all white

white wash

White can be such a refreshing color, especially in the Summer. It’s a powerful statement to wear all white.

texture

Add some texture to break up all white. Eyelet is such a sweet fabric. It’s wholesome, fresh, and clean looking. It’s a perfect Summer fabric.

metals

Infusing metals like gold or silver will make your white sparkle. You can play up the metal with your sandals,and jewelry. Then, the white becomes a backdrop.

tips

  • Break up all white with your shoes, handbag, and jewelry
  • Mix textures like linen, denim, sheer cotton, eyelet, and metal
  • Wear nude undergarments
  • Keep makeup natural looking
  • Try to keep your whites white – dull white will drag you down

    LOVE white tops and white dresses! I was just looking at a bunch of them online at Forever21… While I intend to one day invest in some great wardrobe pieces (and I don't scrimp on good jeans/pants), F21 is still my go-to for trends and basics… and their headbands right now are must-haves! They have a lot of the trends you see at Urban Outfitters for a fraction of the price, to include feathered headbands reminiscent of the 1st SATC movie a la Carrie's bridal bird headpiece, as well as some Madonna-80s-inspired black lace veiled headbands.

    Of course, you do sacrifice quality for such a discount. I tend to toss/donate F21 pieces after a season or two. And I'm not sure what to think about some of the lawsuits against the company for copying designer pieces…
