All-white summer fantasy

I've written about how excited I am to wear coral red in summer; for me, coral red is mostly a seasonal fascination, though I think it complements sailor chic and white and dark blue stripes like no other color and should therefore be in at all times. The one idea that inevitably does come back to me every summer is wearing all white. Since I've been looking for people in such attire with a magnifying glass, I'll suppose all white takes a bit more guts than all black (though doing all black well - not because you want to hide or think it'll instantly make you look like you're Serious Business - is a science. Learn from the best: The Divinitus). Of course, the very practical reason behind us not wearing more white might just be that you get your white clothes dirty in one, two, three.

Here's my little prelude to summer. I'm going to resurrect this dress after it's been dormant in my closet for several years. Linen is funny, you iron your dress and then you realize it's most beautiful with wrinkles anyway. White suggests perfection and wrinkles break it. A contrast in a single garment.

Dress: Sisley
Bag: Marjeta Grošelj

    Bijelo je meni jedna od najdražih kombinacija bez obzira na opasnosti uprljanja, ali trenutno mi je veći problem što se u Zagrebu zbog vremena još uvijek nosi skoro pa zimska odjeća. mislim da bi me malo čudno gledali... jedva čakam doduše toplije dane :)

      Ovih dana baš često naiđem na žaljenje zbog hladnog vremena na Twitteru. Kod nas je isto bilo zahlađenje i kiša par dana, ali sad opet normalno. Mene baš pogodi loše vrijeme u svibnju jer sam cijela uzbuđena zbog recikliranja haljinica i ležernije odjeće, kad ono kiša. :D

    Zelo lepa torbica! Čisto preprosta, krasen dizajn. <3 Pohvale za fotografije!
    Ja bela oblačila pa kar kličejo po packanju in madežih.
    Jaz se slej ko prej polijem po belih oblačilih, kot da si želijo malo barve :)

      Super, da so ti fotke všeč, so namreč moje delo - z daljincem in veliko potrpljenja. :D :/

    Bela od glave do pete je tudi meni všeč, veliko veliko bolj od same črne. Ampak na drugih. Nimam poguma, da bi se oblekla v samo belo, čeprav če dobro pomislim imam bele lanene hlače in tudi kaka mikica v beli bi se našla. Hmmmm, morda pa zberem pogum. Ti si čudovita v tej oblekici in ne morem verjeti, da si se sama fotkala!

      Hvala, Kristina!
      Mislim, da boš lahko zbrala pogum :) Tudi jaz razmišljam o več belih kombinacijah in o tistih krasnih lanenih hlačah, ki ki jih tudi nisem nosila že x let. To poletje bo bolj belo kot prejšnja.

    agree, wrinkles bring the organic and white should feel nonchalant organic imo...
    i'm craving a white dress recently ;)

    I like to wear white. It's really a nice color and it makes me feel great. In fact white dresses are a part of my wardrobe from a long time.

    White really suits you, and I am glad you are trying to wear it again :)) I am sure that one of these days you'll manage an all-white outfit, it's really worth the hassle. Besides, linen washes really easily, as long as it is a simple to clean garment, it is not too bad :D
    i have been doing "all black" for many years now, never because it was easy, I just like the look. There were phases when I felt guilty about it (am I missing out, am I taking the easy way out etc) and I tried so hard to opt for less dramatic colour choices, but I genuinely love black clothing the most, so I just accepted it and that's that :D
    All white only when I'm doing yoga, though :)

    hehehhe... dočekala sam i ja svoje lijepo vrijeme i četvrtak i petak provela u divnim ljetnim nijansama - bijeloj! bez obzira na sitna uprljanja jedva sam dočekala. morati ću se naviknuti na opreznije kretanje kad sam sva u bijelom :) još mi samo fali more...

    Pozdrav iz sunčanog Zagreba :)

    Beautiful! And yes, all white does take more guts. Though I do love it in summer.

    Great clutch and I really like your new header!
