Cool your mood with white-hot style

It’s America’s weekend to celebrate and no-doubt patriots everywhere will be decked out in their favorite red-white-and-blue ensembles. But since you are so stylish there is no need to follow the masses this holiday weekend. Instead, why don't you cool things down a bit and sport this season’s hottest color combo: white-on-white. Don’t be afraid to wear it head-to-toe, but if you are, pick one staple (i.e white crops, white accessories) to cool your look down a few notches.

Style Hint:

Don’t you hate it when you are trying to find the perfect white pant for summer, but you can always see the pocket lining though the fabric? Me too! Here’s the quick fix: have a tailor (or yourself if you are savvy enough) cut out the pockets and sew the opening shut. Problem solved!

Also, as if I even need to tell you, you should never, never, NEVER wear colored undies under white bottoms (not even white undies) Why you ask? Because they show through (yes, even the white ones)! It is best to go with a flesh-toned thong or seamless panties. Check out Spanx ‘Undie-Tectable Panties’ or, for a more customized look, check out My Skins which offers bras and panties available in 20 skin shades!

Stay cool and have a happy 4th!
