It’s finally white jean season and I was more than ecstatic to try out the hottest summer trend, until I realized how little white clothing I actually owned. Wearing white for a week was a rollercoaster of ups and downs; Miley Cyrus, Kendall Jenner, and Bella Hadid make it look so easy. However, despite my distress, I managed to make it through the week without staining my clothes! (Just kidding)
MONDAY
Morning: Once I looked out my window to see rain and roaring wind that could most likely knock over a small child, it became CLEAR I would not be wearing the only white bottom I owned: a suede skirt. So yes, my plan to wear all white this week has already failed. I am now sitting in the office in blue jeans and a white off-the-shoulder top scrolling through Amazon to find a pair of white jeans so I can actually follow through with this assignment. Don’t worry guys, I will NOT let you down!
—> side note- why do clothes cost money? I’m broke.
Afternoon: I successfully made it through my lunch at Starbucks; yes.. I went to Starbucks for lunch, without getting a single coffee stain on my white linen shirt. However, as I sit at my desk, stuffing BBQ chips down my throat, I’m growing a little concerned about the well being of my top. I’m also starting to wonder if my top is see through. Well if it isn’t, the rain on my walk home will be sure to take care of that.
—> side note 2?- I ordered white Levis on Amazon, incase you were wondering. They’ll be here Wednesday. You were definitely wondering, right?
Night: I hostess some nights and unfortunately tonight was one of those nights. I was sure I was going to get food or a drink spilt on my white top. But, it actually went pretty well. No stains in sight and my managers even thought it was nice that I was wearing white while everyone else was wearing black. Woo one point for all-white!
TUESDAY
Morning: Uuuuuuughhhhhh. If I thought the weather was bad yesterday, then I was mistaken. I was actually WOKEN up by the rain beating down on my window. I checked the temperature on my phone and it was a striking 45 degrees. No shot I wear my only white bottom, right? Wrong. I wore the skirt and a white sheer top (yikes). I’m in this for you guys, don’t worry.
Afternoon: My outfit is actually preventing me from going on my lunch break and that is not okay.
Night: When I think food stains is all I should be worried about, but I come home to find makeup all over my white shirt. Awesome.
WEDNESDAY
Morning: I failed you guys again. The white Levi jeans I ordered off Amazon were minutes away from being delivered, but I had to leave or I’d be late for work. So my outfit today is a white ribbed bodysuit with the closest thing to white pants I could get: tan pants? The office got everyone Dunkin’ this morning, so I’m going to try not to spill coffee on my shirt. Over and out.
—> side note: I’m wearing white Supergas.
Afternoon: I’m sitting at my desk, writing (like I do), stuffing Doritos down my throat, when I bite on one a bit too aggressively and it flings down and lands on my white top. No stain though..honestly a miracle.
—> side note 2 : My pants were delivered!
Night: It was just so beautiful after work that I had to get outside. My roommates wanted to have a picnic on the Esplanade so I got home and quickly changed into my new white jeans that had just been delivered (I honestly couldn’t wait). Unfortunately, this turned disastrous the moment I kneeled on the tapestry that we had laid down on the grass. Mud seeped through the fabric and stained my literally minute-new white jeans. fml.
THURSDAY
Morning: Yeah my white jeans are still stained on my knees and my butt, but do you think that stopped me from wearing them to work? haha no. So thats where I’m at.
Afternoon: Someone called out the stain on my all white. LIT.
Night: “All White? Thats bold.” – waitress
*Photo N/A for the last day because I actually gave up*
FRIDAY
Morning: I honestly was dreading putting on my all white attire today, but thankfully it is the last day. I’m wearing the same jeans as yesterday with a white top that I wore previously in the week. Someone already called out my repetitive outfit, but whatever. I keep trying to avoid looking down because the all-white is blinding.
Afternoon: At least the all-white makes it harder to see my sweat stains!
Night: Good riddance all white! It’s been a trip.
So heres the deal on wearing all-white: White monochrome can be a stunning fashion statement—it’ll even turn heads; but, it’s best to keep the flashing to a minimum, and wear all-white strategically. Also, while wearing all white, the best accessory is confidence! Confidence will prevent the white from drowning you out and will also keep the stains off! Sounds odd, but I can assure you, after wearing white for a week I found that the more I worried about staining my clothes, the more I stained my clothes! So, as long as you keep your heads up and your red wine held high, you should be just fine!
