White denim jacket for winter
You always hear bloggers share that we should wear our white denim in winter. I love wearing wearing my white jeans in winter with either neutrals or my winter sweaters. But what about your white denim jacket? Should it only come out in Spring and Summer?
Last Sunday, as I looked through my closet choosing my church outfit, I came accross this dress. I hadn’t worn it in a couple of years but was not about to donate it because I think the cut is flattering and the colors and patterns are versatile and interesting. But what to wear as a topper? Even in Georgia, winter gets cold sometimes!
Even though the length is church appropriate I like to wear leggings under by just above the knee skirt or dresses at church so as not to attract attention and leggings keep me warm! After trying 2 other jackets with it, I settled on my white denim jacket!
The white jacket adds a crispness and lightness to a dark palette outfit. It added enough warmth for the morning that I was wearing this dress but would not have worked if I was spending any length of time outside since it was 32 degrees.
I added a pair of Nickel and Suede earrings (no surprise there) to pull out the color from the dress. I do wear other earrings but they are my favorites with their lightness.
Having decluttered my jewelry as well as my closet, I am wearing some of my bracelets more. I thought this bracelet would be fun with the dress and maybe would entertain my 2 year old during the church service but he was not interested. My boys tried me that day and I ended up pulling them all out of church for a 5 minute pow wow. I expect them to behave a certain way and they needed some reminders. Hopefully, I will spend less time disciplining and more time praying next week!
So yes to white denim jackets in the winter!

Such a great looking dress, loving the pattern and color palette! I don’t own a white jean jacket but I think it’s great to wear any time of the year. My winter coat is almost white (I used to have an all white winter coat) so why not wear a white jean jacket just the same if your temperature allows! It’s perfect!

I have gotten a lot of inspiration in the last year about wearing my white denim jacket from other bloggers so I have worn it more in the last year than I did in the years I owned it before that.

I actually don’t want spring to come yet, because once spring comes the crazy hot summer arrives 3 weeks later!

You are proving that you don’t have to retire that crisp white denim jacket during the winter- so cute!

A white denim jacket looks fabulous with your dress! It lightens the whole outfit up and brings out the bright colors in the dress! Great combination!

Mireille, this is such a great dress! I can see why you wouldn’t want to get rid of it even if you don’t wear it often. There are so many ways you could style it, too. I love the idea of a denim jacket as a layering piece in the winter. Who says you can’t keep the jacket on while indoors? As for expecting our children to act a certain way in certain environments, I feel your struggle…every day! Thanks for linking up, my friend.

Now that we have had our token snow for the south, I am ok for spring to come.

This is a lovely dress and I like the white denim jacket with it! I only have blue denim jackets in my wardrobe – I really need to mix it up a bit!
Hope you’re having a great start to your week! A bit of a wet one here with all this rain!

Thank you. I found this one second hand and have worn a lot more the last year or so.

A word of support and encouragement for you in having your children in church services with you. I remember when mine were young; sometimes I wondered if I had gotten anything out of the sermon. 🙂 It is so important to have them there, though. They will remember it and will learn from it even when you think they aren’t paying attention.

It is a struggle sometimes but thankfully most week, they do not drive me batty lol!
