Fifty Shades of White

I'm sorry with this post title I couldn't help myself... But in truth white, cream, ivory, beige--all neutrals across the board are emerging as a new and fresh spring trend this year.  Or, in other words it's the latest take on minimalism, which never really stops being stylish, but goes through iterations year after year.  In other, other words "Keep Calm and Neutral On"

 This looks has a military-esque style going on (another big trend this season) with it's bomber-like jack and overall sense of utility. 



 Here's a boho take on this year's minimalism, with a loose silhouette and embroidery for a light and airy feel--very spring indeed! 



Exaggerated shapes from the Olsen Twins' label with some sex appeal in the plunging neckline. 



 This version of minimalism takes and architectural bent with angled hems for separates. 



Here we have some sophisticated whimsy, mixing the functional (that front pocket) with the romantic cutaway sleeves and hemline.

These are just a few examples of all-over neutral looks from the runway. And I think you can see how this year's minimalism is quite versatile. You can make it work regardless of your personal style, which is the ideal trend--the ability to have it be personalized, but still stylistically on-point! 

Here are a few options for bringing shades of white into your look this spring!

Annie Lennox Realness!

Love the tuxedo detail of these cropped pants. coat/pants-Jcrew(similar here and here ), blazer-Zara(similar here ), shirt-Asos(sort of similar here ), shoes-DSW(really cool here ), gloves-Brian Atwood for Neiman Marcus/Target(more gloves here ), sunglasses-Banana Republic(similar here ) I'm feeling very Annie Lennox circa Eurythmics in this outfit, eh? Most times wearing a coat is a necessity, not necessarily an intricate part of the outfit, but here it really makes the look. And even though the blazer is covered up the hints of it, almost like a lining, work break up an all grey/white look.  And now for your viewing pleasure  Sweet Dreams:   Have a great weekend!

Hamptons-Poolside-Chic meets Sue Ellen Ewing Early '80's Realness

Okay, this post title is ridiculous I know, BUT come on, it's accurate am I right? blouse- JOA via Le Tote , necklace/bracelet- Le Tote , trousers- Zara , belt-J.Crew,(similar here ) wedges- Sole Society These pleated drapey pants scream early 80's glamour. Paired with this sailor-suit-esque blouse I was definitely ready for a seaside cocktail party, right? This outfit also called to mind the elegance of early 80's  Dallas .  It has been my experience that as a child of the 80's one's house was either in the Dallas camp or the Dynasty camp. We were a Dallas household for sures. So, one of my earliest style influences was Sue Ellen Ewing . Despite the pills, the booze, the philandering husband, and lost potential of a life on her own terms Miss Sue Ellen kept it quite fierce especially in the early years of the show.  Here she is serving up sternum-baring chic!  I tried to watch the reboot of the series on TNT, but I just couldn...

Cowboy Boots & Floral Skirts

Western wear has seen a resurgence here with the Cowboy Carter of it all, among other influences. I'm not one for cowgirl cosplay, but I do enjoy a good boot. Here I've styled by western boots with a mixed print autumnal outfit.  Blazer-- Luciano Barbera via Threadflip(now defunct), henley-Gap(similar here ), shirt-Uniqlo(similar here ), skirt- Amazon , boots-Coconuts via DSW(similar here ), necklace/bracelet- Slide Jewelry , ring/necklace-Ana Luisa(similar here and here ) I last featured these boots in a spring/summer look here . And I styled them with this same skirt back in April here . While this top is part of a "matching set" featured here  I'm doing the classic styling hack of "breaking it up" and the olive green coordinates with the skirt. You can watch my reel of the cinching drawstring features of this shirt here .  Again I'm wearing the promotional Slide Jewelry set.
