Whimsical White

Is white the new black? It sure seems so when looking at the way white dominated the Spring 2011 runway. But the top fashion designers aren't just mixing white with brights like usual....this year the models are wearing ALL white.

Now this may seem effortless....why not just pick out several white items, put them on, and be on your way? But wearing the same of just one color is actually harder than trying to match different colors.

Confusing? No worries! By using Versace's all white runway look (shown left) as a guide, you can sport an effortless, fashionable, subtle, and best of all, affordable all-white look.

This leather jacket is a great and versatile piece that can add to your white look. With an all-white look, it is important to mix and match fabrics since you aren't mixing and matching colors or pattern--and the leather on the jacket is perfect for this! When you're done with this look, this jacket easily converts to several NEW outfits because it can easily be thrown over a dress for the cool spring nights or a cami or a tank top (as shown). Cute details like the lace up sides and the zipper pockets break up the monotony of white!

Even though the Versace model is wearing heels, anyone who has walked around a college campus all day knows that this is not a practical option. Instead, opt for some neutral, pewter colored flat sandals to add a little flare to your all-white look while staying comfy throughout the day!
