Right about now everything winter starts to feel a little bleak. Do you know what I mean?
Feeling drab is usually a January/February sensation in the northern hemisphere.
I open my wardrobe doors every morning, drag out yet another black sweater and think to myself, I need to re-work this.
I need something lighter, I need a neutral to enhance my overall look and demeanour.
I notice I am wearing red lipstick more often. Yes I love red lips but I think the red is more of a reaction to the time of year than an actual style statement.
Don’t misunderstand I adore black.
Black pants, black skirts, black coats, black sweaters, black dresses; black is my staple and go to with every piece.
It is my wardrobe constant.
Right now I am tired of the all-black. As I have added a little floaty and feminine, I have also added winter white and soft neutrals to my outfits.
Wearing this new sweater, this ivory cable knit is super cosy and has really lifted my “fashion” spirits.
You might wonder what these images have to do with a winter white addition to the wardrobe. I don’t know exactly why but when I saw these shots they made me feel like getting into winter whites. Ideas and inspirations come from all sources, I don’t question them, I try and run with them. Why interiors and landscapes shape my fashion choices, I will never understand. It has always been that way.
I have come around to the white jeans in winter with the dark accessories and vice versa. Where I once would wear all white or all black, now I am searching for the contrast.
Blame the dull days and grey skies… xv
