White & Stripes

My style M.O. has been all about low-key comfort this summer, and the super-casual separates in my closet have been taking over weekend wardrobe status.

… And, okay, they’ve staked a claim as occasional office attire, too.

In the quest to curate more of a minimalist wardrobe this year, my sartorial checklist has been nothing but form, fit and functionality. Since I don’t want to totally sacrifice style for comfort, though, I’ve been experimenting in head-to-toe hues for a higher-impact look. What’s more refreshing than look that’s all-white?

If you’re donning the white jeans and t-shirt duo to the office like I have been (I’m lucky to work in a creative environment), tuck your tee into those skinny jeans for a more streamlined look. Contrasting accents (a la canvas espadrilles) will add polish to your ensemble, too.

Now, beware those coffee and ketchup stains! I’m sticking to the likes of water and tea today… I swear to you, Murphy’s Law dictates that colored liquids can’t help but find their way to my lap when I’m wearing all-white. The worst!

It’s a big day in my offline life (more on this to come), so I’m keeping it short-and-sweet for today. Hope you had a nice weekend!

  1. I swear, white is an absolute magnet for spillage. I was wearing a white tank top a couple days ago while eating blueberry waffles (I know, I know… rookie mistake), and of course, in one bite I managed to rupture 3 berries and splatter blue-purple juice alllll over my front. Cool. Luckily nothing has happened to my white jeans yet! Now watch me spill coffee in my lap in 3…2…1…
