  Great outfits Suz!  You wear white out so well - I love white out with silver hair!!

• Jaime replied 1 year ago

  Gorgeous! Love that top especially!

• bridgie replied 1 year ago

  Beautiful and polished! I think the Cat is beautiful also. You have probably told her/his name but would you mind repeating it.

• sarah replied 1 year ago

  Oh my gosh, this looks so good with the white streaks in your hair. LOVE it.

• Angie replied 1 year ago

  WHERE have those white boots been all your life ;)

• Dee replied 1 year ago

  What can I say, it’s all terrific, I’m myself would be terrified wearing all white, I just can’t seem to avoid getting something on it. 

• Janet replied 1 year ago

  Love! You wear this so well. If I were not so averse to white on my lower half, this is how I’d do a white-out! That top is tempting but the reviews were less than promising. What do you think of it?

• Irina replied 1 year ago

  Stunning, Suz, just stunning! Looks elegant, fresh and effortless. 

  Great contemporary look! Love!

  White -out perfection!

  Awww, thanks all, and a special shout out to Angie, who especially recommended this top. 

  My verdict -- it's great! But it is NOT for anyone who lives in a hot climate. It is made of that polyester stuff my grandma's housecoats were made out of and it is super warm and a bit weird (because, you know, full on poly, and I think of my grandma when I put it on), but it's also nice, because it is very lightweight and of course WASHABLE. I love the jacquard textured effect -- it gives it interest. The collar can be worn as a sort of cowl or it can be folded into a funnel neck but it would not be pleasant for anyone who does not like a high neck. Also, it's a batwing style so you have to be okay with a lot of volume in that underarm area. I happen to adore the cut -- it's simple but dramatic. 

  Dee, I seem okay in white as long as I choose unprecious fabrics like denim or this top or a cotton shirt. Which is not to say that accidents never happen but it's actually a lot rarer than I would imagine. Tomato spatters while cooking, occasionally, is the main risk for me. 

  Angie, you are so right. Where have those boots been? They are great! I will get a lot more wear from my white jeans this winter, just like that! But I also like them with darker bottoms, to my surprise. I thought I'd feel too "cut off" and short legged, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I think the square toe helps. 

  Sarah, Jaime, Helena, Sal -- thanks. As my mother got older and her hair got whiter, she looked better and better in white. 

  Bridgie, you are so sweet. The cat's name is Max and he IS a beauty. Also a bit of a character.

  I don't think you could look more cool.  I have been watching this site and your hair is so awesome. I'm looking forward to growing into my silver soon. 

• Joy replied 1 year ago

  I love the white out on you.   My hair also gets whiter ( and finer) as I get older.  Whites in mixed shades is my go-to.  I just recently bought white snow boots and wore them today to go walking.  They are warm and cozy and look great with my white puffer coat.  I want to order the sweatshirt but it gone in any size I could possibly wear.  Does it fit true to size?  Does it shrink in the dryer? It looks more polished than most sweatshirts.  

• Suz replied 1 year ago

  Joy, thank you. And you'd look amazing in this sweatshirt. It fits TTS, for sure. I got my usual XS and it is generous. Maybe if you set a watch it might come back in stock. 

  My hair is overall thick but I have noticed what seems to be one patch at the hairline thinning out. Hmmm. 

  Marija, Karie -- thank you. 

• LJP replied 1 year ago

  Really nice and different ! That is such a great top too .

• Zaeobi replied 1 year ago

  Love the way the texture elevates that top. Your outfit colours match Max too ;)

  PS - Not to be an enabler but, if you envision those boots really working for you in the long-term & are otherwise difficult to find (in the right colour/ height/ comfort/ durability), I'd recommend buying a backup pair :D

• Stagiaire Fash replied 1 year ago

  Love the texture of that top and this whole idea. I tend to think of winter white as ethereal, very dressy, and for special occasions. Now after seeing your post, I might try it myself.
  Also—you look fab. I actually prefer the loafer version, though it’s probably not warm enough to wear outside right now.

• kkards replied 1 year ago

  Love!  I knew you’d love those  boots!  

• Star replied 1 year ago

  LOVE this outfit - all of it!

• CarolS replied 1 year ago

  Fab winter white-out, Suz! I love the shape and texture of that top in particular.

• Minaminu replied 1 year ago

  Amazing how the outfit changes by switching shoes! The white boots make the outfit more playful and modern, ihmo. Fab hair too!!!!

• Olive Green replied 1 year ago

  Just ordered the top. You are really an inspiration. 

• Kyle replied 1 year ago

  Oh, Suz! I opened the first photo and immediately said “Wow.” Your all-white outfit is perfect. And it’s perfectly you. LOVE.

• Cee replied 1 year ago

  Microphone drop and it also doubles as camouflage if you're ever in polar bear territory.

• replied 1 year ago

  Wow! Love the shape of the top!

• Angie replied 1 year ago

  Thanks for the shout-out, Suz!

  I suspect what's not making you feel "cut-off" when you wear white high contrast boots with dark bottoms in their high shaft and substantial sole. Details make the difference!

• RobinF replied 1 year ago

  Love this! The all white works out amazingly well. I also love that sweatshirt. 

• Suz replied 1 year ago

  Thank you, all. Angie, you are exactly right. The higher shaft and the more substantial sole make me feel a bit "lifted" off the ground and it helps almost the way a heel would to prevent that "cut off" feeling. Interesting...

  Now that I have these, I can also see myself looking for more light bottoms year round. Not just white, but maybe soft ecru, a pale grey, or even light taupe, or a pattern that includes some of these. 

  Cee, I was worried I'd give you heart failure -- the collar is awfully close to a COWL neck!

  OliveGreen, I hope you like the top, and hope it likes you back! 

  Stag, you could absolutely do this with your own white boots, white jeans, and a white or cream or similar top plus your navy coat! It would look great on you and would work really well. The only thing I might say is that if you are riding transit or your bike it might not be the best -- but as you know, jeans are easily washable. 

  Zaeobi -- tempting idea but I think I'll keep myself to one pair...they are waterproof so should last me pretty well. 

  Kkards, right? You paved the way -- I should have listened to you. I saw how much you wear your various white boots....duh...

  Robin, Minaminu, Suntiger, Kyle, Carol, Star, Lisa -- thank you! 

• Chris987 replied 1 year ago

  Late to this party, but want to agree that it's totally FAB! Your top is such a good example of how small details make things more current; the looser neck, batwing sleeves, and washable fabric!  The whole outfit is gorgeous. 

• rachylou replied 1 year ago

  Kapow!! :)

• Bijou replied 1 year ago

  You look radiant - white is magical on you.

• slim cat replied 1 year ago

  Just fabulous - the shape, the color, the whole look!

• Cee replied 1 year ago

  No, I LIKE the collar...

  I love this look!

• Jonesy replied 1 year ago

  Beautiful! This looks so luxurious and suits you so well! Those white booties are really fab.

• lyn67 replied 1 year ago

  Really love that dramatic white top (granny feel included:-))-you made a great white out outfit with it-but think will do great to any other bottom, too!:-)
