Mr. Picks Mondays: Belated Black & White





I realize this latest installment of Mr. Picks Mondays is a few days late, but, as Wednesday was Christmas, my schedule has been all sorts of catawumpus. I've been thrown out of wack - having time off from work has allowed me to take a nap (almost) every day, lounge, have long lunches with old friends, and snuggle with my pups in the middle of the day. 
Let me just say, I'm loving having a few extra days off.

My Mr. pulled this out of the closet for me to wear. I'm really trying to "winter-ize" my white pants and wear them into winter, but they are such a mental hurdle for me! I just want to wear them with loose & flowy summer tops and sandals. I KNOW it's possible (and even chic!) to wear them in the winter, I'm just having a hard time making myself comfortable with it. Any tips?? And also, I tend to spill anything&everything on white pants, so, there's that...

Actually, let me clarify what I said above ^ My Mr. chose the polka dot top and white pants. I added the blazer, shoes, and the striped top underneath for some black & white print mixing - adds a bit of dimension, dontcha think? ;) 

polka dot top: thrifted
striped top: Express
blazer: thrifted (Target)
pants: Old Navy

  1. New reader - stopping by from Simply Lulu link up.
    First love the layered look with stripes and polka dots! Totally chic with your white pants.
    Second - I had a hard time wearing white pants in the winter also, it's funny as I read your post I had a giggle because I actually pulled mine out today and styling them with a turtleneck and collard shirt for work.
    Tip for white pants - I tend to go a little darker with my top and shoes for the winter to make them not seem so summery.
