Hi Sam! You had a very nice idea. I think white shirt is a staple item in the wardrobe and you know, I still havent found the perfect one! I want one very simple, smooth, with a classy design. Olivia always rules, in every outfits she pulled off a chic and fashionable look, I really love them and for sure they are also inspiring. You have been good as well dear, my fav sets are 6 and 7, in the first combo I love the rock mood while in the second the soft touch. Have a good day, kisses! xo
Olivia is my style icon! I love her!

Inspiring post Sam! I love that you've pointed out how creative Olivia Palermo has been with such a classic wardrobe staple! I love a good white shirt :)
Take care,
Daniella xox
I love Olivia Palermos style!! I love seeing them broken down into the individual pieces, you can really get your head around how she builds a look. My favourite is the burgundy coat, but its interesting to see that she uses the plain white shirt in so many different ways (i hadnt noticed before!)

Olivia is so stylish. She has her own individual style which is refreshing.
Olivia is so incredibly stylish, so she's the ultimate style inspiration! I absolutely love this post Sam! You did such an amazing job with finding outfits of hers, and then taking the time to put together outfit ideas inspired by them. Feeling so inspired!

Olivia never wore anything that didn't look fabulous (as far as I know). How is that even possible? Everyone has a bad day once. Maybe she's not from this world ;-). Everything looks amazing! Great white shirt inspirations. To tell you the truth. I have a few white shirts but not the perfect one. I alway style it pretty boring with a pair of jeans but now I can work on that. Wish you a wonderful day and happy Halloween!!

I'm usually crazy for colors, but this time I'm feeling the crisp white with some neutral hues, that outfit's gorgeous. And I love the third look too, very creative of her. But then again, that's no surprise, she's Olivia Palermo the Magnificent.:D
Great style post, doll. I love how many different ways Olivia wears a white shirt- and this post does a brilliant job of curating 'em all in one place! :)

Happy Friday!!!
She has a great sense of style and my favourite look is the one with the quilted jacket. I always have a white shirt in my wardrobe and I like to wear it with jeans. It's just such an easy outfit.

i used to wear white shirts for orchestra when I was young, so I didn't really wear it when I was older (would remind me of our uniform) but now that I see all this inspiration from olivia, I want to dig out alllll of my old white shirts! haha
She definitely has the best style! Love that burgundy look for the Fall season :)
