One of the big trends I noticed on the New York runways last September was the all-white trend. So many designers favored pairing white with white and then adding either neutral or brightly colored accessories. As a Mother of three, the thought of wearing all white is a bit daunting; but I loved how the all-white ensembles looked as they graced the runways, so I thought I would give it a whirl!

I love white shirts for the summer, so this blouse from Gap seemed perfect for creating an all-white look; and wearing on casual days with jeans! I also love midi skirts right now, so of course I chose this inexpensive white skirt from ASOS. (one of my favorite online destinations with affordable and on-trend clothing!)

I wore this outfit for half a day and managed to keep it pristine! I have decided that is a win 🙂 I will definitely be wearing my all-white ensemble again this season, maybe next time with a bright color instead of black.

Have you tried the all-white trend this year? If so, did you use neutral or colorful accessories?
