So tonal colours such as white, black and everything in between, have really been popular in the world of fashion. For this spring and summer months, white on white has stood out the most. Most of us try to steer clear from the all pure white for many reasons: gets dirty quick / makes you look bigger / not flattering / black is just easier.... BUT I say to you let that stop now.
Because white is such a blank and emphasising shade, you must pay more attention to the cut, detail, shape, style and fashion of the clothing item in itself. Now you can't hide behind the colour and/or patterns. In this lookbook, are my ideas of different 'staple' pieces of white items that anyone can try.. OBVIOUSLY tailor it to suit your shape and taste.
DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT A HOW YOU SHOULD WEAR WHITE BUT ONLY MY WAY I FASHION MYSELF AND IDEAS AND INSPIRATION FOR YOU ALL!

This outfit was centered around the every day girl... if you fancy catching some drinks with the girls or running errands (just drop the shoes for flats if need be) However I tell you, I could walk from England to Timbuktu in these heels, they are at such a comfortable height you could rock climb in them. Plus they are very simple and elongate your legs (especially for shorties like me :P)
Chain: Topman
Vest: Thrifted
Jeans: H&M
Shoes: New Look
I was inspired by my lovely friend for this one. Her style is very effortless, thrown together but tailored ... something like 'I woke up like this, flawless' if you catch my drift. The shirt is a large mens shirt that looks like I borrowed it from my imaginary italian stallion the night after (I wish!) I paired it with some black shorts as the shirt isn't long enough to pass as a dress (but feel free to style it that way if you're that brave)
LEGS LEGS LEGS.. I'm not that confident with my legs much but seeing as it was ridiculously hot and I'd been working out, thought I should be a little proud of my hench calf muscles. I paired it with simple heels again, but more flashy. This is aimed for those night outs that you want massive comfort but still look very sexy and demure. Rough tumbled effortless waves/curls joined with a smokey eye and dark lip really go well with this look!
Shirt: Primark
Shorts: River Island
Heels: Topshop
Funny how this whole outfit is reminds me so much of the entirety of Zara... this is for my girls that want a more tailored look whilst keeping the legs out. A blazer really smartens everything up - such a staple wardrobe item whichever colour. I wont lie, keeping it brisk white is effort -.- but such a statement 'look at me' piece. I dressed it down a little bit with this loose knit jumper casually tucked into these tailored high waist shorts. Kinda looks like a short suit.
I kept all the accessories clean and around the silver grey palette, so more of the attention is focused on the different textures and shapes. I loooove this look the most, very clean and simple but kicks a punch.
Blazer: Topshop
Jumper: H&M
Shorts: H&M

Necklace: Primark
Rings: Miss Selfridge/Primark
NOW.... we all have that freakum dress hidden somewhere in the depths of our wardrobes or even attics haha. This is the most daring for me for many reasons: The dress is white. Disastrous on a night out where you may be overly paranoid who is walking within 5 metre radius of you. Secondly the dress is white. It accentuates all the lumps and bumps and makes you look a little bigger.
How did I tackle all of that... well first you just have to bite your lips, close your eyes and pray for all the confidence first. Clothing is about style and your own expressions being shown on the outside. Confidence is key. Next, to hide all lumps and bumps, girl you better believe I had spanx and the whole army and navy holding my packs of rolls in. A great detail I love about this dress is the back .. gives such a simple dress a twist and sexiness. My back as never looked so nice haha!
These heels give me LIFE. Fell in love at first sight. They have a hidden platform (which is my favourite) to keep the clean lines of the shoe and the stiletto is just YES YES YES. T-bar's give every shoe that cute feminine look so its all 5 stars for me, BARGAIN at only £20 from office.
Dress: Zara
Shoes: Office
Now I urge all of you to step out of your comfort zone and incorporate some white into your closets and watch how much brighter it makes you. Play around with shapes, tailoring, patterns, textures if you don't know where to start. Good thing about white is it NEVER goes out of fashion so invest in some quality peices.
