WHITE ON WHITE: WHAT TO WEAR

"The only completely stationary object in the room was an enormous couch on which two young women were buoyed up as though upon an anchored balloon. They were both in white, and their dresses were rippling and fluttering as if they had just been blown back in after a short flight around the house." The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald 

White on white fashion always reminds me of the fabulous Mrs. Daisy Buchanan. The Great Gatsby is one of my favorite novels, particularly due to F. Scott Fitzgerald's magnificent use of symbolism.  Throughout novel Daisy's character is carefully built up with white's associations to purity, light, and innocence.  Her memorable first appearance is at the Buchanan house, as she lounges in her billowing white dress.  Breezy, clean, and cool this is the perfect fashion inspiration for any summer day.
