Happy Monday folks! I thought I’d show you another way to style the white dungarees I bought this summer (last seen without a t-shirt and with red espadrilles). All-white can be difficult to wear without looking like (or rather, feeling like) a giant marshmallow…!
I think what’s great about these dungarees is that they’re not pure brilliant white, they’re actually off-white. That can cause some problems where matching white accessories is concerned, but I think off-white always looks good with neutrals. So for this weekend’s casual look (that you may have seen on my Instagram stories!) I threw on a grey marl t-shirt and added my tan crossbody bag that matches my hair of all things.
Rather than donning tan shoes (and I wanted something a little flatter than the tan heels I have) I wore my off-white block heel shoes – it was just a stroke of luck that they’re off-white too. Apparently white shoes are THE shoes to be seen in at the moment, so of course that makes me [ahem] the ultimate in on-trend fashion bloggers. Oh, the lengths I go to to make sure I’m ahead of the game đŸ˜‰
Anyway – the trick to avoiding marshmallow-like status in all white!
SHOP THE LOOK:
I think it’s a good idea to wear something that’s belted – anything too voluminous and you could end up looking like the Stay Puft Man. But as this link up is called #iwillwearwhatilike, I say go for it if that’s the look you’re after – you don’t have to listen to me (or anyone)!
ARE YOU AN ALL-WHITE FAN? DO YOU ADD BRIGHTS OR NEUTRALS – OR KEEP IT PURE? TELL ME IN THE COMMENTS !
ASOS dungarees | Old t-shirt (similar grey tee) | ASOS shoes | Yosa bag c/o (this tan crossbody bag is similar) | Aspire Style bracelet c/o (I like this sleek half cuff bracelet) | Accessorize earrings (I like these semi circle earrings) | River Island watch (I like this leather wrap watch)
I love how you styled up these overalls and made them look a bit more classy!

Love your white overalls, so funky and fun Catherine! Love the higher waistline. I tried to link up, but for some reason it wouldn't allow me to.

I'm a bit like Greetje, I think I missed the prompt for this week too! Hey, you look wonderful anyway, Catherine. And now I can strut about in my white shoes knowing I'm bang on trend too! Thanks for another lovely link up party x

Gosh I am such a dork… Here am I thinking it was I will wear what I want…. pfff. I finally saw my mistake.

Oh that almost last photo is beautiful. As for the outfit… I like it, but I prefer your previous styling with the red shoes. Although I fully understand it needs to be warm for that. Which it is at the moment in England, isn't it?

Marshmallow made me chuckle! You've definitely avoid being enveloped by the mallow! Do like those shoes on you, Catherine.

I fell in love with this coverall/jumpsuit hybrid the first time you wore it on your blog, dearest Catherine, so I'm very happy to see it again!! As you know by now, I'm a HUGE fan of all things white, black…and every combination thereof!! đŸ˜€ And matching your bag to your hair is GENIUS…you are most definitely a personal style blogger that's way ahead of the game!! đŸ˜‰

Absolutely great outfit Catherine! I love a neutral monochromatic look…not at all marshmallow-esque! đŸ™‚

Catherine you could never look like a marshmallow! Ha, ha. This is a great outfit and I like the casual style. Love your bag and shoes, very cute. I don't wear much white although this summer I did splurge on some white pants and white crop pants. I am even thinking next summer I might invest in a white skirt. I think I finally figured out if I wear the white on the bottom it isn't next to my face making look washed out. I do have a pair of heavier white jeans that I wear in the fall and winter too, so I guess I do wear it more than I thought. Yes I am rambling. Thanks for posting. You always look lovely. – Amy

You wear white beautifully! Thank you for the link up.
This is such a great outfit, Catherine. I am totally in love with your shoes and these overalls. And about freaking time that I was following you – I'll be a regular participant now! Sorry to have been so remiss.
I echo Dawn's comment—nothing like a marshmallow—in fact that thought never even crossed my mind.
I absolutely love the all white with pops of other colors. Usually I'm a color girl, but I've been learning to tame my color with other neutrals too! Funny because starting tomorrow, we're featuring white dresses—and again, I never thought of the marshmallow analogy!!

The thought of a marshmallow never struck me before but it should have – what a fun image, although not necessarily for an outfit. Hahaha. You certainly don't look marshmallowy here. Love your all-white ensemble. Thanks for the linkup. I aspire to this quality of photo and your locations are so open. Sigh.
Love this all white outfit! The white looks really good against your beautiful hair
Life is just Rosie
Love your all white outfit! I wear white shirts and occasionally white jeans, but never together. I might have to give it a try before Fall arrives.
Your headline just cracks me up! And such lovely pictures Catherine. Your haircut is just so pretty. I want one just like it. đŸ™‚ Thank you for hosting and have a fabulous week. xo Sabina
You def do not look like a marshmallow at all!! This overall is perfectly layered and with all the accessories. Is white shoe a thing right now? Good to know!!

Ah! Very nice! Love the all white look! I aim to do another one before summer's end. This style is so fun and I love those geometric earrings , gorgeous! I looked at your shoes and laughed! We have similar shoe tastes as I went to buy those sale pair from AsOS just yesterday and they were out my size! They look great here.
Have a great week!

We finally are getting a heat wave here in the Netherlands( ans so are you!)so I've planned to wear my white dress! But only when there is a heat wave!
Ha-ha! Such an awesome blog post title. I always feel like a doctor or laboratory scientist when I wear all white. LOVE your look. The bag really breaks things up. Great shoes too! I'm glad white shoes are in again!
oh what a great pair of dungarees! I am yet to embrace the style, but i love love love this pair! I think they could look fab with a little breton underneath. They look super comfy too, are they nice and easy to wear? Side note, your hair is looking amazing right now, this length is so so perfect on you!
Thanks so much for this lovely link up, wishing you a fabulous week!XX
You look awesome in off white. And I really love your shoes. I haven't owned white shoes in so many years; I may have to look for some!
Thanks for the link up & enjoy the rest of your Monday!
