outfit: summer whites


top: thrifted | trousers: made by me | handbag: made by me | shoes: ASOS | belt: thrifted | bracelets: secondhand and gift | Navy sweetheart pin: vintage, gift | scarf: estate sale

(Apologies about the messy fireplace hearth… But it’s hard to keep the floor clean for more than 5 minutes with the puppy! lol.) Most of these pieces you’ve seen before on the ol’ blog, but to be honest lately I’ve been relying on many of my favorite pieces to get my summer wardrobe started. I’ve been wearing a lot of bright, poppy color combinations of late, and this outfit was a rest from all that color. (Though truth be told, I had to change later that day and picked something with a bit more vibrancy!) It’s simple, but fun with the scarf and record handbag–and was nice and cool to wear that day!

Obligatory puppy shot! He was being particularly wild and fidgety that day, so the fact that I even got this slightly-blurry picture was a miracle. Maverick has gotten so big–over 45 pounds! Hard to believe he still can do a lot of growing since he’s just coming up on 6 months old. He’s pretty inseparable when SH or I are home; and honestly I can’t imagine not having him around at this point!

Wow Casey, You really look stunning! White suites you! And Maverick is really getting bigger :D
I Have to say, those trousers really look fabulous. Who knows, maybe I’ll try to make something like those in the near future. Thanks for being such an inspiration!

You look superb– super simple and super classy!

AND OH MAH GAWD MAVERICK. He’s so big! And I want to play with him (and all puppies) so bad.

That is a really nice looking outfit! That Dog is getting so big! I can see he’s trying to put your wrist in his mouth. It’s hard to imagine that one day he may not feel the need to mouth everything…..but I’m hoping.

Such an adorable outfit! You look lovely in all white. It reminds me of beach photos from the 30′s. And your puppy is sooo cute! Wish our apartment complex would allow pets.

Aw, thank you–that’s kind of the look I was hoping to emulate a bit, so this makes my day! ;)

Lovely cool and chic outfit! Though I was just saying on Debi’s blog yesterday that I can’t wear too much white, I worry I’ll spill. lol But it’s so appealing to me still!

Maverick is so adorable, I love the puppy shots! I can’t believe he can keep growing! Isn’t it amazing how quickly we can fall in love with them? :)

I always live in slight fear when I wear all-white! (Which is part of the reason I changed later in the day…) But maybe I was just feeling like living dangerously that day. haha!

Golly, all that white looks really cool, especially with the dramatic pants. I’ve never tried wearing all white.

also, PUPPY. Have you considered a puppy tag for your blog posts? Some of us might or might not have a habit of going back through old posts for puppy pictures. Ahem.

Casey June 15, 2012 at 06:11

I shall have to add a puppy tag! ;) lol.

You look adorable! Love it!
And oh my goodness, if that’s messy to you, you don’t want to see my living room ;)

There is a reason that I typically only shoot my outfit photos with that backdrop… ;) lol.

Oh love! I just went to the fabric store the other day and got summer slacks fabric (if you ever come here I’m taking you to Fabric Depot, you’ll be in heaven). I almost got white, but chose gunmetal gray/blue instead, but now I might have to go back and get white! You look perfect :)

I can’t wait to see the slacks you’re making! I think you’d put together some *amazing* outfits with white slacks–you should do it! ;)

I love love love the puppy shots!
Did you see the headband ModCloth has that consists of a fabric strip with wire inside?
I bet you can do that in a jiffy!
Have a good one!

I haven’t seen that headband–shall have to go check it out. ;)

Yes, they have a video on how to wear it in their Youtube channel and I thought of you when I saw it :)

I’d love to know what you did to the back of your hair. is it in a ponytail?

Gorgeous, as always! How brave of you to wear all white with an all black pup! I know how that goes haha! It’s the reason I don’t wear dark colors. Lots of white dog hair is usually my most abundant fashion accessory. Great bag by the way!

Casey June 15, 2012 at 06:15

Funnily enough, he doesn’t shed much! ;) (Or maybe he just hasn’t had enough really hot days in a row… lol) My mom had two black, long hair cats and I staunchly avoid wearing white anything when I’m visiting! It’s amazing how much animals can shed sometimes when you’re wearing certain colors. hehe!

Lovely outfit. Looks very sophisticated and fresh. Maverick looks like such a sweetie! I’m going to have to track down a pattern like that so I can make myself a similar pair :)

Katie June 15, 2012 at 03:11

You look lovely- I’m too messy to ever wear white. And every post I do a dog manages to photobomb me so I know the pain!

Sarah June 15, 2012 at 03:57

Maverick!!! Still adorable (and still happy to see him in the blog).
I love this white combination, it’s so glamorous and just what I imagine a 50′s starlet wearing. Wonderful with your new fringe! x
p.s. plus you made that bag!?! WOW!

What a becoming, beautiful look. Head-to-toe white can be tricky to pull off, but you’ve done it sublimely and are the absolute picture of summertime loveliness.
