Summer outfit inspiration

Outfitspiration. I have realized the last month or so that my summer wardrobe is lacking in style and well generally lacking in everything. Mainly because this is the first summer I’ve seen in 4 years and I’ve all but tossed most of my warm weather ware. So here are some looks to help inspire:

Don’t call me White

It will eventually be summer, it has to be, so while my skin is a lovely shade of translucent at the moment I do believe it will some day soon be shimmery and sunkissed (albeit fake sunkissed but gotta use the spf). So when that day comes I want to be able to show it off the best way I know how, by wearing white of course so here are some great white picks (via Refinery29)
