winter hues

Although prevailing wisdom dictates no white jeans after Labor Day, I am a big believer in winter whites--and pink and green and blue pastels. (Thankfully, I am not alone on this one, as evidenced by Hanneli Mustaparta, pictured in New York this past week.) The trick to pulling off these light springy colors right now is to ground them with black, or darker hues, so you look season-appropriate. Perhaps rotating in brighter colors might compensate for the lack of warm sunlight--or is that just positive thinking?
