WIW-Winter white & pattern mixing

Anonymous

1. Express turtleneck under Bobeau cardi; Chicos jeans; Rieker athletic flats; scarf -handmade gift. Does this look ok? Can I wear turtlenecks?
2. A remix of pieces you've seen with mostly thrift store finds including the Express shirt, rose cardi and red beads. Black BR Martin skinnies, Hush Puppy athletic flats, target layering tee.
I didn't think the pants were so scrunchy until seeing the photos. Is it too much? Your comments and suggestions for improvements are welcomed

I really like your white on white and the turtleneck looks great! Prett sweater in #2 and I like the pattern mixing too! The pants don't look too scrunchy from what I can see.

Love your style

I think #1 is lovely and elegant. #2 is not too much and just enough scrunch.

PPL looks good to me and the fit look great. I think you wear turtlenecks well and love your winter white outfit. In the other ouitfit your pattern mixing is perfect!

Joy, you look wonderful! I LOVE you in winter white and you most certainly CAN wear turtlenecks, and I hope you will!

The pattern mix in outfit 2 is so intelligent. The strength of the black lines in the sweater is just perfect with the stripe of the blouse.

great long line in #1, but the black stripe with the floral in #2 is winning me over too... Two great looks!

You look like a wintry Snow Queen in #1! So elegant and regal. LOVE.

And the pattern mixing in the next outfit is so fab, too. Wow and more wow...

Love both outfits. The white and gray is so elegant and the BR skinnies look great on you. Love the jacket.

LOVE the pattern mix in outfit #2, great fits and proportions as well --- I think the scrunching isn't too much at all. The first outfit is very elegant --- I'd be quite in awe of you if I met you in person!

You rock both these outfits!

Queen of Pattern Mixing. Glorious white! I think the pant "scrunch" is the angle of your foot in the photo.

That pattern mixing in outfit 2 is making me very happy! Such a nice touch of spring.
You can totally wear turtlenecks. Outfit#1 is great tone on tone example as well

The white outfit looks amazing on you. I especially love the necklace, it is gorgeous and the perfect accessory.

I've started a reply so many times and gotten interrupted. Thank you for looking and for your comments. For the winter white, I was inspired by Amyreh's fab outfit last week (first photo)

Total white out made me feel like a med tech or something...not enough texture in my pieces...so went with light neutrals. Thank you for the inspiration, Amy. I don't think I've worn that cardigan all winter.
I'm glad that I can wear turtlenecks as I've never been sure.
Pattern mixing has made playing in the closet so much more fun, especially to find different looks from the same pieces. Please let me know if I overdo it.
