the "no white after labor day" rule...

well...first off...if i confess that i tend to like to break the rules...i'm sure that will let you know my stance on this rule...with labor day weekend approaching us...yay!...i thought i would give my two cents on this dumb lovely rule...

i have to say...this is a question that is often asked...and my answer?? of course you can wear white after labor day...not only because i love to break rules...but it is a rule that doesn't make sense...are you with me?

so yes to the white jeans...yes to the white summer dresses...yes to your white sandals...i mean...if it is mid september...even mid october...and where you live you are still in a hot climate...what are you supposed to do? put on your winter clothes?

as the weather transitions...put away your light white cottons and linens...but yes...you can still wear white...remember the lovely color "winter white? it is called "winter" for a reason...it is now about the fabrics...think heavier materials...

how stunning would a wool or cashmere coat be in winter white? or wool pants or skirt...a comfy white sweater?

as far as the white shoes? well...i have to admit...i am not a fan of white shoes...summer or winter...except for maybe some summer sandals...for a lighter tone...go with a nude color...much more chic...

and most of all...enjoy the long weekend...

  3. You know how I feel about White! Anytime, anywhere. I have a love affair with white. Except for shoes. I own one pair of white shoes and they aren't meant to look glamorous... my "too cool for school" white 'creepers.' White shoes almost always look cheap, but I like these pumps... the heel saves them! Beautiful.
