Stripes and Statements

I love wearing white jeans, there is no better statement than the stark contrast between white, and basically any color. I chose a pair of Old Navy white pants that I rolled into capris with a Gap cross key-hole back tank (remember it from my Shopping (with Super Savings) post?).

I wore my favorite pair of sandals (also in my Shopping post, from Gap) with all gold accessories (Kate Spade bangle, one of my mom's old gold chain and diamond bracelets, an Alex & Ani bbangle, and my MET ring).

My other statement piece was this pink and gold stone necklace from my New York trip necklace haul. I thought that it was a good tie-together piece with the white diamonds going with my white accented shirt, and white pants.

 Little story-- as I was taking these pictures with my tree, so much bark was coming off and getting all over me (it was everywhere when I went inside!!). For one of the pictures, I was leaning on the tree, and because I take it with a self  timer I had to race over to the tree so I could pose before it went off. It was really hot out, and my feet were getting sweaty... long story short, as I was posing, my feet were on the roots of the tree, and I ended up slipping down the tree because my feet slipped in my shoes on top of the roots!!

My style tip/advice of the day is whenever you wear a pattern, make sure to offset it with neutral tones that complement/contrast it, and don't overpower your pattern!
