Hey. Guess what.

WE MADE IT TO SPRING. I knew we could do it. OK, that’s not true. I’m a pretty pessimistic person so part of me wondered if I would just slip in the ice one day and not bother getting up. Luckily, all the ice melted before that happened and I think we might be in the clear.

I actually wore this last Friday before it was technically spring, but it was in the 50s and rainy. It seemed like a good time to mix something wintery (a puffer vest) and something springy (white jeans). I hope you all enjoy this first-day-of-spring Friday. Here’s to more positive thinking in the new season.

If you’ve seen or heard the term “winter white” recently and you’ve wondered how it differs from regular white, allow me to explain. (I’m a #fashion blogger, so I know about these things.)

~White is the color of linen pants, whereas winter white is the color of a cable knit sweater.

~White is what a June bride wears, whereas winter white is what a December bride wears.

~White is the color of fresh daisies, whereas winter white is the color of freshly fallen snow.

~White says “I love Paris in the springtime,” whereas winter white says “I love skiing in Aspen.”

In other words, white and winter white…are the same f#@&ing color. If you want to wear winter white, just wear something white in the winter. These are the same jeans I wore several times during the summer with bright colors and breezy tops, and now I’m wearing it with plaid and quilted jackets. Winter white. I’m so trendy.

P.S. The beautiful, stately scene behind me is the campus of my alma mater, Indiana University, the most awesome school in the whole world. IU looks equally beautiful in white AND winter white.
