You probably think of high-waisted, white jeans as the perfect summer pant, easy to match with any floral top. But the great thing about white pants, is they're also great for the winter. Think of all those Fall L.A. vibes, where it gets chilly at night, but the sun stays strong in the afternoon. Now, imagine those pants with a comfy, cable-knit sweater. Voila! You've got an unconventional fall/winter outfit.
The first time I wore this outfit to work, my boss—a New York socialite—told me, "you look like the type of person who vacations in the same spots as Audrey Hepburn." Of course, I took that to mean she was calling me cosmopolitan, classy, and pretty, aka Audrey Hepburn. However, I think what my boss was ultimately hinting at was that anyone who feels comfortable enough to rock white when it's 30 degrees outside, is a fashion risk taker. Taking risks pays off.
I would be lying, if I said this outfit didn't take some careful planning. The sweater, a fur-year-old buy from Tobi, is too oversized to pair well with a bottom that flares out; however, it's also too cropped to be tucked for a flouncy look. Ideally, you'd pair it with a smart pencil skirt. But the day I first put this outfit together, it was raining outside and cold; I needed pants that could be worn with my knee-high Hunter rain boots, and worked with a crop top. The only thing that matched this criteria in my closet was a pair of high-waisted white Levi's denim jeans, a sale item from Urban Outfitter's end of summer season.
To make it all work—and adding an extra layer of class—I threw on a houndstooth headband from Anthro. Honestly, I think that's what makes the whole thing work. I also just really love this headband, so I'm definitely biased (haha)!
Today I wore this again to work. While I was out on a photo shoot, someone made a point of coming up to me to tell me that my outfit was the perfect embodiment of fall. Their comment made me really happy, because I never know if these pants make me look extremely wide. But then I think, who cares?
