Style Perspectives: in white

[dropcap]I[/dropcap] loved seeing all the great shades of pink looks last week and especially the awesome people taking part on Instagram #theblendedblogstyle.  I'm going to feature some of my favourite Instagram looks next week, me thinks.





So, this week, the white pant, hey? My white pants are hidden high in the confines of my closet because snow, mud, white pants and Saskatchewan isn't a combo one would normally put together.  But in the spirit of awesome and because spring is knocking at our door, I decided to take them out and put them back into the rotation.  Why not.  I really like the some of the white looks I've seen with whites paired with creams and have seen some really beautiful looks put together by bloggers (see All the Cute here and Doused in Pink's here) Also- they are both Chicago based bloggers...interesting.   I then decided that my white look would be an homage to the coming of spring.  And also the Blue Jays, because I can. And I did try to take some pictures outdoors but failed miserably.  Let me explain.....

I just wasn't happy with those pictures.  Mostly because it was one of those days where EVERYTHING is going wrong and there was a creepy guy with a hugeass camera in camouflage taking pictures of birds, and he was creeping me out, so I had to give up my photoshoot and get other errands done instead.  When I got home, I felt inspired, having just changed some of our house décor to look more springy. So I staged a spring photo shoot in our great room and had a blast doing it.  A little bit about my outfit inspiration first.  I was watching my current fave show, Jane the Virgin and loved this outfit that Petra sported.  Actually, come to think of it, I love the grey and white that Jane is wearing too.  Some other time....in the meantime, I attempted to create Petra's blue and white (as a side note, we refer to this colour as Christy Blue because of what Christy always wears)



 

My look:

And because everything is old and unfindable, here's what I would get now if I was going to recreate the look:
