Today’s outfit is a monochrome one for this week’s color review. After looking once more at all the beautiful color combinations we received from our readers for our Color Symposium, it felt pretty bland to go for a mostly-white outfit today.

So cute! I love all kinds of sweaters but it’s way too HOT for me to even think about sweaters, even short sleeved ones! Are these jeans permanently cuffed or do you cuff them yourself?
That cardi is simply stunning – what a great piece to have in your wardrobe!
I love the oversized cardigan…they’re sooo comfy!

I love that cardigan! It looks so comfy!
I love how you styled that awesome sweater with a really pretty top and big cuffed indigo denim. I love the big button on the sweater and how it reads like a long and lovely pendant. I have sweater envy!
