A true winter has something great to offer for those who live to endure it. As our world turns into a monochromatic vision of pearly whites, and blurred grays it’s easy to yearn for the color to be brought back before the earth is ready. Relinquishing in our monochromatic circumstances guaranteed to us year after year, may be key to discovering an essential virtue: patience. So simple, clean, and pure. A monochrome vision of white on top of white symbolizes to me innocence of  spirit, and a fresh open-mind and open-hearted palette.

The white, over-sized cable sweater was purchased last January from H&M. This time of year is excellent for shopping for great deals on fall/winter product as retailers are increasing markdowns in order to sell through product faster to make room for spring merchandise. The drop-waist dress was purchased from Forever21 last summer. The lace detailing, and the tiered, pleated skirt is what won me over. The asymmetrical dress was a TJ Maxx find from summer 2012! I loved the simplicity and versatility of the silhouette. I love to wear this with nude heels, cable sweater, and jeweled necklace.
