Day 21: Week Three

Three weeks of a white shirt!? How the heck did this happen? Ah. Ok, anyway. The weather was 10 times worse today (and I thought yesterday was bad!) so I went for the safe option of jeans. Add a cardi and there's your totally casual outfit. Add an umbrella (Everyone: optional. UK: compulsory).

Today I'm wearing:

• Topshop jeans
• Marks and Spencer's white shirt
• Floral cardigan from Kew (but a proud charity shop find of mine)

Don't forget that umbrella! (Ella,ella,ehh)

Day 20: A leopard can change it's spots

Evening! So today in England was a miserable day, weatherwise. You'd think by mid April it would be safe to bring out the pretty dresses but oh no - wet and windy is latest trend. Anyhow, I felt like wearing a skirt today - even if it isn't a floaty happy one. Better than wearing jeans in the rain, and it's a skirt that won't actually fly up with a gust of wind. Life saver. (the maxi skirt, that is...)

Today I'm wearing:

• Silk vintage shirt
• New Look leopard print maxi skirt
• Karen Millen wool and leather jacket
• H&M skinny belt

A loose shirt and maxi skirt alone us very frumpy and unflattering so don't forget the belt!

Day 19: Call Me Maybe?

Ok I have a confession: the title has absolutely NOTHING to do with today's post. I just have the song on repeat in my head, and if I reverse psychology it in some way, it will finally leave my head....maybe? 

Anyway, today is all about orange. Blink and you'll miss the white shirt. (But it is still there.) The smart but oh-so-colourful look. Here it is...

Today I'm wearing:

• Marks and Spencer's orange cashmere V-neck jumper
• Vintage silk shirt
• Skirt from H&M

I just met you and this is crazy but here's my number so... (argh)

Day 18: Read the small print

I'm a fan of tribal, Aztec-ish print, and I'm also a fan of bright colours (did you not gather that from yesterday!?) so this dress is one of my favourites. It's been designed to have multiple patterns, so in my eyes it doesn't clash! That's one way to liven up a Monday morning...

Today I'm wearing:

• Next white shirt
• Bag from Spitalfields Market (haggled my socks off on this one)
• Print dress I bought on holiday in China

Day 17: When the world leaves you feeling blue...

...you can count on me....

As you can gather (hopefully), today's theme is Blue. It wasn't intended as a statement or anything; I literally just saw bright blue jeans I haven't worn in forever and thought it was time to give them another go. And if you can see it, you should recognise the necklace - or maybe not, as it was worn the wrong way round last time! Ever resourceful, I am...

Today I'm wearing:

• Topshop strappy top
• Blue jeans from New Look
• Vintage white silk shirt
• Orelia necklace
• Primark clutch bag (big enough to store virtually everything though.)

Ps. It's S Club 7's "Reach". In case you're still wondering about the title.

Day 16: Today I don't feel like doing anything

Hello! Firstly can I say THANK YOU if you are reading this. I never thought I would get so much support on this challenge, so whether you are in the UK, USA, Australia, Germany, Russia, Nigeria, the Philippines, Ireland, THANK YOU.

As gathered from the title, this is a very lazy white shirt outfit. Simply pop over a dress of your choice and tie it up with the ends instead of doing the buttons. Simples!

Today I'm wearing:

• Brown midi dress borrowed from Mum's wardrobe
• Next white shirt

Also, huge thanks to Virgos Lounge for designing gorgeous clothes (just looking at their dresses could be a dangerous new hobby for me), and for their support - the responses to yesterday's feature have been superb :)

White Shirts in the News

Ok so I have a slight compulsion to check the Daily Mail website almost, well, daily. Most of the articles are so outrageous they annoy me (like the whole Samantha Brick thing!?) yet I keep on going back, mainly for the latest red-carpet appearances and outfits. And one red carpet trend that I've spotted three times today alone is the white shirt. Hip hip hooray, it's almost as if Lily Collins, Kristen Stewart and Gwyneth Paltrow have been reading this blog! :) Yesterday happened to be blazer day as well, so it's a coincidence they've all opted for the black blazer.


Whilst Lily looks absolutely stunning and sophisticated, Kristen's got her usual edgy vibe and Gwyneth is smart and lovely as usual. My favourite would probably have to be the first though - it's a very very tough look to pull off and everything from the make-up and colour and hair and shoes and bag go well. Minimalistic but makes a huge statement. Well done Lily! (But kudos to Gwyneth for the daring white shirt look - I'm not sure I'd be brave enough to undo so many buttons...)

Right, which celeb's next to rock the shirt?
