I’m always looking to get more mileage out of the clothes in my closet. It particularly feels like a win when I can wear “seasonal favorites” throughout the year.
Take summer’s favorite white jeans; a creamy color with a perfectly wide leg, begging to show off your pedicure when worn with a heeled wedge sandal. It’s such a shame to shelve these pants as the leaves change color.
One of the challenges I perceive in transitioning white into winter is the stark contrast between the light color and all of our dark winter pieces. And, while I do love a classically chic black and white look, sometimes the contrast can seem…well, just too black and white.
Instead, I prefer pairing white with softer neutrals, such as dove grey or a light camel color. Or, go full-on mono chrome with a topper in the white family. Your shades of white don’t have to match but should have a similar undertone (think yellow or blueish, even grey). For example, my “Icy Ecru” color jeans pair perfectly with the oatmeal/cool off-white of the sweater. Mixing various textures is also a way to add interest to an entire color look.
Winter worthy shoes can also be tricky with a white jeans. First rule (wait there are no rules)…ok, first thing to never do: wear white shoes with white pants. There may be an exception made for white suiting. Perhaps. Again, a neutral will likely go better here than the start contrast of a dark leather shoe. Basically, you want to create a long leg line with the pant and not have the eye fall to a dark shoe.
Finally, I had a bit of fun amping up my accessories. I love the return of the plaid shirt jacket and then made my purse the standout piece (it also picks up the subtle red in the plaid). However, going to a total monochrome white look is also very chic. I’ve found some inspiration via Pinterest and included a few ideas below. And now I’m on the hunt for an oversized long white coat…totally practical.

Happy Friday! Thank you for reading. Back to regularly scheduled programing around here…I hope. Thanks for sticking with me. ~Jenn
And they’re high rise (of course), which means these jeans are ultra-flattering for all of us. Sit on a curb, tie shoes, and squat without a care in the world! Plus these hold you in in all the right places, yet finish with an easy straight leg which, again…most everyone can pull off!
Ok, I’m bringing back an old favorite that I had once committed to many moons ago. I’d love to share what I’m diggin’ each Friday. But, in an effort to not overcommit and under deliver, I’m just going to start one Friday at a time. And with wide leg pants and avocado toast, so we’re starting off well!

Wouldn’t you know it? One day we just got booked for the same gig and people have been demanding that we work together ever since. Truth-be-told, she can be a bit of a diva! And if one more person asks if we’re sisters or why I don’t wear my hair curly as well, I might just…
Last weekend, I hosted a styling party solo. It was a success (and of course Kirsty attended), but it wasn’t the same. It reminded me that there is a magic to friendship. A feeling of security knowing that you have a person to support you. And when you’re together, things can be more fun. This is likely why people want us to work together too. Aside from our 4-Way Friday antics (which are always my favorite posts to write), you’ll find us this spring hosting fellow school moms for an after-party at Kirsty’s shop,
