When To Wear White
1. Maeve Linen Blouse
So what am I wearing? Today, it’s all about a pop of color and a little boho chic thanks to this adorable linen blouse that comes in six colors from Anthropologie. Wardrobe staples always come to my rescue, especially when transitioning from one season to the next.
White denim is a wardrobe essential I can count on again and again. Of course, you can and should wear white denim 365 days a year but spring and summer are the perfect time to wear white denim when it’s not too hot nor too cold and there’s no slushy snow to contend with. I love the flattering fit of a bootcut jean. If you have a booty like me it adds balance to your proportions.

2. Bootcut Jeans

Ballet flats are trending this year so if you have a pair hanging out in your closet now’s the time to wear them again. Cap-toe ballet flats are always in vogue think the iconic Chanel cap-toe flat. But a simple monochromatic color works just as well. Tory Burch, J.Crew, Talbots, M.Gemi, and Sarah Flint are all good choices.

3. Gold Link Necklace
(Frances Valentine)
During the spring and summer months, my jewelry is on style repeat. Accessories are always icing on the cake but during the warmer months, my baubles really shine. ‘Cuz you can see them. Layering necklaces adds visual interest to an outfit. One for the money and two for the show! But don’t neglect to add a stack of bangles to the mix.

I love white denim, but reserve it for the warmer months because it is just too messy in the Northeast to wear it during the wet/snowy
weather! I agree about the fit of white denim. I just tried on several pairs and bought none as they were either too tight, too see through or cropped in an unflattering way (I liked your crop it yourself method). Plenty of time to find a new pair of perfect white denim though! Waiting for some real spring weather here!
Love white denim and wear it year round, just as you’ve depicted here. But I live in southwest Florida, where it is almost always perpetual summer.
