Emerging Fervour

When I think of wearing white, my mind goes back to the late 90′s, early 2000 – an unfortunately unfashionable time in my life. I had many fashion phases during that time, from shell suits, to platforms from skater girl to tarty (lycra was my fabric of choice) – I’ve been through it all and where white was included spelt disaster. Not the smallest of girls, a white lycra mini skirt coupled with a white halter top isn’t a proud fashion moment for me, and I swore off white FOREVER… But that is all about to change; I’m planning on making a white comeback this summer with a couple of these beauties I found.

Vogue.com have given us the following information on the white wash trend:

I met Olli one bizarre work-drinks Friday (she’s an ex-colleagues girlfriend) and couldn’t help but perv on her amazing style for the whole night. Luckily she didn’t get too freaked and agreed to help me kick start our new feature that looks inside the wardrobes of non-famous but super trendy people. We know, sounds amazing…and it is, so here is Olli Leivers rocking five different outfits:

SEQUIN DRESS

Olli says: “I love this dress. I think the high street has become a little TOO inundated with sequins recently. They can be a little lairy/tacky at times. I personally love them when they’re used subtly like this. I feel all aquatic and magical in it. Although, I’ll usually dirty up a look that’s too girly – hence the jacket and whopping great big platforms.”

If you like the style and after something slightly different, then check out our suggestions throughout this piece.
