Hello, fashionistas community! Today I join the initiative of the month "New year, new color", which has as protagonist the color white. Personally, I consider white a very versatile color, because like black, it combines with everything and is always present in the basic garments of the closet.
Lately I have been using it a lot, because I feel that it combines perfectly with my brown skin tone and to my perception it is a very elegant and summery color; that is why today I will show you a look that I designed and made for my graduation from the University, in which, the white color is the protagonist. I hope you like it a lot!

You already know the basic shape of all my sketches and in this case it was practically the same as always, I just didn't want to complicate my life and made a very simple one compared to what I have done before.

The next step, designing the wardrobe is always my favorite. I started with the bottom, as I knew I wanted a pair of pants for the occasion; I wanted it to be something cool and that would work for both day and night, as the degree was at 4pm, but I was finishing a little late.
The top took me longer for obvious reasons, since I really had no idea what to do.... I didn't know what to pair the pants with. I had in mind that I wanted a relaxed look and therefore, the top should not be too elaborate, so I opted to add a crop top.
first I did not know whether to put sleeves or not, but I continued with my trend of not showing my arms (I do not usually show them much, I always cover them with a jacket) and therefore I decided to make some big wide sleeves.

Regarding shoes and accessories, these were in gold and silver tones, because I'm not one to use many flashy colors in my look; even, the makeup was also in neutral/earth tones, because for me neutral colors are always a good accompaniment to an all-white look.

This is the look already made and I really liked the result because it does justice to my initial design. At the beginning I didn't have much faith because, for me, pants are the garments that take more work at the time of cutting and sewing, and there was always the fear of making a mistake and spoil the fabric. Regarding the fabric, I used two meters of a very fine linen, because in my city it is very hot and it was not worth wearing something I would feel uncomfortable with.

And that's all... Thank you very much for taking the time to read me, I hope you liked it a lot and I would like to invite everyone to learn to design and make their own clothes, because apart from the fact that it is much cheaper, the materials are chosen only by you and of course, it will be something unique.
