Summer Whites

I was sitting at a flag football game in May when it was that insanely hot weekend and wearing a black t-shirt. I was hot and sweaty and grumpy. One of my friends looked at me and said, “aren’t you burning up in that outfit?” I was. I actually felt like I was on fire. Clearly, a black t-shirt was not my wisest choice for a sunny day.

When the temperature rises, there is a reason clothing tends to switch to a lighter color palette. It is just too dang hot not to do so. But here’s the problem: I don’t wear a lot of color. So, when it comes time to switch, I tend to pick white or cream. I know, not very exciting, but it makes summer dressing simple. And, isn’t summer supposed to be about being relaxed and easy? So, here are some of my favorite picks for summer that will help me get through these hot and humid days.

Owner | The Hive and The Shoe Hive

I spent the first part of my career as a copywriter who helped elected officials brag about their support for entrepreneurs. Then I decided to get off the printed page and do it myself. The Shoe Hive made a splash on the fashion scene in Washington, and was named the region’s best shoe store in its first year. Fourteen years later, I have tripled the store’s size and also opened a sister store, The Hive.  At The Hive, we offer clothing lines that are sophisticated and approachable like Rag & Bone, Tibi, Raquel Allegra, Ulla Johnson and Veronica Beard. We have tried to fill our racks with clothing you will want to wear all the time, elevated basics that are worth the investment.
