i'm madly in love with white right now. since 2008 clocked over, i've bought everything white non-stop! from white scarves and bandanas (x5), sunglasses (x2), bonds tanks (x20+), havaianas (x4) and over a dozen white dresses in all different styles. why the sudden obsession with white? i've never been a fan of white before, why now? i tried to weigh up the pros and cons of white: pros: white goes great with anything, it's smart and can pull off casual as well, it looks so relaxed when you team it up with jeans and most importantly, its simple. i've been a firm believer in "less is more", it's something i've tried to incorperate in almost everything i wear. now, the cons: i honestly couldn't think of anything else besides that white gets dirty really easily. my new found love and appreciation for white came to ahead when i was doing my laundry. one saturday morning before my morning run, i remember starting up three loads of black clothing before i set out the door. and then later on during that week i remember going through all my black clothing to find one particular top and just couldn't find it. i remember thinking to myself, "i own way too many black clothes .. its just impossible to find anything!" that, and i've almost turned gothic. if it weren't for my bright pink lipstick tradmark, i'd definitely be mistaken for someone who worships satan, listens to dark music and quite possibly practises self harm. not for me. not by a long shot! so, it just so happens.. after almost 23 years of taking white for granted, i could say that i'm a fan of white. hell, i'd wear white pants if i liked them enough! just recently though, i've started taking a liking to navy blue, in stripped form in particular. watch this space, i bet this will be just as big as the white phase.
