Chambray My Way

I was scrolling through Pinterest when I saw a fun white jeans and white stripes outfit that inspired this outfit; I did make mistake of not completely thinking this through and wore this on a day I had lasagna for lunch, but I’m happy to report that there were no accidents and my jeans are still white. {Talk about #winning}

I went on a major closet cleaning kick last weekend: I pulled every single clothing item out of my closet and then went through, decided if I really needed/wanted to keep it and then put back the items I did want to keep. I currently have a huge pile of donate/sell/Goodwill on my floor, but I’m happy to have cut out some of the items that needed to go. I honestly love this idea of “giving up” forty items of clothing for the forty days of Lent, but knew I’d be horrible about keeping track as the days went by.  For me, a one time big purge was the effective way to hold myself accountable.

All white seemed a little “bleh” at first so I decided to go with a casual vibe by tying my chambray shirt around my waist. I love that this one has pin dots to add a fun print mix to the outfit.  

I love how bright white is and have been trying to steer away from dark colors lately; brights make me happy and I feel like I’ve constantly needed to remind myself that spring is coming {one day}. I opted for colorful accessories with my mint bib necklace and Longchamp tote, and of course this week’s mani is one of the fun new colors from OPI’s new spring/summer collection.
  

My leopard loafers were the natural choice for this; I love how the pattern really stands out when worn with white jeans and it was the right print to add some character without being too crazy.
