GET THE LOOK :: SUMMER SUIT

Let’s pretend, if only for a second, that cloth is un-stainable and that undergarments are invisible and the idea of white is not panic-inducing… in this world, I would wear an all white suit. A summer suit I would call it! And I would slip into it whenever I was feeling glamorous. Cristina here with a bit of a fantasy look (for me anyway) because as luck would have it I like saucy foods and red wine a little too much to risk it, but wouldn’t it be lovely? And to all those who dare, I toast to you!

It takes a brave woman with nerves of steel to rock this particular look. But once you do, you appear carefree! Laid back, without a worry in the world. You may even be so carefree that you don’t bother with a shirt at all (Stephanie La Cava, third from the left!) but if you’re feeling modest, I’d opt for a simple t-shirt or tank to dress this look down (like Anne Hathaway in her new pixie cut!). I already have a white blazer, and I have white pants, the next step is to take it all the way - who’s with me?

    White suit would be lovely, but even a white t-shirt is quite a risk on me…
    It’s so easy to read on white what I’ve been eating.

    I am completely with you. I love white suits…yet the idea of them scares me into black. I think you need to be in the “I’m going for it mood” in order to wear white…then have something else packed in case…no when you spill something all over yourself.

    Beautifully styled! That pop of kelly green would look amazing with the coral lips! All the color this smashingly confident ensemble needs! I actually have a full on white suit from my days working retail…but I gotta admit, I’ve never dared to rock the entire ensemble head-to-toe…this summer might just be the perfect time! Thanks for the reminder ;D

    I love the second and fourth photos. There’s no way I’d ever attempt a white suit, though. If there’s dirt around, it’ll find me. And I generally end up wearing almost as much food as I manage to eat.

    White really is my favorite- but I get so nervous about stains. Love the striped tank- adds a nautical vibe to the crispness.
