Power Color | White

May 14, 2017 April Merlas

Oh, Spring whites.

Hard to pull off, easy to get dirty.

My favorite monochromatic look hands down is head to toe white for obvious reasons. It's super crisp, clean, and just effortlessly cool. A look that's instantly put together that's minimalistic and chic. It's a way of being bold and drawing attention without even really asking for it.

But who are you kidding? You are.

An all white look is a look you'll love wearing all throughout Spring and Summer with hopefully no mustard or mysterious brown stains in sight.

Get to know the basics by starting with basics. A basic white t-shirt, white jeans, and white sneakers.

Now, play up these basics.

Wear a comfy white t-shirt with a graphic message, white distressed/ripped jeans, and a pair of your favorite white heels or go to sneakers.

I tend to always go the trendy route with these things by doing a play on menswear and classic collared shirts. This dress shirt features a longer silhouette (that I would normally wear as a dress), billowy sleeves, and my favorite part: IT'S OFF SHOULDER!

Showing off some sexy collar bone is my absolute favorite skin to show off because it's understatedly sultry and feminine. I like to highlight them with my cutest choker and layered necklaces. The top is completed with a white jean skirt and pair of Stannies (which are a little dirty ATM).
 

I love getting dressed everyday because my relation to fashion is emotional.
 

I'll wear this easy like Sunday morning (cue relaxing feels below) or for a power Monday to make me feel like I have the confidence to take on whatever challenges I have for the week and for the rest of my life.

Exploring different countries in Asia has always been on my bucket list but Singaporean culture was something completely (with a lack of a better word) foreign to me.

Starting off my days in Manila, I've been accompanied with my best friend Sam - who took me to lunch (after no longer being jet lagged) at a spot in SM San Lazaro, a popular chain all across the PI.
