Fashion Friday - Everyone needs a pair of white pants!

I have been slightly under the weather lately, allergies in the south are on another level. I, also, hit some writer's block. There wasn't anything I was dying to share or anything I could think of to get my inspiration moving. Today, while I was online window shopping, you know, when you add all the things you want to your cart but don't actually order any of it. It might be something only I do, but it keeps me from spending unnecessary money.

I realized my cart was full of gray and white, which started me thinking about what I have worn the last few days. Its all gray and white. So, I figured why not share my favorite gray and white outfit ideas. At least one day every week you can find me wearing a variation of this outfit, mostly because I currently only have one gray v-neck t-shirt. I might have to go grab some more.

I try not to abide by fashion "rules", frankly I feel like if you like it wear it, who cares what other people have to say about it. I don't think anyone should save white pants for between Memorial and Labor Day. I also think everyone should have a pair of white bottoms that they feel great in, whether it be pants, crops, shorts or a skirt. I do think fabric choices come in to play for the season, but other than that go for it.

I realized today, I have white denim in shorts, crops, and flares. Basically, I have a white option for any situation and I am totally OK with that. White pants will make any tan look better and always make your bum look rounder. And lets be real, who doesn't love those things.

I put together a few outfits that include a plain gray v-neck t-shirt, mine happens to be from Target because they are my favorite, and each of my white bottoms.




Jewelry: Monogram and Wedding Date Necklace, Alex and Ani Bracelets

This is the outfit you can find me in all of the time, or at least some variation of it. Its comfortable but still seems put together. It is already hot and humid in the south, so shorts are one of the things I grab for first. I can always count on being cold indoors, pretty much anywhere we go. I try to either have a cardigan with me or this jean jacket. I am, almost, positive this jean jacket is from the 6th grade but it has stuck around. Thanks for buying it, Mom!  A jean jacket is one of those items that is always good to have around. This is my first pair of Sperry's  and I have no idea how I lasted this long without them. These shoes are so comfortable and great for walking around. The jewelry is my everyday jewelry, if I cant decide what to wear I just wear this and it seems to work. It is my monogram necklace, a Stella & Dot bar necklace with my wedding date on it ( a Christmas gift from my best friend, and my Gemini bangle and my Crown bangle. These Alex and Ani bangles are always on my wrist, I think they go with everything and I got them as gifts from special people in my life so I like to wear them.

This outfit is a little more dressed up, but these jeans from Express are ones I keep grabbing. I just recently started wearing Express jeans and I might only buy jeans from them from now on. I have reached a point in my life, where I have too much booty to be wearing low-rise jeans, I like to keep it covered. I am always trying to find the perfect style and fit in jeans. Express' mid-rise might be it, I now have 2 pairs of mid-rise in 2 different styles and I want to wear them all of the time. I think cognac accessories bring just the right amount of warmth to the cool tones of the white and gray.

This last outfit brings in my current obsession with flare jeans. I know its the 70s circling back around and I couldn't be more in love with it! Flare jeans look great on anyone with a booty, it balances the backside. I think it makes me look taller, but that could be the 4 inch heels I wear with them. I just love a flare jean with a great shoe peaking out when you are walking. I added my favorite bracelets and hoop earrings, with a cotton infinity scarf. This can easily become a wrap in case I get chilly. Nothing is better than something that can be an accessory but also has a purpose.

I think each outfit has a good basic foundation but any of the accessories can be moved around to make all kinds of options. I think its best to work with a good base that makes you feel comfortable and build on it from there. I can go from the grocery store to a night on the town with a simple accessory change and I love things like that.

Hope this gave you some spring, summer or any time of the year outfit inspiration. I like to have outfits like this for the times I don't feel like thinking about putting something together, it makes for an easy grab and go! 

What are your grab and go outfits, that make you feel like a million bucks?

The adventure continues...
