New York Fashion Week SS 2016....Charlotte

Charlotte Groeneveld of The Fashion Guitar, NYC, September 2015.

I love Charlotte's style (she is such a lovely person as well) because it is entirely wearable in "real life" as well as during fashion month. Okay, so maybe the gladiator sandals are not practical for running errands with small children in tow on a weekend, but the shirtdress certainly is - just add flat sandals or sneakers. Other white shirtdress inspiration here (on Franzi), here (on Laurel), here (on Leandra - great styling with a choker and fab platform sandals), here, and here on Leigh. 

The white shirtdress = a simple, timeless piece that you can style in so many different ways just by changing shoes and accessories (and perfect for taking on holidays to wear over a bikini).
