This week I was inspired by a campaign I saw on my Instagram feed. Witchery Fashion encourages white shirts to be worn on May 1 in hopes of creating awareness and fund for the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. While I was late to the show with May 1st, this campaign inspired me to wear white shirts all week long. I have a ton of them–too many actually, so I used this as a test to pull out the favorites–and maybe weed out a few too. My love of white shirts comes from my sister, Julie. She is the owner of the best white shirts, and often if she likes mine, she’ll just request that I hand it over. I’ve realized I need to just start buying in duplicates so this doesn’t happen. In fact, her ease in wearing the white shirt gave me the perfect packing uniform for this road trip. While the perfect way to wear a white shirt in my opinion is a pair of cutoffs, I tried to pull off more professional looks this week. I think I could definitely go one more week wearing another set of five white shirts each day.
Monday 4/5
The original #whiteshirtcampaign pairs the white shirts with black on the bottom. I always feel like this combo looks like a waiter’s outfit. Therefore I tried to dress the look up with an over the top layered, lace skirt that I had picked up at Mee and Gee. I love wearing a tailored shirt tied at the waist. I also love these cute white shoes; however, they’re super big on me for some reason, so if I can’t figure out the back heel section, I might need to get rid of them. The white shirt in this outfit is completely tired–I need to get one remade. Once I fine the time to do this, I’ll be able to get rid of this over worn white shirt.
Tuesday 5/5
This was my favorite outfit all week long. I love this outfit. First the shorts have the perfect amount of boho, yet they’re tailored at the same time. The belt is so special to me: my mom bought it for me at the night market in Goa when she visited us in India. I need to belt my waist more often–all women should especially if they’re top heavy like me. The top, well it’s just a good white one. (No, Julie, I will not be bringing it home!) The shoes are my new tan sandals, and I love that they have just a little wedge. All in all, I felt really great in this weekend. It was the winner of the week.
Wednesday 3/5
I felt ok in this outfit, but I wasn’t in love with it like the day before. There are two things I notice from the pictures: first, it’s really hard for me to wear sleeveless, and so when it cuts in like that it doesn’t help my lack of shoulders and beefy arms. Also, the pants, even though they’re high waisted somehow accentuate the ponchy-ponch. Who wants that?! Not me. I’ll probably be getting rid of this outfit–although the top with the faux leather collar I chose down below would work much better with these pants. It’s got wider shoulders PLUS it ties! Ties at the waist work for me just like belts.
Thursday 4/5
Here’s an improvement from the day before. Regardless of whether this top looks ok, I just love it! The shoulders are more broad which works a little better with my shoulders and arms. The fun part though about this top is the cutouts of lace at the waist level. It’s like a little peek in to my tummy but not all that revealing at the same time. I like this. Plus, I got to wear my white tasselled clogs from Jakarta. I love these clogs! Oh, and you can’t see it, but a navy blue skirt called for blue mascara with purple layered on top. YES!
Friday 4/5
Wearing jeans on Friday is such a treat. I love that my employer allows for this. I felt like really playing up the boho look today, so I wore my cropped jeans with the ribbon seam. This top, which is still available, is one of my favorite white tops. It’s easy breezey and just feels cool. I do have to watch the top heaviness with a cut like this, but I think it’s ok because of the jeans. If you like peasants, get this one!
Similar White Shirts:
My exact top from Friday is still available, but otherwise I found some similar white shirts for Monday through Thursday. I love each of these white shirt and highly recommend their style.
