White + Black | Maternity Style
{{Jeans + Crochet Top: Motherhood Maternity
{{Cardigan: Express (old)
{{Black Bubble Necklace: similar
I’ll be honest, I’ve been really hesitant to hop on the all-white-outfit bandwagon / trend train, whathaveyou. I’m already super fair-skinned, so the thought of decking myself out in an entirely white outfit makes me think I’m going to look super washed out and like I will totally blend in with my clothing. Or something.
But, while I’ve felt somewhat limited in my clothing these days, I try to make due with what I have and I am trying to use this as an opportunity to step a little outside of my comfort zone and have FUN. That’s what fashion is all about, right? Right.
So, I decided to pair these white maternity jeans with my favorite ivory crochet blouse, but chose to tone down all the white with a black cardigan and black bubble necklace. (Although I do admit that these white jeans look a bit mint-colored in these photos… dang lighting.)
A little style-tip: if there’s ever a trend you’re nervous to try – (READ: I am even hesitant, or even RESISTANT to try certain trends… wedge sneakers, anyone????) – try easing into the trend by doing it, subtly. If that makes sense. For example: scared of stripes? Try a striped accessory! Scared of the all white trend? Break it up with a colored cardigan. You catch my drift, right?
What about you? Is the all-white outfit trend something you’ve tried? What other trend(s) are you nervous to try?

That crochet blouse is a perfect staple (as you were talking about yesterday). I haven’t dared the all white trend, so I’m quite proud of you!
I totally agree with easing into a trend, especially one we’re not comfortable with! You look so beautiful!
Love this, glad you gave it a shot! You look adorable!

I think all white is so chic! I get nervous when I wear my white jeans though because I always tend to spill things on myself.

My post yesterday was about my fear of all-white! I’m convinced I’ll spill on myself. My compromise is to add a touch of color, preferably on my top half where tea most often dribbles. 😉
Really cute! I have that necklace in yellow and it is so fun.
