How Many is Too MANY?!

First I have to admit I am a little obsessed, or should I say addicted to a few things in my life.

Today I am only going to talk about one of them, “White Pants!”

Let me ask you all, how many white pants should a person have in their wardrobe?

I just got through purging and putting in my summer clothes since summer finally arrived here and there is no doubt it is hot weather for the next few months.

I actually did not realize I had so many until I finished my ironing.The frightening part is I can totally justify each and every pair!!! There in lies the problem. Intellectually I am almost sure I have too many, but I can seem to justify each and every pair.

Let me show you what is in my closet......

Isn’t that a danger zone?! You know what I mean? We are running out of room for more and yet we keep getting more. Omgosh, is this how hoarding begins.

You tell me! How many pairs of white pants do you have, and how many do think is too many?

I have:

2 pair of white jeans
3 casual cotton
2 linen
2 crop
2 Bermuda shorts
3 walking shorts
1 denim skirt

That equals= 15 white bottoms!!!

I need to either feel totally exonerated, or totally guilt ridden into purging some more and not buying one more pair of white pants. The white walking shorts I bought on line today can’t count, Okay!!!

“Enjoy the Process” Of:

Collecting white pants!!!

I know! I can add a little red with my classic blue and white porcelain. Not typical, but understated and elegant, I like that.

Talk about being patriotic?! Wow!! I doubt that I would ever do this, but it sure is fun to look at.

A little red and white toile mixed with some blue plates would be another classic look for my home. Red toile napkins or a runner would be perfection.

I am loving this ottoman with the Lucite legs. This room shows red, white and blue done in a classic way.

Navy walls when used with lots of white trim is stunning.

What shall we eat?........

We have to have the all American hot dog for part of the meal. I need a clever way to display them…….

This is a pretty cute idea. The hot dogs can make the stripes and homemade star potato chips will be perfect in the corner on a blue plate. I am not big fan of plastic dishes so I will probably use a white platter and a cobalt glass plate. The kiddos will get a kick out of this!!

Fun drinks for the adults, or make them non-alcoholic drinks for the kiddos.

Lots of fresh fruit will be refreshing. This is a fun way to add a patriotic flare!!!
