White On White

One of the best things about Pinterest is I get to stalk fashion giants like Tory Burch, and Fashion Guru, Nina Garcia, without them getting a restraining order against me.  These women who know everything fashion post pictures of up and coming trends on their Pinterest boards.  It is like my own personal oasis.


After discovering Nina's boards (yes, we are on a first name basis), I stumbled across her Fall 2012 trends.  Fall, you ask?  It's not even summer!  Well people - we have to be one step ahead of the game.  So one trend that caught my eye was "White".  

Jil Sander

Tory Burch

Prabal Gurung

Philosophy di Alberta Ferreti

Oscar de la Renta

I laugh to myself because one thing New Yorkers forget about southern women is that we do not wear white after Labor Day.  Oh, you can certainly try, but you'll get an eyebrow raised in your direction or a snicker made behind your back.  White on pasty white skin is not the greatest color combination.


So why not wear white on white now???  It's after Easter, the sun is out, our skin tones are evolving into a sun kissed glow.


Here are a few tips for trying the trend -

1. Your whites don't have to match.

2. Add a touch of sparkle or texture to add some dimension to your look.

3. Break it up with a jacket to add interest.  You can also insert a denim jacket here too.

Happy Shopping!
