WIW: White Shirt with a Twist

K. Period.

I was thinking about Rachel's recent post on classic pieces for a young woman (http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....young-lady) today. I recommended a really great basic white woven shirt with a twist that makes it interesting. That inspired me to reach for this shirt from BCBG that I've had for a few years. I was also really wanting to wear my Fluevog Everests because, well, love!

I would love suggestions on more ways to wear the Everests. So far, my formula seems to be dark bottom (denim pencil skirt, trouser jeans, these trousers), light top. After that, the inspiration fades. White and eggshell shoes are challenging for my eye, even though I love their crispness. Any ideas for me?

What about a slightly flared skirt finishing around the knee with a fitted top in light coloured fabric?. You could perhaps have a dark belt to pick up on the shoe detail.
Or what about a light fit and flair dress with other dark accessories, bracelets, necklace etc. Then maybe throw one bright colour into the mix with a bag.

dresses, minis or knee length...you can also try midis. color to try...white or light colors, navy. i would do a low contrast outfit to let the shoes shine. or i would do a black/white, black/cream, navy/cream, or any complementary dark/light color pairing to integrate the shoes. do not fear pale bottoms as the shoes would lengthem your silhouette. sme deal with wide or flare leg pants.

I can see why you want to wear those gorgeous shoes! I have cream and black ballet flats that need more love and wear time during our nice weather but have the same challenge - do you try to pick up the cream or light shade in outfit or just ignore that and consider it a neutral?

Watching this for ideas. I do like that shirt - interesting details. And you look stellar in your formula by the way - if it works, work it

Lovely outfit!! The details on the shirt are terrific. And, well, no wonder you want to wear those shoes! Who wouldn't??

I'd wear them as you do, but also with skirts of various lengths. I think you can go light or dark with the skirt. A black and white striped top might be great (or other pattern), and to pick up the golf theme, you could try an argyle sweater. Or maybe plaids in general. I think red would also be fab with these shoes. Or kelly green. Or really, any colour with some oomph.

Lovely outfit! I do love a fab button-down, they never go out of style. And those shoes are fantastic. I agree that they would look fantastic with skirts (and dresses too). Or how about trying them with clamdiggers or cropped pants?

I think those shoes could work with almost anything. I adore them! I can see them with anything as long as you pick up just a touch of the cream color somewhere else in the ensemble, even if it is just a scarf, belt, handbag, broach.

These shoes would be a natural for pattern-mixing. Perhaps with a print dress or top?

How about with a mix of bright colors! A blue skirt and purple top, for instance...with a bit of black and cream in the accessories to match up the shoes?

I recently purchased a pair of cream sandals to wear with my cream leather jacket. I would suggest wearing a major piece in cream (i.e. jacket, skirt) to anchor the look and then wearing any color under the rainbow to add interest from there.

I've falling in love with Fluevog, because of you!! That's a good thing, really, and you style them in so many ways that I can relate to. Wonderful, kcs. Are they and others in the Fluevog family fairly true to size? I think skirts or dresses would also be wonderful styling additions, as well. Have fun with them.
