This tank top reminds me of the rainbow sherbert from my childhood. White, hot pink and coral orange is a classic summer combo. My tan looks darker against the light and bright palette.

Come to think of it, some ice cream sounds about right at this very moment. Keep cool!

The inspiration: Emmanuelle Alt

I’ve been pinning images of Emmanuelle Alt for her impeccable Fashion Week looks, no one wears jeans and a blazer/jacket better than her. Her look is effortless, chic and timeless. I was inspired to break out the white jeans and style them Γ  la Alt.

I pretty much already own most of the elements, but never put this outfit together before. I really love the result. I think I may need skinny white jeans for a longer and cleaner line, instead of the straight leg pair I’m wearing (my jeans would not tuck nicely into booties, which is why I decided to cuff them). I substituted my peep toe booties for boots, as I am over winter and boots for awhile. No one does a blazer better than Rag & Bone and this leather lapel blazer I scored from Nordstrom a couple of years ago is no exception. I discovered this slouchy studded tee in the back of my closet, I love when that happens. And you may know my love for the Lululemon Vinyasa scarf, which I just wrapped once around my neck. I love the blazer and scarf together, I’ll have to do this more often while the weather is perfect for this combo.

How do you style your white jeans?

Sorry for the headless shot, I caught a nasty case of pinkeye about a week ago. It’s been one of those weeks (from hell). I’m ready for summer and I hope I dressed the part in crisp whites and neutrals. The cool details on the bib part of the shirt adds interest to the all-white look. It’s my favorite white shirt of all time.

Hope your week is going well. xo
