Just like Pippa, we say, “Wear your whites!”  It may be after Labor Day, but it’s all about the fabric choice and how you pair your whites for fall and winter.  We know, we know.  Some of you might never be comfortable wearing white from September to March.  It’s okay.  Personal style is all about personal choices and what makes you feel YOUR best.

However, to assure you that we are not crazy, here are some sights from the Fall 2011 Paris shows – both on and off the runway. These are followed by three outfits we think would be great in the coming months.

We'd like a more fitted shirt, but um, we'll take this any way it comes.

So, how can you take these looks and make them relevant for everyday?  Here are three collections of ideas to provide some inspiration.  The point is not to go out and buy all these white things for fall, but to figure out how to bring some great items already in your closet into the new season with different pairings and new purchases alike.

    I absolutely love the crisp contrast of whites with rich fall & winter colors. It just makes them pop….so much more bang than black or charcoal!

  3. You know how I love love love white! So glad to see more ladies embracing the beauty of white, any time of year. I especially love white jeans with brown cowboy boots and a leather jacket in Fall.
    Great post!
