Just white

Today I am wearing all white. This happens very rarely, actually only when I attend a WHITE TANTRIC YOGA event, part of the Kundalini Yoga path, which has enriched my life for decades. Yogi Bhajan recommended his students to wear white because it automatically enhances your aura, the electromagnetic field by 20 inches, as it reflects the light. Therefore it increases your radiance. From 19-23 years I was wearing white exclusively. I was living in a big city and it actually felt really great and it was easy.
There are many different shades of white and today I see once more that white looks great on some people and just like any other color overpowers or undermines others. A general recommendation is not to wear a white, which is whiter than your teeth or the white of your eyes.
I started wearing more colors and even black, when I moved to CA and HI. It probably had to do with the weather and taking years to figure out American washing mashines. When I had a baby I stopped wearing white. 
What is your story with 'white' clothing?

  1. i have a lovely white shirt, very elegant with french cuffs. the only potential problem is that it has silver buttons and i wear gold jewelry - possibly clashes - but it instantly makes me much more sophisticated and mature looking. :)

    i also have a bunch of gauzy white cotton separates - perfect for the beach.
