wow,

I was born after 1958, but my Mom wasn't :)

Interestingly there is a whole choice of "winter white" out there for the colder climes. Of course, NYC is firmly set on the black, black, black and seems to ignore the trends of the more fun designs that let a little color into life! Thousands of years ago everyone had at least one little black dress and now their closets are filled with them! I really do wear what I am comfortable in when on vacation. I am sure that no one will be tisk, tisk, tisking if you have a wonderful white linen outfit even after labor day if you feel good about wearing it. Give it up and do what you want - it is vacation after all and all rules are OFF! BTW, there isn't one thing white in the Armani Collezioni!
