I need more outfits that require no thought. When I’m staring blurry eyed at my closet of clothes that don’t quit fit I want to get in & get out as fast as possible. Pattern mixing? Not a chance. White top, white pants? Done.
Wearing all white is a bit scary as a mom (hello, messy fingerprints!). But after extensive testing, I can definitively say that white hides spit up quite well.
How to Wear All White
- Pick pieces in a classic cut (think Audrey Hepburn). You can’t go wrong with a classic button up or white jeans.
- Use a white outfit as a canvas for statement accessories. Necklaces especially, but also fun sunglasses, bright shoes or bags.
- Combine white with a bit of navy for a classic sailor style, or you can go for something unexpected, like pairing it with cream or nude.
- And if you’re unsure about wearing so much white at the same time, throw on a colorful scarf to put you back in your comfort zone.
- And please, please wear nude underwear.
Get the Look
Shirt – H&M | Dress – Asos | Blazer – J Crew | Hat – BCBG
You can get several outfits with just a few basic white pieces. A lightweight blazer is a great way to get the look because you can layer with whites already in your closet.
Is this a look moms can pull off without a bleach pen nearby? Share your white-wearing tips!
I don’t think I own anything that’s all white! I’m not sure why, because I do like white, I guess I just don’t gravitate towards it when I’m shopping…
I think it’s the whole fear of getting it dirty thing … I bought a cream wool coat one year and it was a nightmare to keep clean.
I actually don’t think I own a single piece of white clothing now that I think about it! So strange! Oh wait, I do have white tank tops and 1 white t-shirt.
maybe you should add some shorts or a skirt to your wardrobe for starters!
i have been wanting to try this look all summer
everytime i think to wear it i realize i am probably going somewhere where my pristine white outfit will not stay white
perhaps i will just have to dress in all white and sit around reading and watching tv! :)

haha, you should consider some sort of sophisticated getaway, where you don’t need to get anything done! :)
Chanced upon your blog and enjoy reading it!
thanks! I hope to see you again soon :)
I love wearing all white. Great inspiration and tips!
Yes, and white is so much cooler in the 100 degree weather than all black! It always makes me feel like I’m at the beach too :)
i love all white – so classic

agreed – it’s classic and sophisticated, but still easy to wear!
