I have always had a thing  for wearing white when I’m not supposed to (i.e. after Labor Day) but I am a firm believer that at this point in fashion, anything goes.  And aside from the constant paranoia of watching where I’m sitting and trying to skillfully eat everything to avoid a mess (which almost, ALWAYS ends up on my clothes anyway), wearing white in the summer staple I love to experiment with.

Now, you obviously can’t go wrong with a pair of white jeans–it’s a beloved wardrobe staple for many.  But I think just as necessary, is the white vest.  It’s effortless versatility is perfect–adding a no fuss accessory to a casual look and giving a work outfit a touch of modern edge.
