Winter white: Does this work (Angie)?

Ingunn

I like the trend winter white, and I have a few garments that could work. But I'm not convinced that this is a success, though. What do you think? Please be honest.

Sweater: Filippa K (transparent wool. Cami underneath, also FK).
Braided leather belt: Filippa K
Pencil skirt: H&M
Snakeskin-printed hose: H&M
Booties: Pantanetti
Pumps: Face
Messenger bag: Joost
Leather jacket: BZR

What I wonder about is:
1. Is the snakeskin-print hose ok?
2. Which shoes are best: Gray pumps or brown booties? Or something else?
3. Belted sweater or not?
4. Should I add/remove anything?

Dresscode smart casual.

Thanks for looking!

I don't care for the hose, but I like the track you are following with the winter white!

I'm also not a fan of the hose, but I think that #2 comes close - I like how the jacket is slightly contrasting the other elements of the outfit, although the booties seem a bit too much contrast, given your fair complexion.

I like 2 and 3. I prefer brown booties over grey pumps. snakeskin printed hose looks cool

Interesting! 2-1 against the hose, and I myself are on the fence. Thanks ladies!

I like outfit #2 with the jacket and boots. I would add a brown belt or some other brown accessory to tie the boots in. Keep in mind that I like matchy-matchy and that's not everyone's cup of tea.

I like #2 best but I think the skirt looks a bit light weight to read "winter" for some reason. I think I'd like the outfit better with a more substantial weight to the skirt in relation to the sweater and jacket and boots. I also would like to see some small touches of additional brownish tones, maybe in jewelry?

I like matchy-matcy too, Sara L.! The addition of something brown seems like a good idea.
Texstyle, you might very well be right about the weight of the skirt. That's the one I have, though:) I'll try accessorizing with something brown.

Thanks for chiming in!

I like the tights! But do not prefer them with the brown booties. I like #1 with the LIGHT shoes best actually. Add the taupe jacket to that outfit. It could be fab!

I adore Winter White, and added a bit of animal print to one of my Winter White outfits last year. I really want a pair of Winter White wool trousers to wear with this combination.

Thank you, Angie! I'll do that, and maybe look for lighter booties too. The combination you added is very inspirational, thanks again!

I love 1 I see there ar comments on the tights so maybe try a nude or taupe, non pattern, hose instead. I see my eye drawn to them so I guess that is distracting from the whole picture. I was not crazy about the brown booties but the jacket is totally thumbs up!

I really like the idea and I think the white really suits you, you looks so pretty. I don't love the hose but I am liking the rest of the outfit a great deal.

I DO like the hose. But I don't like them with the combination, because the fabrication weight reads too different to the skirt's weight to my eye. I might be wrong about that. I mean the fabrication - I am personally (physically) uncomfortable in a cotton-ish or light weight skirt with tights and am imposing that on you! It gives me a poison eye for the look. And makes cross seasonal dressing really tough for me, LOL!

I do think this is a great idea and you will create a gorgeous outfit in winter whites!
