Fashion traditionalists state that you're not supposed to wear white after Labor Day, and it's never been clear when wearing the color is "allowed" again. Memorial Day, perhaps? Regardless, that's rubbish! (Isn't
rubbish such a funny word?) These days, white is A-OK even in cold months. There's even a name for it: "winter white." I just bought these white jeans and have already worn them twice. To keep things seasonally appropriate, I paired them with a grey wool blazer and an
ironic graphic tee. Cream-colored bottoms are another option if bright-white feels too bold. If you're on the fence about whether you can pull of white in February, go for it! And feel free to enjoy that naughty twinge of pride from breaking the (style) rules.

Hi, Ruby! I'm absolutely brand new to blogging but I've been around the STL scene for a little bit now and know a couple of the faces. I found your blog via the STLFW "Bloggers of STLFW" page.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this look! I have a pair of white oxfords that would look smashing with an all-white get up. Thanks for the inspiration! I hope to see you out sometime!
xoxo,
Jill
Hi Jill, thanks so much for your comment! White oxfords sound super cute. I hope to see you around too! Welcome to St. Louis!
