Wearing Winter White
Similar White Dress || Fleece-Lined Tights || Heels ($50 off with code BAKATIE50) || Circle Handbag || Beret || Pearl Earrings
Okay, I’ll be the first to admit how wildly impractical this outfit is. After all, walking in heel in several inches of snow is never easy. I was all dressed up with no where to go in rural Vermont, but simply loved the affect. It’s all thanks to this gorgeous white dress I ordered from Gal Meets Glam.
Especially after living in New York, I find it to be a little intimidating to wear a full white ensemble. With great risks comes great rewards. I felt positively angelic in this dress. Although more of a cream color instead of a true white, it was so flattering with its tiered hem and fitted sleeve. I’m almost inspired to order it in every color!
I think the trick to pulling off an all white dress in the dead of winter truly comes down to the accessories. Contrasting black leggings from Shopbop not only made for a striking statement, but the fleece lining kept me warm against the cold Vermont air. My dainty Daily Edited circle blag and heels from Sarah Flint make this outfit more ready for the concrete jungle instead of the forest.
Be honest, is the grey beret a little much? I had mixed feelings about it at first, but ending up loving the Parisian aesthetic it added to a simplistic outfit. Maybe I liked it because it helped me stay warm, but it’s mostly because I’ve been daydreaming about France. I loved wearing it during the NYC winter and won’t have as many opportunities in Florida.
Another option for the all-white winter comes in the form of the cozy and classic, sweater-jeans combo. I picked up this cream cable knit sweater from Vineyard Vines in the fall and it’s still one of my favorite pieces of the season. Paired with my trusty white jeans from J. Crew and nude Ferragamo heels, and I have a casual look that still looks incredible. Wearing monochromatic colors are a surefire way to look chic.
So whether it’s before or after Labor Day, on a summer day or in the middle of winter, wearing all white makes quite a statement. Especially in the winter, it comes down to wearing strong, but simple accessories that compliment. How would you style a white dress this season?
Love from Florida,
