Creamsicle Clothing!

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like I have been seeing a lot of bright coral/orange clothing on folks recently and a lot of neutral, specifically white, clothing. Two opposites, but both make a visual statement and both scream summer. Kinda like how we scream for ice cream.... Creamsicle ice cream...

...OK, reign it in, lady. Anyway, here are a few of the orange and/or white looks I have noticed lately:

Rachel McAdams makes white look sassy:

Doutzen Kroes has the height and frame to pull-off the bold orange:

This white dress makes Rachel Bilson look even more sweet and petite:
And, zinger!, Zoe Saldana makes a bold statement in a creamsicle gown:

How do you feel about the color combination? Which color do you gravitate towards in the summer?

Slouchy Days

I am sorry to those who are still wearing mittens, but yesterday was deliciously balmy. (Don't worry, when it's 115 degrees here in July you will have your revenge). 70 degrees with a very light breeze simply requires finding a patio to sit back and enjoy a tasty beverage, so off I went in my sunny day outfit: Minimalist color palette of white, navy and nude. I love my slouchy crepe pants (Anthro sale!), tissue-weight t-shirt and linen blazer. I was going to wear a heel, but the idea of wearing a sandal made me giddy, so there you have it ;) I know, I know, white after Labor Day is taboo, but I have never taken kindly to restrictions and, did I mention, it was so sunny!






Urban Oufitters blazer and ring, Stem t-shirt, Daughters of the Liberation pants, Steve Madden sandals, Ted Baker purse, Dogeared "Karma" necklace



I would have posted a close-up of the sparkle-encrusted sandals, but my feet were so alarmingly white, I couldn't get over it!

What are your thoughts on white after Labor Day and what item(s) of clothing puts you in a great mood?
