Winter white styles have been all over Instagram and the blogging world recently. I think the look is so chic and classic. I have been very inspired to try my own take on winter whites. After these gorgeous tan otk boots (btw thank you all for your compliments on them!) came in the mail I knew I had to style them with a winter white monochromatic look. This was a different challenge for me; if I ever do monochrome it’s normally in dark neutrals. As different as all white is for me, so is wearing my hair down! Topknots have become my hairstyle making this look rare for me. I love doing the turtleneck tuck though; it gives the illusion of a bob without the commitment!

I bought this white jacket at the end of the season last year, and have been amazed at how much I wear it. I will fall for any item with thumbholes and sleeves like this! It just makes an item so cozy. Have you ever realized the items you buy at a great discount are the ones you wear all the time? It always happens to me; a great lesson in remembering to always wait to check the sale’s rack.

One of my New Year’s decisions (not resolution!) is to do yoga twice a week. I’m already working on my balancing poses, as well as balancing my life between have to dos and want to dos. I love the inner peace that comes from practicing yoga, as well as the muscle strengthening and lengthening results.

I hope your week is going lovely so far, and that you accomplish all your goals!

    I can’t get enough of an all neutrals outfit, and you are killing it in this outfit! Love your illusion of a bob too! I miss my long hair and can’t wait for my lob to grow out! hehe. Hope yoga is going well! xoxo
