This is what I often do for my clients. Marilyn is fantastic!

How often do you use a white blouse?

I can wear a white top but never a blouse in white. Just does not look good on me especially if it is frilly. I did enjoy the video. Thanks for posting.

I have a lot of white tops ... but only four that can be considered "blouses."

I like white tops and wear them often (twice last week) ... I probably wear one of the blouses once or twice a month.

I frequently wear a white shell: they're nearly impossible to find these days, though.

@bonnielu,To me, having taught color, there are many shades of "white". I understand where Marilyn's philosophy comes from, but there are winter whites, and creams for those who need a softer white. True white can be very harsh on some complections. Marilyn is a "winter" and can wear it.

I have a few white blouses, but I have not worn them in quite awhile. I don't care for structured clothing since I retired and prefer to be comfortable. I'm keeping them though because they don't go out of style.

I wear collared button down shirts constantly but never white. White is not my friend - not even ivory. I look better with color near my face.

I usually don't wear pure white anything because it makes my teeth look unusually more yellow or dull looking even though they are not. If I'm going to wear a white top or blouse it has to be an off-shade of white like cream, ivory or eggshell white. I also don't wear pure white pearl jewelry for the same reasons.

The last time I wore a white blouse was some time ago and it had a collar with colored embroidery on it.

I have a couple of sleeveless white button down blouses that I wear to work with black pants and a color or black cardigan, usually 3/4 sleeve or a pointelle in the warm weather. If it's not too warm on a spring day, I might add a scarf. I need a crisp look for some occasions. I also have sleeveless button down blouses in colors and several other white tops and blouses. White is like a blank canvas for me.

I know what you mean about the shade of white! SG has a shade of white in her butterknit that is absolutely ghastly on me. Hard to describe .... the color is a dingy white.
