Winter White

The goods:
• black top from Mikkat Market
• jacket from UO
• jeans and clutch from Forever21
• two tone pumps from Zara
• cocktail ring from Lori's Shoes
• wrap watch by La Mer
• initial necklace from Stitch, vintage gold and rhinestone necklace

I love my collection of vintage etiquette books, especially the outdated "rules" they outline. Wearing white in winter used to be considered a big fashion no-no, but these light jeans are a clean, crisp alternative to regular denim and my go-to black pants. Paired with darker items and the appropriate shoes, white jeans can be worn year round. I grabbed this hot pink clutch from Forever21, a sweet seven-dollar accessory to punch up this black and white ensemble.
