Last week I featured this winter white outfit on Instagram (@helengreenwell ) when I wore it to work with over-the-knee boots.  The boots were fun and gave the sleek look a bit of a casual vibe.  In retrospect this look probably works better with pumps, which is why I featured them here.  If boots create a laid-back look, pumps suggest sophistication.

I shopped my closet for these pieces; they’re all things I’ve owned for at least a year, probably more.  My goal was to create a cohesive look with winter white pieces of differing textures.  You don’t have to have a suit to create a unified look of separates.  Go to your closet and pull out all your winter white pieces.  You may be surprised how easily you can put together a similar look with things you already own.

If you can’t create the total combination but you’d like to, I’ve linked options above and below.  Nothing is a matched set; the fun is in putting together unmatched pieces related by their color.  Have you tried it?  What worked for you?  What would you do differently?  I’d love to read about it.

Thanks so much for visiting!
