The broaden horizons of the white shirt

There are never too many white shirts in my closet, nor too much inspiration of how to wear one. I like a fashion story which is not only beautiful to look at, but where you can draw ideas from and reinterpret them so that they work for your own taste and personality. As simple and classic the white shirt may be, its styling possibilities are countless. Isn’t this the secret of an ageless piece?
I wish you a wonderful week!

    This post went straight to me heart, as I’m still in a white shirt mood since last Saturday. I have one with 3/4 sleeves that I may put on later today. I just need to unpack it first and probably iron it just a bit 😉

    Have a wonderful day Ada!

    I’m kicking myself that I only have one white shirt at the moment… I think I might have to ‘borrow’ some from my guy! 🙂

    Such a precious editorial! I think, the timeless piece is the one that pulls all other pieces together, sort of like a glue. It’s not always something that stands out straight away, but becomes unforgettable as one learns to appreciate it.
    Wishing you a wonderful week!

    I so love white shirts!!!! They always look chic, whether paired with jeans, dressed up or used as they are in these fab images. I am always looking white shirts with great cuffs … and it never fails that the sleeves are too short for my long arms, so frustrating! I’m 5’8″ and have long arms and legs. When I DO find shirts and sweaters with sleeves long enough, it feels luxurious to me because they are so hard to find! 😉 Hope you had a lovely weekend, sweetie!
