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?

  20. 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.
