how to wear: white pants

We seem to have a love/hate relationship with white pants. On one hand, we love them because they are perfect for those warm spring or summer days when wearing a dark color is just not appealing. On the other hand, we fear the inevitable: spilling our morning coffee on them, showing our panty lines and then some…
So, what if I were to say that our fear of wearing white pants is unfounded? Honestly, when was the last time you spilled coffee on yourself? Or when you purposely wore your black panties instead of a flesh-toned thong? Not too often, eh?
Well then, say hello to the white cotton pant. Comfy, lightweight and cool. Wear with a long print tunic, a colorful top, or as I show here…more white! <gasp> But, let’s be reasonable, wear them for appropriate activities — that doesn’t mean finger-painting with the kids.
