The prompt/inspiration for this weeks let it shine link up was a statement piece so I thought it the perfect day to post about wearing white after labor day. My thoughts on the matter . . . I wear what I want, when I want. I understand that wearing white when it’s snowy/rainy/horrible outside doesn’t make since, and I won’t when it’s bad outside. But really what are the other reasons for not wearing white? You’ll blend in with the snow for the winter? Who spends that much time in the snow? A white coat makes you look like a marshmellow? . . . ok that makes sense.
Even with unpredictable Indiana weather I don’t spend that much time in the snow unless I’m fully covered and not in white. So wearing white after labor day while spending most of my time indoors just comes natural to me and I don’t question it. Especially in September when it is still technically summer most of the time. Same thing with shoes . . . I prefer to leave my feet open to the elements unless it becomes harmful. so the sandals remain on unless it’s below 40 degrees – or it’s fall/winter and I feel that boots will look best with an outfit.
And really how do I not look like fall with my dark red and the details on this hat? How do you feel about white after labor day?

September 15, 2014 at 12:55 pmI don’t mind white after Labor day at all! My problem is I’m terrified to wear it. I walk around all day being extra careful and with a Tide stick in my hand. I can’t take the pressure! lol
September 16, 2014 at 12:59 pmhaha! that’s so funny! I freak out when I wear a white dress, but never with this pants for some reason!

Cute hat too! Thanks for linking up. 🙂
September 16, 2014 at 2:21 pmI’m with you totally! I don’t tend to follow the fashion rules at all–I just want to be comfortable. I absolutely love this outfit and that shirt is amazing! 🙂
