Dog Days Require White

Those of you that I have worked with have probably picked up on the fact that I love white. Pairing it with color, with black, with khaki, with more white, I just love it and the looks you can create with it go on forever. So, with the "dog days" upon us, what is going to keep you the most cool other than white, or very light colored clothing. Or of course, a pool. I guess one of the first white basics to mention would be white jeans. I like these for night when the sun isn't blazing; you can wear some great heels and a halter top, or a tunic that comes past the rear-end for a different look. A more casual approach could be to add a cute eyelet or swiss dot top cut more full with some flats. Another basic white to check into is shorts. Length may be determined by age but if you are young enough with fairly shapely legs, go for short shorts and wear flats. If you choose to be daring, wear for a wedge with maybe a rope heel; tooooo cute. For this look, keep the top more modest and not extremely tight. If you wear a walking or "city" short, go with most any top, tees work for casual, and tops that show a little skin are fun. This length takes heels well also. White skirts are always a good plan, full and flirty are also cool and you just look like you are having fun. Double up 2 different colored tanks with a beachy chain and flipflops and you're good to go. A tight pencil skirt will work for nice dinners, brunches, and can go to a wedding if your top is colorful. These also look beautiful with summer jackets and cardigans and peep toes. White cropped pants or jeans with embellished tees and cute heels (think JCrew catalog) or a cotton sun top will take you to almost any place you need to go. And of course, the white shirt/blouse; for the summer, roll up the sleeves loosely and pair it with your black skirt and pumps for work or wear one with fitted long shorts(khaki would be very safari) and flats, again, roll the sleeves. However you choose to do it, wear something white. I think my all time favorite is navy and white. It's just so cool and summery, and very appropriate for July 4th! Enjoy the rest of your June, time flies when you are stylishly dressed! Call me....
