WIW: Summer brights and white

Parsley

Veteran

I've been looking forward to fall outfits, but I'm enjoying my last few weeks of my summer whites and brights while the weather is still warm.

1, 2- Out to dinner on the terrace with friends- Monet-esque top from Anthropologie a couple of years ago. It has a gorgeous draped back that's kind of hard to show. Loft white denim skirt, Eileen Fisher sandals that I have worn to death. They're so comfortable in spite of having a fairly high wedge.

3- Casual dinner at friends' house- Eileen Fisher flame colored sweater, Gap white skinny mini khakis, Stuart Weitzman wedge sandals, Hive and Honey statement necklace from Piperlime.

As always, comments and suggestions for improvement are most welcome!

Very nice! I especially love #2. That flame color is my all-time favorite color and it looks fab on you

You look fresh, beautiful, chic and quite Dutch in these outfits. Both an 11 out of 10. Thanks for gracing our pages with charm and chic, Marcy.

Love both outfits equally as much. Fab sandals and necklace too. I agree with Angie you do look fresh and chic.

You really know how to choose the right pieces Parsley! You never seem to strike out. The result is always spot-on colors, fit and proportions. YLveryF.

Both outfits are winners on you, Parsley. They are kind of a formula, come to think of it--beautifully designed tops over slim white bottoms and chic summer wedges. You look gorgeous in these, relaxed and chic.
I would say outfit 1 would be a good one to add a bracelet if you wanted an excuse to wear one, though the outfit certainly doesn't need it. I like your decision to let the interesting neckline, with the dip and drape in the back, stand on its own without a necklace.

Thanks to all for your nice comments!
Firecracker, Yes a bracelet would be nice. That day it was pretty hot so I just went with the bare minimum!

Angie, If you say I look Dutch I take it as a high compliment- Thanks! Is it the orange top?

TraceyLiz, good point about wearing white on into fall! I've been meaning to try that.

Loved the sandals in the first picture with the skirt and top. You did good by pairing a loose fitted top with skinny jeans for the second picture. Red is good with your dark hair.

Love the orange top with white skinnies and that statement necklace. Perfecto! Also like the watercolor top in #1.

I want to steal those wedges. They look great. You have your summer style down pat. Love the necklace in #3.

Very nice. I love the "monet" colours of the first top and of course white bottoms are my top pick for summer.

Such beautifully sculpted outfits! Great way to complement your hair and bring attention to your face colour and interesting details up top, while summerizing with white and near-nude open footwear below. This deserves a masterclass label and you look hot yourself.

Love both these outfits! The blouse is gorgeous! I love how it highlights the back. I adore tops and dresses that do that in summer. Outfit #2 is strong and simple. I like that.

So, so pretty. Interesting how you can wear both the soft shades of blue and the vibrant red equally well. Two great outfits from top to bottom.

Both look great, but I especially love 1

I love both looks. The white is so crisp and fresh next tothe organic print and the orange. I love your nude sandal choices and I am truly inspired by both of these outfit.
I have no suggestions. I think I have reached a point where I realize that making suggestions on outfits I think are perfect are ways of making them more "me" and I don't think it's fair for me to suggest that you should add my style elements to your outfits -- because you are you and this is perfect.
When I copy these outfits (because I will try) I'll make them more me

I really appreciate everyone's very kind comments!

Day Vies, I can't wait to see how you style a similar look- I'm always inspired by your style!
