I’ve been in major simplification mode for almost a year now, freeing myself of excess stuff and moving on to a new home in a new city with a much lighter load. In this new incarnation I’ve chosen to surround myself with only a few of my favorite things amidst a backdrop of soul-soothing bright white. White walls, white kitchen, white car, and yes- more often than ever before these days – white clothing. I’m sure a shrink would have a field day with me, but my arm chair analysis is very precise and a whole lot cheaper – major life changes can create major life chaos. For me, I found my calm in the eye of the storm by creating a clean, uncluttered bright white new life. Of course the occasional glass of wine hasn’t hurt either. ;)

Love the white!
Such gorgeous photos! Your dress is beautiful and I love the Fabulous sandals. Taking a step into simplicity sounds very appealing.
This is such a gorgeous dress! I love the shape and the fabric! I love white too! I would have my whole house be white if I didn’t hate cleaning so much!

Absolutely beautiful! Love the clean crisp look.
So chic and polished.
I’ve been slowly pairing down my house…but my closet? Not-so-much. I like choice.

And still ever so lovely. You’ve been missed.
So glad you’re back! I absolutely love the new look of your blog! Clean and simple is totally the aesthetics that I usually go for. I really love the idea of an all-white color palette for your house. And this lace crop top/skirt combo looks stunning on you. There is something about white that is so elegant.
Nice to see you back and looking so fierce! I absolutely love all white Rebecca Taylor two piece. It’s look so stunning and chic on you. The lace details is amazing. My friend has the exact same one but in black and it’s so fierce.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with simplifying! I’ve been really thinking about that a lot myself lately. I’ve yet to enforce it, but hey…thinking about it is the first step right?! ;) I LOVE this white set! The silhouette is to die for!

Sometimes simple speaks more volume, and this one speaks elegance and more. Lovely dress!

You look remarkablly stylish, beautiful, and at peace. I would say the new transition did you well, my dear. In my eyes, there is nothing better than a clean white slate.
This dress is perfection! How delicate and pretty! Love that you kept the whole outfit so neutral.

Your blog has such a clean and polished look… I love how big the photos are, too! Starting with a clean slate sounds nice and white is such a pure color to do it with! This all white dress is beautiful on you and perfect for the summer. Love your little clutch, too.
