There are hundreds of reasons why I love summer, but one of the many is that I get to wear white pants, shorts and skirts. White is my favorite neutral - you can put almost anything with white bottoms. Sadly, it's May 3 and I haven't worn white pants once yet! That's because the weather has been so cloudy and cool that it hasn't even felt like Spring to me yet. I'm on the hunt for a new pair of white pants which is what inspired by Fashion Friday post today. And even though I already have four pairs of white shorts, I'm on the lookout for another pair. I just love the way white reflects the sunshine and makes your sun-kissed skin glow!
Here's how I wear white in the summer:
I realize now that I really like to pair white with a bold, solid color so maybe I should look at some prints to match up with my white bottoms. I think I like the sharp contrast between the white and the bright color. White, after all, is actually the reflection of all colors (if you look at color as light). This is a lesson I learned from my 6th grade science class. (Check out color theory
here if you want to know more - like black is actually the absence of color in light.)
I would not wear the shorts to work, obviously, but I would wear the white shorts and black shirt for a night out and I would wear the lace shorts and sandals anywhere this summer. I love the tie in the back of the blue shirt. I am crazy about the white lace shorts, but I can't find any that I actually like or can afford. I may be too old for them, I haven't decided yet. I'm still looking though...
I love to wear sandals, wedges and peep toes shoes so summer is my favorite shoe season also. I really like the shoes that wrap around the ankles this season. Those are fun to wear with skirts and shorts. I also love sling back shoes which I wear the most in the warmer weather.
Here are some white pants I've found that I like:
Is white a "go to" staple for you in the summer?
