This was my pin that inspired the creation of Bright White Topknots. In the original image, her silver earrings looked white to me. Or I was hallucinating the future? Anyway, I was smitten, declaring all-white my summer uniform.

Hop on the monochrome bandwagon with me, y'all. I know summer has come and gone (too quickly, as it often does) but that doesn't mean we have to abandon monochrome inspired looks OR rocking white — forget the "no white after Labor Day" nonsense.

This weekend, throw on white jeans, a breezy blouse, some Bright White Topknots and leather sandals for an effect that's fresh, slimming (fact!), and just plain cool. Bonus: carry a dark bag for high contrast edge.

The 80-degree-weather in Charleston is still taunting me with shorts and dresses, not quite lending itself to wearing pants just yet. So, when pants are a no-go, slink into a scrappy white mini dress and counterbalance all your sexiness with a handsome hat.

Channel your inner 'starlit hiding from paparazzi at Cannes Film Festival' by sashaying in an elegant white frock with black-accented accessories. J'adore this look!
