Colorless

May 28th, 2009

Occasionally I find the abundance of white clothing in my closet discouraging since it’s about as neutral [read: boring] as you can get.  Luckily, those thoughts are far and few between seeing as how it’s the quintessential color for summer.  As demonstrated perfectly by some of these leading ladies, white tops can add an alluring and crisp vibe to any outfit, especially with the help of appropriately placed buttons, bows and ruched edges.  Here are just a few of my current obsessions (ranging from Forever 21 to Miu Miu) that would blend seamlessly with the rest of my growing collection.

1. Forever 21, $15.80
2. Marc by Marc Jacobs, $102
3. dELiAs, $44.50
4. Old Navy, $12.50
5. Erin Wasson X RVCA, $55
6. Elizabeth and James, $95
7. Topshop, $50
8. Miu Miu, $312
