I'd been meaning to do a post on it even prior to hearing her thoughts, but somehow haven't accomplished it yet (imagine that *cough cough*). Then the other day I was chatting with Daniela over at D, Etcetera on the very subject and asked if she wanted to do a joint white denim post...then tonight in the shower (I swear the best ideas come when warm water is beating down on my head or just as I'm nodding off to sleep) I got the idea to offer up a White Denim in Winter Challenge.
So here's what I'm thinking - let me know how many of you would be interested in doing an outfit post in white denim right now in the dead of winter. Depending on how many people want to throw in we can schedule the posts all on one day or stagger them over a couple or few in order to see how different people are styling their looks. Girls you know I love a pair of white denim - remember this post from waaaaay back in the day??
Anyway - now it's winter so I have a different pair to pull out and wear an entirely different way. I think this could be a really cool post/set of posts!! So many of you are standing up to your knees in snow drifts while others of us are in sun or partial frost or even experiencing summer in Australia...white denim in winter can be just gorgeous and I think it would be so fun to see the different ways we can keep them relevant in the off season.
Let me know what you think and if you'd like to join in by leaving a note in the comments. We could coordinate and do the posts beginning after next week (date tbd early next week depending on response) in order to give people time to get their pictures taken and posts completed. I would be happy to post the schedule here of who is posting whether it's on one day or over a couple, so that each person's blog gets visited. In the off chance you think I'm nuts - then Daniela and I will be a party of two in our winter whites, but I do hope you'll consider.
And now I say to you...it is weekend time. Let the joyous events of free time commence! I'm off to a wedding on the beach this weekend and hoping to find something suitable to wear while sporting the remnants of a sore throat. Dear Christian Louboutin....

Girl find some white denim, some off white denim, some sort of white pant. This neeeeeeeds to have your participation.

Aww, Id love to, but I don´t have white denim either :-/. Maybe I should get some... Ooh, and suddenly I can see the pics from here, too!

If I had some white denim I totally would.

Brilliant, Carrie. I don't own any, but I can't wait to see how all of the bloggers are working their white denim for winter!

love the pants, shirt, hair, etc. oh and i loved your carbs comment. i had no idea you had some ukranian/polish blood - that is awesome!
Great idea! I would love to see what people come up with. I don't have any white denim otherwise this would be fun to join in!
P.S. Thank you so much for the nice comment! I appreciate your feedback a lot!!
Carrie, I think this was one of my favorite looks for you. The heck w/ the rules... all rules are made to be broken and I for one refuse to be told what to do or put in a box! xo
I usually stay away from white denim after Labor Day just because in the middle of winter, as we are now, we are covered in so much snow that white pants are just not practical. But I am going to Florida next week and I am planning on wearing my white jeans. After all, it is 75 degrees there ..
Now I need to get a pair of white denim. I really love your outfit and that striped tee is so adorable:) Happy weekend, darling
A beach wedding sounds like the perfect way to spend the weekend. Have fun.
I think I will have to pass on the white denim idea. I could never pull it off in 40" of snow. LOL. Fun, though! :)
oooh, i have white jeans...should I do it?!
have so much fun at the wedding this weekend...are you donning stripes?
How fun!!! If only I had white denim...haha
I hope you have fun at the wedding!

the whole 'no white' in winter is sooo 90's! - i wear white in winter all the time - it's totally chic! - now if i was still skinny i'd throw myself on the web in some white, but now, i'm doing u all a favor and keeping my 'white' in seculsion :o)
Dude - I'm down with the challenge, snow be damned! I just scored a sick pair of white skinny Hudson's at the ladies night clothing swap last week, and have an idea for them if I can find all the components in my closet. Lemme know the deets!
Mwah!

Girrrl I love me some white denim!! You skinny little thing!! :) LOVE your nautical outfit!!
I have a pair of white linen pants from Gap that I love and then a pair of white capri denim from DKNY that I am ready to bust out annnytime now when this snow melts away!!!!
Ummm...hello. You do realize that you are totally channeling Jackie O in this ensemble, right? Ohmigosh you seriously look like a socialite about to board a yacht to some fantastic tropical destination. Give me some white pants/jeans/denim NOW!! :)
If I owned white denim (actually, white anything), I'd totally be in! Can't wait to see what you come up with though.

sadly, white denim would be a catastrophe if i wore them now. When theres snow up to your knees, that means slush up to your ankles. dirty, brown, icky, slush. I'd be a mess.
I'm in girl....white jeans in slushy muddy snow? this outta be interesting...but lets do it! Send me the deets and i'll throw something together!
Very chic, pretty lady!! Have a wonderful weekend! xo
i actually dont own any white denim. maybe i should go shopping.
Isabel @ Walk of Fashion
Haha, I'm all about white in the winter! I'd happily do a white denim post (for real, as I almost did yesterday but then changed, hehe.)
Chic on the Cheap
Gasp! *shakes head disapprovingly* Just kidding! I love white denim and am not sure why I don't own any...labor day or not.
I am so down for this! I have a great pair of white denim! But it is also 75 degrees here in San Diego, so it isn't much of a challenge lol.
i am totally IN! i love winter white!

