Here are a couple of outfits I wore this week. First up is a look that I would have never tried if not for ylf – white skinny jeans & a tunic tee. I was very much inspired by a tunic tee that Jean/GreenGlove posted which she paired with clamdiggers and a scarf. It’s much too warm for a scarf so I opted for a longer, multi-layered necklace instead. The tee is from Anthropologie and is actually more of a navy than a purple as it appears in the photo. It features hip pockets and has an asymmetrical hemline. The skinnies are from F21 of all places – not really the best quality but it was a cheap way for me to experiment. If the look passes muster, I might invest in a better pair.

This is however a tee and jeans - not really following ylf rules, is it? Does the necklace dress it up enough? Any other options/suggestions?
Next is a dress that I bought at J Crew awhile back. I commented about this dress on Patience’s thread about white dresses. It’s a 100% cotton – not a knit! It’s very light & summery and casual and has an eyelet inset panel. It’s sort of a halter neck and with my shoulders & arms, I never go sleeveless so I threw on this short sleeved cardi & some gold medallion type earrings. I added a gold cuff before and had a different pair of sandals when I went out (wore the flip flops for going out on the deck).

I realize that I have been wearing a lot of white lately. So far so good with mixing white and MOTG activities. I wore white clamdiggers to my son's soccer game/party on Friday and I did end up getting squirted with some red popsicle juice but it came out in the wash so no worries! At least for casual wear, knowing that I can hit any of these items with my Clorox Bleach pen gives me some peace of mind.
