Every woman should own a white shirt

Every woman should own a white shirt. It’s one of the staples or basics of any wardrobe.

I bought my shirt from Ollie & Max last year after I had Magdalene. I realized I didn’t own a white shirt and that I was missing a vital basic from my wardrobe.

White shirts look great with nearly everything and anything. They can be dressed up or down. They are a great to wear when breastfeeding because any spilled milk camouflages into the colour of the shirt. Here are some current styles that would suit this season.

White Shirts Spring 20142

1. Ollie & Max Shirt $89.95

2. Witchery Stretch Silk Shirt $149.95

3. Bohemian Traders Ruffle Hem Blouse $129.00

The key to finding a good white shirt is good tailoring, sleeves that have the ability to be rolled up and not too see through. The transparency part doesn’t bother me too much because I usually wear a white cami underneath, and in this case below I have worn a white maternity singlet so that I can breastfeed Phoebe.

In this outfit I’m wearing my white Ollie & Max Shirt, a maxi skirt from Big W and an Adorne beaded necklace.  White sandals are from Novo last season.

I bought the skirt as a transition skirt post-pregnancy because sometimes I don’t want to keep wearing my maternity clothes.