Oooh I'm totally up for a challenge! White denim in a Chicago winter, hmmmm :)
P.S. I always get ideas in the shower!
How fun! I actually love this look, and it's exactly how I wear white denim-paired with a Breton striped t!
I'll send an email to everyone who's interested so we can coordinate (said like that guy from Boomerang). Keep 'em coming! Oooooh the snowy ones, all the warm ones, all the ones! Nerd alert on the white denim front.
xo,

Awww mannnn...I have absolutely NO white denim:(

Loving the crisp classic feel of your outfit! Love all your posts :)
I will look for some white denim this weekend.
I love this picture of you! So Nautical!
This is such a fun idea, Carrie! I want to participate, but I actually don't have a good pair of white jeans. Ugh, what's wrong with me, right? Maybe I could just do white pants instead? Or maybe I'll just watch from the sidelines. I'm excited to see what you wear!

Fun idea, go for it, break some rules! Have a great weekend XOXO
BTW...lovely photo :)
love the bun!
first of all, i love your outfit in that photo! secondly, i also get all of my best epiphanies in the shower. such a great place to think! :) and thirdly, i would be all about this if i owned white denim. i am all about breaking the rules, and the white after labor day rule has always seemed so ridiculous to me. so i'll be with you in spirit and cheering you on!
Two things:
1. I could try to find a pair of white denim pants on sale and post about it, since thats what I do....
2. Did you know that Tucker is on GILT today?! Only a few pieces, but thought you should know!!! ;)
Sadly I've never owned any white denim because of the "Does my butt look big in this?" syndrome and we're in the middle of a scorching summer here. But if I did I'd be in like a flash.
oh girl you look so perfect! those white jeans are amazing, you totally rock in them! I feel like this picture was taken in Venice but maybe more like Venice California! And yes I'll let you know about the camera, only used it yesterday but still in auto mode so I cant wait to get the hang of it!
xoxo

Dude, look how tiny you are!
Rules for when to wear clothes is so ridiculous. I'd join in but I am far too much of a slob to own anything white. It's just asking for trouble :)
Urrgghhh... how do I not own any whit denim - had a pair from a bizillion years ago and think I got rid of them last year?? I am now on the hunt for a pair!
Have a fabulous weekend!
I used to have a sweet pair of white denim pants until someone burnt a hole in them with their cigarette. Oh yes, true story.
Have a wonderful weekend as well! I will let you know how Blue Valentine is!
xo Nadia
I really love this outfit, lady! Such a sucker for nautical looks, and this definitely makes me crave spring time! Your challenge sounds fun, but I don't actually own white denim! So no winter white fun for me! Happy weekend, lovely!
I am in girl!
I usually stay away from white denim after Labor Day just because in the middle of winter, as we are now, we are covered in so much snow that white pants are just not practical.

Carrie your are absolutely gorgeous and I am loving reading through your fantastic blog! I am also gluten free so am loving all the food posts.

Glad you're feeling better C! Seeing as I only own 2 pairs of jeans, none of which are white, I might be unable to participate. Plus I'm enjoying the 40C/110F days too much to worry about jeans. WEEEEEEEE!
Great photo! It makes me long for summer, sigh, only a few more months...
OMG I dont own any white denim! And yea I remember that post way back when -- it was the first post of yours I ever read! I love the way you wear your whites!
I am catching uop with your superb blog after a long time...i have been crazy busy with work, my blog and charity stuff xx
I love your outfit...so cute!
I love white jeans in winter! If I owned a pair I would be in for it, great idea.

Gah, with the "winter" you're having - you SHOULD wear white and sweet sailor stripes. You look fantastic! Hope you had a wonderful weekend.
i am totally against the 'white after labor day' rule! and i do think i know from whence it came (something about rich people vacationing the hamptons, and white being a luxury item back in the day, because it would so easily show dirt and stains and such. the rest of us plebians would be wearing practical, stain-hiding dark colors).
anyway, if i owned white denim, i'd totally be down. but i'm super curious to see what you and your fabulous readers come up with. :)
It's super brave of you to wear such sexual tight white pants...I have to stay away from white denim because it shows off my cellulite :/
This is such a great look on you...what long legs! You look like Audrey Hepburn!
I love this idea and can't wait to see how it all comes together!
So gorgeous! Those pants are soo cute!

If only white denim was in my closet! But, alas, it's nowhere to be found. Eager to see all of the posts!
love your outfit...so classic and chic, and you are in the perfect nautical location!

If there is still a spot, I want to participate with white pants of some sort! :)
sad I'm just seeing this now, but actually probably good because I'm not sure where my white jeans are, haha. You look AWESOME, could you look more beautiful in the nautical wear??
So beautiful and "Jackie O-esque." I've been hunting for white jeans, but no success yet.
I love white denim year round! Your look in this pic is perfectly styled - stripes, bun, sailboats - love love love. I just stumbled upon you...too late to participate?
Hope you are feeling better!
