  You look really chic to me. I love this outfit with your hair.

  KILLER fab! I'm loving that type of top on you, Lana. Gorgeous! The bits of lace peaking out from the shoulder and hem are super pretty. Excellent top for skirts too!

  Nice bit of on trend crochet bag :)

  I know what you mean about that type of puckering by the zipper. I think it might be a spandex problem, as you mentioned. I had that eventually happen to an old pair of white jeans. I tried pressing and dry cleaning. No luck. So I wore longer tops that covered the puckering up for a while. Then I passed them on.

  Chic! That *is* a great top!

  The white layers look very fresh.  I am impressed by anyone who can wear all white for more than a minute.

  More love for this outfit! Love

  You look really fab in all white, nothing is missing.  However, I have that feeling too when I wear all white, as a cool-toned, silver-haired sister.  I feel like I need contrast in my outfits.

• Lana replied 1 year ago

  You’re right Star, we can look blah very easily without contrast, but I do notice in these outfits, the skin provides a little contrast. Ideally maybe adding a darker bag and necklace would make all the difference. 

  
  
  Thank you emsido, Angie, style fan, and kkards.  These cropped tops work really well for my short waist Angie.  I have this one in off white, navy and pale grey. I tend to buy duplicates if something works well for me.

  You look great in whiteout!  I’ve observed that texture plays an important role in all-one-colour outfits.  A lacy or nubbly textured top (like Janet’s lace/crochet tank top) for example.

  Super fab outfit! I think you wear the white-out look beautifully. I can empathize with your feeling of something missing (I feel the same in all white), but I really do not see that effect at all on you. My first thought was: stunning!

  Thanks everyone.  Carla, the texture gives the eye a place to land so I think it’s a good idea too.

  Sharan, I wore this most of the day and home and liked it, but had to change to pick mulberries from our tree.  It has lots of fruit this year but very juicy and stains everything.  My lifestyle doesn’t mix well with white.

  Gorgeous! I see what you mean about the jeans, but it is mostly because you pointed it out. I am slowly removing all the stretch jeans from my life.

  I would like myself a white cropped wide leg jeans, too-just didn't find one which is not that heavy (which I hate for summer)! Love the top here, perfect layerings! Sandals and bag are mind boggling!

  You wear it well, especially with your hair, but I understand the feeling. I used to have a great pair of pale grey and white plaid crops with thin silver threads throughout, and I wore them with a white eyelet top and silver sandals. All many years ago, pre YLF. That’s as close as I’ve gotten to white out, I think ever, except for my wedding dress! LOL I think Carla is right that some texture or false plain pattern can give the interest that feels otherwise a little absent in so much solid color.

  I’ve had that puckering thing happen to my stretchy jeans after years of wear — it usually meant they were soon destined to be given away.
