Summer Whites with Brights

Hello, and thanks for stopping by my blog!

White is the perfect color (or lack of color) for beating the summer heat

Wearing white and light colors seem just right for hot weather,

as it truly helps us feel more cool and comfortable, due to the light reflecting properties 

I like white all by itself, but it is also a great choice to mix with all of the 

 bright colors of the season for a very sun-shiny look☀️

I purchased this dress back in the spring

 The prairie style has been very popular all season and for several years running

It is a great choice for summer, with a loose and easy fit 

 Another plus is it is made of breathable cotton fabric 

 This dress also has lots of nice details like sweet puffed sleeves and of course, a long tiered skirt

Win-win! 

A whole lot of reflective white 

with the sun glowing in from the south facing window behind me

This circular straw bag has become a favorite of mine for the summer months  

I love that it is decorated with tiny sea shells,

and is a convertible design with a detachable cross body strap

To add a pop of bright color to all the white,

I am wearing a pink polka dot scarf as a waist sash

For jewelry, I chose my gold tone bow bracelet

and large daisy shaped earrings

White band strap sandals with straw covered block heels

 to finish this summertime look

This next outfit is predominantly white

in combination with two other very popular summer colors, aqua and coral

I wore this crochet vest over a dress a few weeks ago on the blog

in a post about the color coral

This time, it is paired with a paper bag waist skirt in an abstract print

of red, turquoise and aqua on white

For jewelry I picked out a gold tone disc pendant necklace,

I have been wearing this a lot lately,

with vintage 1980's kidney shaped red enamel earrings 

and a 1950's white plastic expandable cuff bracelet

I like to experiment with mixing up my decades

especially with accessories

More brights! Red-orange in the garden-practically neon!

Hope everyone has a good week!
