Happy Labor Day, everyone! As we all know, Labor Day is the holiday that pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers [x]. BUT most of us use it to celebrate the end of Summer and beginning of Fall. I think both of these are reason to celebrate this wonderful day.
What I don't agree with, however, is the no white after labor day rule. I was reading a blog the other day, unfortunately I can't remember which it was, and the author said she tried to find the source of the "rule" and couldn't find a definitive source. I have never abided by the rule, but I don't have much white in my wardrobe as it is, just a big chunky sweater.
Here are some great ways to wear white in the upcoming months! I am recreating the first look with the aforementioned sweater and a skirt my mom and I just completed!

I don't understand where the rule comes from either. Would love to see that knit sweater & skirt combo. :)

ReplyDeleteHappy Labor Day!
I've never gone in for the rule either - white is such a great fall and winter color!

I've never been one for that rule, white is wonderful neutral to wear year round.

Thank you! More people need to spread the word of wearing white all year round. Even celebrity stylist, Rachel Zoe says there's no rule for white.
ReplyDelete300 looks! i think you did a great job narrowing it down. i never stick to fashion rules anyway. white is great any time of year :) happy labor day!
ReplyDeleteI dont get that rule either. White is a great color to wear year round.
ReplyDeleteWoah, you really did a lot of work for this post! I greatly appreciate it! I've never understood the whole "no white after labor day" but my mother would live and die by it.
ReplyDeleteLOVE winter white and cream outfits - there's something so chic and comforting to them!

The not wearing white rule was always one that I altered, because I love winter whites, especially these trousers that I used to wear. Great post from you dear! Happy Labour day, although I worked today. xx

Time magazine online had an interesting article about the possible beginnings of the "no white after Labor Day" rule: http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1920684,00.html
ReplyDeleteI think the general consensus is that this rule is pretty out of date and we should wear white whenever we want!
That's how to wear white! I wish this rule would disappear. I say white is great for all seasons :)
ReplyDeleteI'm all about white after labor day. The rules are there are no rules, right?
ReplyDeletewearing white still scares me but these looks are fabb!!
