…as a statement…as a wardrobe necessity…
the power of white…the absence of color is white…the very lightness of white’s purity has made it the color of heavenly joy and chastity…angels wear white…as do babies…modern western brides…and virtuous romance-novel heroines headed for tragic fates…
it is clean…where would hospital hygiene be without it? its impracticality has made it a mark of social status through the ages…
white commands attention in the form of an evening gown…monochrome power at its most dazzling…
dressed down…white is the most basic of tones…the color of canvas sails and bleached muslin…it is versatile…crisp…and cool…a backdrop that can handle anything…
personally…i love white in the summer time…there is something about it that personifies beautiful sunny days…how about you? will you be wearing white this summer?
here is one of my favorites:
j.crew confetti mia dress (2008 collection) still love it…two years later…
