Gustavia: The Summer Dress

Summer is the season of white cotton dresses, cool early mornings walking in the still woods, and long afternoons sipping lemonade under the shade trees, so it wouldn't be fitting to let the summer slip by without at least one post with a white cotton dress.White cotton dresses with eyelet and lace have been an obsession of mine for as long as I can remember.  I spent years searching for the perfect little white dress before finally realizing that they are all perfect in their own way.Each dress is a whole and complete vision, a work of art, a dream made real and I love them all just as they are.  This particular dress is a very exiciting thrifted find from Anthropologie brand Eri + Ali.  
Originally coming in at $178 (0r so saith the internet) I found this dress on a resale site in new condition for a meager $40.  While researching this dress, I also found that I really loved the way it was styled in the first photo below the outfit info below and decided to get as close to that look as possible.  I've already been wearing this dress since summer is in full swing and I love the loose fit and the breathable fabric.  I really miss the days when clothes were mainly made of natural fibers instead of recycled plastic dunked in forever chemicals.  Nothing will ever be so comforting to wear as cotton, especially on warm summer days like this.
