The Great White Way for Spring Accessories
Blogged under Apparel, Shoes and Accessories by Debi Martin on Thursday 15 May 2008

With so many vibrant colors — school bus yellows, coral oranges, wild peonies and lime greens — you could look clownish this season if you do not accessorize wisely. Perhaps you’ve already tods-d-bag-tote.jpgtried wearing black accessories with a new yellow dress — too much like shades de bumble bee? Consider white accessories like these picks from the Washington Post to tone down the volume on the season’s loud colors. But remember that less is more; if you go with too much white, people will say to you, “Oh, Nurse?….” The big white handbag with pockets galore is still, well, big. Take a look at Tod’s restyled D Bag tote (pictured) in crinkled white patent leather with topstitching and polished silver metal hardware ($1,550). This Versace tote is the white convertible you need to tool around town this spring ($3,330); it’s made of smooth deerskin and has flat shoulder straps that can be buckled at the base for backpack wear. Another trend that looks good in white and goes with everything is the skinny belt, such as these from YSL in fashionable patent leather ($196), Cole Haan ($65) or, for much less, Michael Kors ($23). Grab a pair of stylish gladiator sandals in white, like the Leonitus by Steve Madden ($90). Don’t forget the Jackie O sunglasses in white. There are several pairs on Ebay.com, including these ($9). Finally, update that tired old watch, usually made of black or brown leather, with this selection from Fossil, including the Boyfriend, with a white croco leather strap ($95). The Aqua Master ceramic diamond watch is luxurious with more than a carat of sparkling diamonds. Or go over the top with this Gucci lizard cocktail watch with pavé diamonds ($3,190). For something more whimsical, buckle on a white talking Japanese watch from FredFlare.com ($20). Instead of buying a new watch, consider just getting a new strap, such as the white calf Timex basic strap with a silver buckle ($6.95) or the Michele alligator watch strap at Nordstrom ($180).
