Pale Out

When I made my visit over to H&M's sister brand & Other Stories on opening day a few weeks ago, I gravitated towards this scuba top.

Worn over a long length shirt, I treated this off-white scuba top like an actual pullover as you would your sweatshirts and jumpers. Its foam rubber backing and polyester outer keeps you strangely warm. After all, scuba is basically neoprene's cheaper cousin, and neoprene keeps divers warm in the near-freezing water. I paired it back to a pale white denim jean with severe rips for a nice unconventional spin. I slipped into my nude sandals, grabbed the painterly clutch and paled out for the day.

**Note: Fold over the hem on the scuba top for better proportion.
