this hmd from your grandma in law. Beautifully worn.
Thanks Lorena! Yes, this dress is special! I feel very lucky to have these pieces from her!
