Anatomy of an Outfit: Winter White

Wearing white after labor day is a tricky business... Not because it's against the rules, (it's not) but because you have to pair it with fabrics, colors and cuts that make it season-appropriate. My favorite new way to wear it? Skinny white jeans, paired with layers of cozy black knits and some sexy black boots. But beware... this look is not for the faint-hearted (or those over a size 6.)
So go find the white jeans you stashed at the back of your closet... Don't have a pair left over from summer?? These Levi's Skimmer Jeans are on sale for $58.98.










Then pick any of these cozy cardigans and throw it over a comfy black long-sleeved tee. Add a belt if things get too slouchy and a scarf if it's really chilly. But remember, the look is loose to balance out the proportion of those drainpipe white jeans...
























And lastly.... add some black boots. Booties or knee-highs. Either works. Grab a slouchy black bag, and then head for the door, because you have one absolutely fabulous, totally put together, surprisingly simple, fun fall outfit.
