How to Wear "Brights with Whites" with Ageless Style

Ageless Style is a monthly style challenge and link up for women of all ages. Each month we pick a different theme and style an outfit based on that theme. This month's theme is "Brights with Whites" and was chosen by Mirelle.

I love wearing white in summer so I was thrilled with this month's theme, because one of my favorite ways to wear white is to pair it with brights. White actually goes with anything, but I especially love it with bright, hot colors in the summer.

For this challenge, I chose a shirt with just a little bit of white in it so it would blend with the skirt more. I've shown this top to you last year in THIS POST where I teamed it with a blue chambray skirt. This time I'm pairing it with my white jersey knit skirt from Blair. I've never bought anything from this company before, but I was looking for a new white skirt because my old one got a stain on it. So I googled "white skirts" and this one popped up on my feed for around $3.00 (sorry, not that low price anymore but it's still a great deal at $12.49). How could I resist that price? 😀 I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived because it was nice and thick so it wasn't see-thru (a huge problem with most white skirts/pants) and it had built-in shorts inside! That's a great plus when chasing grandkids!

This shirt has such bright, neon colors in it. I could tell when I purchased it that the sales clerk thought I was cuckoo for buying this shirt, but I knew exactly how great it was gonna look with other items in my closet, and I was right! 😀 It actually has 3/4 sleeves elastic sleeve which I push up above my elbow. I love the lower neckline and the longer length of the top so I can tie it in a knot. The fabric is very lightweight so it's cool and comfy.

I paired my outfit with white jewelry. My necklace is broken pieces of white sea shells, and I wore white hoop earrings.

For footwear, I chose a teal blue pair of old sneakers for comfort. There is teal in the shirt, so the shoes paired perfectly.

This was a super cool and comfy outfit for running errands and to wear to church. I love outfits like this which are dressy, yet comfy at the same time.
