Honestly, it’s probably because I rolled out of bed with 5 minutes to get dressed before biking off and arriving late on time to class.  But this white on white business is still snazzy!  Don’t you agree?

(And just look at my adorable lavender toes!)

White’s one of those colors that people are afraid to don.  I know because I used to be afraid of it myself.

“White pants on me?  Hell no!  It’ll make my thighs look HUGE!”

But I finally broke down and bought a pair last spring, and I haven’t regretted it since.  Surprisingly, the perfect white pant seems to slim you!  They are a classic wardrobe staple and worth the investment.

My roommate in Paris, who is also curvy, invested in a pair while we were shopping the “soldes” (French for “sales”).  She found the perfect pair and looks amazing in them!

White pants are also perfect for spring and summer.  Dress ‘em down with sandals during the day, and dress ‘em up at night with some fancy wedges!

Oh, and don’t think that white pants are only for spring/summer.  They can be worn in the winter with a navy sweater and boots.

Très chic! Oui! Oui!

And here is the neighborhood cat interfering in my shot and sporting the orange on white trend!  He’s not the brightest thing in the box (he likes to lie in the middle of the road and won’t budge…), but I think he’s a cutie!

Actually, I’m the only one of my housemates that likes this cat. I’d call him my own and give him a home if they only let me….
