FASHION

White Hot

Written by Ashley

Summer = white parties, garden parties, weddings, night time ragers & day time fetes…the list is endless.  But too much white can be a little frightening.  Sometimes you need a little something to break this up, or to keep those white flouncy dresses from being a little too poofy…making you look less like a vision in white, and more like a cotton ball.

The white clothing will highlight your tan, while keeping you cool.  The black belt is not only functional, but it will break up the white and keep you looking lean.And even though there are trillions of looks that you can use to get yourself through what seems like an endless slew of events, this belt can bring you from day to night in  a ‘cinch’. LC nailed it at the 08 Teen Choice Awards, tieing her white strapless dress together with her black heels.  Simple and sophisticated enough for nighttime!

In any case, make sure to pack a black skinny belt into your getaway bag…to help you with ANY fashion mess you may find yourself in.
