I always love the idea of an all white outfit but I rarely go for it. Why? Although unofficially diagnosed, I do have a fear of stains. Yes I know they can come out (although an extra rainy Lollapalooza day 3 last year left me with perma-mud stains on my white culottes) but I do find them to be the ultimate buzzkill. I have to get over it though, and I did today. I’ve done all white once for summer, but now I’m giving it a go for spring…
Damn it feels good to lighten things up, literally. It’s so…fresh and so clean [clean].
WHAT (am I wearing):
Coat: Vince. Sweatshirt: Acne Studios. Jeans: Current/Elliott. Sunglasses: Sunday Somewhere. Shoes: 3.1 Phillip Lim. Earring: Alison Lou. Belt: J. Crew.
WHY (am I wearing it):
This look is quite different for me, as I wear a lot of black, regardless of the time of year (which has now become quite inconvenient considering my white dog sheds like crazy…love him to death though). This all really started with the jeans, as I’ve been on the hunt for white boyfriend jeans the last year or two, and I can never find the perfect pair. Depending on your shape, boyfriend jeans don’t always look like boyfriend jeans if you catch my drift (like sometimes they are actually skinny jeans on me and I’m like WHAT BOYFRIEND WOULD EVER WEAR THESE?!) As much as I rave about Frame Denim, I do love Current/Elliott (mostly because I can go down a size or two and that’s always a great feeling). Because I rarely wear white pants, I wasn’t sure what else to pair with them. So I figured…let’s keep going with this. I got that Acne sweatshirt in LA a few months ago (and already wore it here). It’s the perfect weight to wear right now as it’s not all that warm just yet. I wanted to break it up with another neutral, which is where the grey coat comes in. Lastly, when it comes to metals, I’m in gold a majority of the time BUT I do like to mix them. So I opted for silver shoes / sunglasses + a gold belt and jewelry. Whoever said you can’t wear gold and silver together…IS FULL OF IT.
With that said, enjoy the weekend friends!

Gap Outlet has some white boyfriend jeans for 40-ish percent off, plus Gap Cash is happening later this month, too. Super bargain & not quite as much heartache is you sit in something on the bus.
