white - the encore

Vogue Italia, April 2010

When I get an idea of what I want to wear in my head - in this specific case, the colour white* - I more often than not make a collage of items (see previous post), and then visualise what it would look like in an editorial/if I were Anna Dello Russo.

So, there's the short but sweet logic behind today's post: a blast from the past editorial courtesy of Vogue Italia circa 2010. Isn't it SO good? I have to admit while searching for this I came over far more editorials of the Sports-Luxe variety, and to find this in a sea of stream-lined white minimalism was a dream come true for a fashion fantasist such as myself. When it comes to editorials I like a little bang for my buck if you know what I mean?

*Yes I'm aware that white may or may not techinically be a colour.

Today's post comes to you curtesy of Frosty the Snowman... And an off the cuff remark my Sister made to me (and probably doesn't remember).

I can't remember it exactly, but it was something about not wearing white in Winter, and sticking to dark colours.

Despite my memory failing on this occasion,  this did get me to thinking: why ever not?!* So many things about this time of year are white (snow, mistletoe, some decorations, icing on a Christmas cake...), and since I don't live in an area of England that seems to be seeing any snow (rain, rain, go away), why not emulate one of my favourite weather conditions when dressing!?

 *Ironically I can actually think of two very good reasons not to wear all white: Firstly, that when I was a teen, it was the Chavvy thing to do. Secondly, I have a tendency to drink a lot of mulled wine at this time of year, and this coupled with a generally clumsy nature would mean that my whites would not be white for very long..!
