Ya know...
I've seen you use the white undies, white tights, and white shirts in all sorts of variations. I really think you are on to something with all three of them together. It is very simple, beautiful, and is a universal look that virtually any woman can achieve. (except for the women who are afraid of wearing white simple underwear of course.)
I reaaaaaallllly love the shoes, but almost think they detract from all of the beautiful angles she produces in this pose, as well as from her expression.
Take away the shoes and start some sort of a women in white series.
As a female viewer, the combination of the three white garments is not intimidating. It doesn't make me feel like I need to lose ten pounds to achieve such a level of beauty...better yet, it does not make me feel (as a viewer) that I need to achieve anything ....because of the universality of expression. This photo makes me wonder. I causes me to reflect. I love that.
I dunno. That is my two cents. I'd love to see replications of this. Again, I think it would be pretty easy for any model or woman to pull this ensemble out of her closet in some form.
oh yeah...
Lets see some of your flickr stuff here already

Well...you're the first one to call me out on this! Congrats, you get the big long explanation! You’ve hit the nail right on the head on why this is a recurring theme of mine.
Simplistic? Yes, very. “Less is More” I want you to look at her; it’s not up for debate as to what the subject of the shot is.
To your points, 100% yes:
It is a universal look that virtually any woman can achieve.
The combination of the three white garments is not intimidating.
No need/pressure to achieve anything.
I’ve always been partial to white because it is simple, but effective, and I also use it to represent innocence and/or purity; playfulness or better yet, a willingness and security to hang on to one small part of youth. No disrespect to the women who wear the sexy lingerie, but I feel women don’t need flashy/skimpy lingerie to be sexy, and frankly some of it is so overdone that sometimes I am unable to distinguish it from swimwear and even some cases, outerwear. Here, there is no mistaking it, it is what it is and I miss that…really miss that…
Another point is, this was the style during my younger years, from the time I became conscious of the beauty of women (probably one millisecond after my birth) up to about a decade ago, give or take a year or two, where there was not as much pressure from society to look at certain way regardless of the cost, not only monetarily but risking health.
Also, you’d stated that you would love to see replications of this theme. The news is good then, as I fully intend to continue with it! Might you be volunteering?
As always, one of my main goals is to capture elegance in my work, and in its creation, doing it quite simply without a lot of wow and flutter. Less is more…
