Hello, and thanks for stopping by my blog!
White is a favorite go-to color for summer outfits for me
How about you-
do you wear a lot of white during the warmer months?
White is perfect with so many colors,
it looks great with pastels and brights in summer,
and is so crisp and clean worn alone
in a monochrome look, on a hot, humid day
White also works so well as a base layer all year round
This week, I am all about white,
since it is the first week of summer
and we are experiencing the first heat wave of the year!
For my first outfit, I am wearing a white eyelet blazer
with a large floral scarf fashioned into a blouse underneath
White ankle crop trousers on the bottom
The blazer is a summer basic for me
and I have had it for several years
The eyelet pattern is in a four petal flower motif
in two different sizes
I have been seeing so many beautiful
eyelet pieces this season
in different colors and unusual patterns
Clutch bags are back on trend again
(they never left my closet!)
This one is special for it's bright tangerine color
and the fact that it is vintage, from the 1960s
The bag is made of the most soft, supple pebble grain leather
Here is the extra large beautifully printed floral scarf
I am wearing as a blouse with this outfit
For light summer jewelry I chose
a gold tone twisted cuff bracelet
and vintage orange enamel 3-D pedal earrings
with rhinestones centers
White goes so well with other neutrals, too
These white and tan gingham
Maryjane slides are the perfect summer
color combination and print
My second outfit this week
has a white base with a short sleeve tee,
and an inverted center pleat denim skirt
Over the tee, I have layered a lightweight knit vest
in a pastel periwinkle, white and soft grey argyle pattern
I never seem to make these connections
when I am getting dressed,
but looking at the pictures now, this outfit
reminds me a little bit of a 1920's woman's tennis set
Do you see it?
For jewelry, I choose all gold tone rounded shapes,
to suit the soft colors of the outfit
Link design hoop earrings, a circular disc pendant necklace,
and an open curved tube bracelet
Carrying a new this spring bucket bag in nude
Pinkish nude perforated oxfords to finish the look
More white!
White monochrome outfit from August, 2018
I can hardly believe this was six years ago!
Stay cool, and have a great week!

I see a bit of a vintage tennis vibe to your second outfit. It's cute! And that eyelet blazer is fabulous! I love everything eyelet. Beautiful looks this week!
I absolutely thought immediately that the second outfit was a vintage sports look with a modern twist - super cute! It's definitely the right time to pull out all the bright white and all the eyelet!
That eyelet blazer is stunning!So pretty! And indeed, tennis, that was my first thought. Love the vibe of that look! And wimbledon started so on trend I would say!
