Look of the Day: White Hot

I have been participating in Pretty Shiny Sparkley's Blogger's Do it Better challenge and I am loving how it inspires me to push myself to really look at what I have in my closet and come up with new outfits from things I already have. This week's challenge was to put together an outfit aligned with this spring's white on white trend. When I heard about the challenge I figured I would wear my cream forever lace skirt because I don't currently any white or cream pants. So I started putting my outfit together from there.

I was picturing the skirt with one of my white or cream blouses, but that didn't work. So on a whim I threw on my favorite Free People sweater and I loved how it looked. I added some white vintage earrings {courtesy of Annie} and some cream bracelets and heels. I've never been one for monochromatic outfits but I really loved how this look turned out -- it had such a powerful, yet elegant effect.

How do you feel about the white on white look? Or wearing monochromatic colors?

    I love trying blog challenges because they motive and challenge. I am a fan of white on white for sure and I think you look absolutely fabulous. You should keep that outfit in your summer "go to" arsenal.

    I think you look awesome. ALL white doesn't work on my body type :( The sweater looks chic and comfy. Hard to do!

    Thank you for your lovely comment on my bloggers do it better outfit post!
    I love what you have put together for the challenge - the sweater is gorgeous and works really well with the whole look!
    I have never tried or really thought of putting together an outfit of white on white and I am really happy I joined in as I was quite pleased with the results! The only monochromatic outfits I have ever worn were mainly black and it's nice and refreshing, seeing it on the other side of the scale.
