The best answer I found was this: "This fashion "rule" came about when heat was provided by burning coal and other ash producing items. Lots of soot and ash does not wear well with white."
And so it makes sense that back in the day the girls didn't want to get their prairie dresses dirty. Good thing we all have heaters now and we can wear white all we want.

And on a different "color" note, every time I look at my nails this week I think of mint-n-chip ice cream.

Oh my gosh, your hair is GORGEOUS! Don't cut it ever:) I agree about the "rules" of fashion, they are old fashioned and not relevant. You look great!
ReplyDeletetotally like the combination with purple the nail color and the necklace altogether!
