The Great White-Out

 As you know, I'm a great espouser of 
BLACK.


But, also of 
WHITE.


No one can go wrong with either
BLACK or WHITE
or
a combination of the two.


Add an accent color...and you're complete.
Especially when travelling.

The pieces below can be in almost everyone's
wardrobe, they are budget-friendly X10,
which just goes to prove we don't have to
be "investment dressing" everywhere we go.

GAP crocheted lace-trimmed dress. Under $50

to die for, even wear shiny bike shorts underneath

for a more covered-up look.

H & M Lace Waistcoat/Vest $25.00
buy 2 of these bargain pieces so when one wears out
you have another.

ALL SAINTS White Maxi Dress $250

& how cute is this with the lace vest?

WHITE tote with brass feet,

cannot find price or source,

but something like this,

even if it only lasts ONE season.

RAG & BONE islet jacket $600

BCBG @ Lord & Taylor Enameled Chain Necklace $58

I would wear this myself.

So so cute, so young & new looking.

REPPETO Nelson Oxford @ La Garconne $203

a must-have !!






any of these or something "like" these
will give a great summer look.

Years ago, waaaaay back when, I would always travel with a

beautiful signature scarf...tied around my handbag if it was too warm

to actually drape it around myself...I also wear them twisted around 

my head on a bad-hair day.  Buy the largest ones you can find

in a natural fiber fabric, they can be wraps around a swimsuit,

hair ornaments, shawls, skirts, tops...or if you're in a romantic

mood try draping them over the lamp in your hotel room...they give

a lovely feeling to the room, like an Arabian tent in 1001 Nights.


I'm going back to this scarf routine now, 
along with the black/white rule.


Baggage costs too much $$.
Baggage is way too much trouble to handle yourself.
"Stuff" encumbers us.
