White accessories capsule: any more ideas?

karymk

I am just ADORING the concept of white shoes, belts and handbags, especially in the "off" season!

This is the first piece in my collection, look very Prada, no? Well they are $34 Tildons from Nordstrom and couldn't fit better!

On my list now are:

White ballet flats.
A one inch wide white belt with gold buckle.
A white moc-croc handbag.

Any other ideas?

Very cute shoes! And way to go on embracing white! (I was a convert earlier this year.) So - in addition to what you've already mentioned - how about some white booties, white sneakers - have you seen the hi-top Cons with the wedge?, white leather bracelet, white watch - maybe you already have one because they've been trendy for quite awhile now, don't know if you wear statement necklaces - but if you do, how about a white one? - also, consider trying mixing up the white with the some ivory/cream colored accessories - its very pretty and very current!

So, my question for you is: if you wear a white belt, what color shoes can you wear? Are you limited to white ones? Or those containing some white? I've been pondering this lately.

I have been eyeing these white loafers/booties/whatever though I imagine they'd be hard to keep clean and white because of the cracked texture.

Probably more RATE than your style. And now that someone mentioned a white leather bracelet, I so want one.

I also like the idea of white rubber-coated or paint-coated things, like these shoes

or a white version of this necklace (I could swear I saw a white one in the store, but maybe not)

I like your choices of all-white items. Jewelry also comes to mind--strands of pearls or other types of jewelry featuring white can work near the face when an entire white shirt may seem to much, and looks great with winter grays.
Also, though this may not be the look you are going for, white patterns--dots or stripes, or types of animal print, in scarf or belt or bag (whereas an all-white scarf may look medicinal) , brightens things up, too.

I thought Neel's white and black flats in this post were fabulous: http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....imal-print

Sarah, I'm thinking that if I wear a white belt, I can do white shoes too. OR, maybe the belt and a bag and a colored shoe. IDK! I think I would have to play with it to figure it out.

Greyscale I love your picks, especially the pumps. Gasp!

Carter, I like Neels flats too.

My most used white accessories are my pumps, clutch, and belt. I do find myself reaching for a white bib necklace and white long dangly earrings, those have been on my list for a while now.

(Sarah, I wear white belts with white shoes AND white clutch fairly often! I also will wear metallic or snakeskin with white things if I'm not in the mood to match it all.)

Aida I was so inspired by the way you accessorize with white! It looks so fresh, like a bright color in its own right!

I was looking at some beautiful Elizabeth and James booties in white pony hair but can't seem to link to them.
How about this clutch? http://www.saksfifthavenue.com.....ID=k9oHcCX

Thanks Karymk! I treat white both as a neutral and as a bright, depending on what a particular outfit calls for

Oh, I get it. I'm all over accessories in cream / ivory / any shade of white with a hint of wamth in it. They light up everything I especially love cream with black, grey, navy... dark, somber colors that generally don't look good on me. It started with scarves in cream, then I added a crossbody bag, a hat... (I also have a pair of ballet flats in cream, but that was a mistake. They kill my feet :-() I'm still looking for a cream belt with a gold buckle and a pair of cream booties with a chunky two inch heel. And a cream beret... or newsboy's cap...
I don't know if you do scarves and hats, but if you do, then I suggest scarves and hats Those shoes look awesome! What a catch!

Joy you totally just did a personal shop for me! I love it all, especially the DVF snake shoe...I love them!

Jude, Do you keep everything to cream or do you allow yourself white too? I can't figure out how I'm going to mix the accessories. For instance, would a cream belt go with the white shoes and bag, or would it throw the whole thing off as far as impact?

Do you stay all cream or all white?

I can't speak for Jude, but I do both white, ivory and cream. And I mix them all together

I like to wear shades of cream and ivory together, but I don't own anything in stark white because it doesn't suit me. However, white doesn't equal white! I do own a few "white" items where the white seems to have just a tiny hint of warmth in it, and that's enough for me

So yes, I think it's completely fine to mix different shades of white together. I know that Angie does it
