How to wear white in winter…

Sarah wrote to me and wanted to know how she could incorporate some of her white clothing in the colder months without breaking any fashion rules. The good news is that for all intents in purposes, the rules have been pretty much thrown out the window. There’s no hard and fast rule that says that you can only wear certain shades of white. Your plain basic white is fine. The trick is in how you wear it- meaning that you have to anchor it with darker, more winter appropriate colors. We’re giving you some examples below. Hope this helps you out, Sarah!

    This is great! Thank you so much. I’ll be playing dress-up tonight with my darks and my lights. :)
