White stripes....

I am really excited to do my first post for "Bloggers Do It Better." This is a new movement of amazing fashion forward bloggers who are given an assignment from creator and blogger, Pretty Shiny Sparkly,  to complete, stylishly with their own unique twist on the project. 

This week's challenge is "White Out." Working in retail, I get to see the latest "IT" trends and white is DEFINITELY  the trend of the moment. I chose a boho chic look with a trendy twist. Maxi dresses and skirts are my personal favorite trend right now so I wanted to focus my attention around this precious striped dress from Forever 21.  


I wanted to funk it up by using another favorite color trend, camel, as accessories with gold undertones. 

As soon as I heard the look was white I knew immediately I wanted to take pictures at the beach. What better place to take pictures, in a white outfit, then at the beach where the sand is powder white? It was the perfect backdrop.

This was a really fun assignment. It inspired me to show off my style a little more. I am usually not a fashion blogger who likes to blog about her personal style but this new group has given me  more confidence to share my looks.

Hope you like "White Stripes," and remember, fashion is fun, it is uniquely you

  11. I love how you threw in the gray. Gray is the new white right?

    Would love it, if you would stop by and see how a 45+ year old handles “White Out”—you might get a good chuckle anyway! See you there! http://stillblondeafteralltheseyears.com/2011/05/white-out-change-it-up-outfits-modeled-by-women-over-45/
