White has always been a tricky color. It always looks crisp and clean in the magazines and yet when we buy white, here is what tends to happen: Situation 1: We vow to take care of it, washing it only with other whites. Then reality sets in and due to lack of time or just plain laziness, they end up in the wash with your hot pink underwear or those never before washed dark denim jeans. This then turns your white into either a pale pink, or a light shade of smog.

Think how simple life is now that it is fashionably acceptable to go to our own wedding in flats(be sure you have long legs and/or a flattering dress), or to a job interview...or even, dare I say, to the mall (...
