It’s Nice to be Neutral

I have seen so many looks over the years of classic outfits put together with neutral colors but I just wasn’t sure I could pull it off.  I see others wearing white jeans in the winter months and I love the look but wasn’t quite sure I could pull it off.  I decided the last week of February it was worth a try!
Here is one of the looks I found on Pinterest.

When I found this gingham top at Tara Lynn’s Boutique I knew it had a chance.  
Once I received this jacket from the Nordstrom sale I knew they were going to have to meet. 
I added my white skinnies, cognac boots and leopard belt and headed out the door feeling so proud of myself for putting this little outfit together!

I swapped the tops out to try one more outfit with a white Pleione top, ruffled cardigan and Toms wedge booties.  I was crazier about this when I saw it in the mirror!  My jeans are actually not a true white so I think I might try this one again with my actual white jeans.

 My skinny jeans are from a local online boutique, Burlap and Pearls and these are actually the silver. You can find all the colors she has available here
And look at this picture of Elle Macpherson….wow…wish I would have seen this one a little earlier but you can bet I’ve pinned it to try next winter.  
Happy Hump Day friends!  
Check out where I might be linking up here!  
My friend Holly is hosting a link up…waiting on Wednesday!  Hop on over and check it out!  
While I'm Waiting...

And hope on over and get Pin-spired with these ladies.

  1. Thanks for the shout out, friend! 🙂 And, I LOVED the gingham shirt but the ruffle sweater outfit is so pretty!!! Love how you effortlessly pull these looks together! You've got a gift!

    1. You are sweet…I'm surprised Holden didn't come home and tell you how I was running in and out changing outfits and taking pictures of myself on Sunday…haha

    1. Diane I am typically a medium in most tops but in button downs I almost always take a large just so I'm sure the girls are trying to escape! It fit perfect in a large. I would say if you have a larger bust that you size up but otherwise your regular size would probably work fine. The sleeves were plenty long too which I was happy about.

  2. Hi Shelly, I am a new follower. Came over from my sweet friend Laura's. Love the neutral outfit your put together. I have a few similar pieces. I am a mom to two girls (25 and 21-had the 25 year old when I was 21). My #2 is at BU, and will be graduating in May. I look forward to following along.

    1. Welcome Lauren! Sounds like we have a few things in common. So…by BU are you referring to Baylor?? Thanks for following along…can't wait to catch up on your story.
