And After Color We Want What, Or, Saturday Morning at 12:42am

Even I tire of wistful musing on the meaning of life. Instead, let’s wonder what we might wear when the weather warms. In your case this might be spring, although in my neck of the woods we just take off our jackets come March or April, all “Fare-thee-well, winter!” but don’t switch out wardrobes altogether ’til summer.

I’m thinking all white. I have no idea why.

I lied. I do have an idea. Maybe this year we need to reflect light. To beam. No matter how many windows, inside is always darker than out, and we might be looking forward to the out-of-doors, more free as the pandemic eases. Two ideas. Maybe we crave a palette cleanser, as our interiors seems to be getting more and more colorful. White clothes become, essentially, the antidote to murals and wallpaper, even of the pretty variety.

If Christopher John Rogers can do white, wizard of neon and rainbow he, a trend might be nigh.

So imagine, a white denim skirt,

and maybe a linen shirt with volume?

Orange Birkenstocks? (only one size left, on sale)

Or if we do have spring, or can at least might hope for some non-furnace summer days, hand on heart I would love a white boiler suit,

with white sneakers I already own, always a plus in these kind of schemes. And a colored bag.

For those of you less committed to Tomboy Chic than is your quixotic narrator, tapered white ankle pants,

never go amiss. But the top has to be white too. I’m only going to be happy if we’re head-to-toe. Maybe this. A little collarbone with a side of ankle.

Do you have any warm weather clothing impulses? Hunches? Considered plans for only incremental purchases that will instantly make everything in your closet more wearable and appealing?

LMK, as we say online! And have an absolutely wonderful weekend.
