white on white

It's pretty clear by now that the "no white after Labor Day" rule is outdated, but Memorial Day is still the official start of Summer dressing. As much as I love an all-white look, I find myself surprisingly intimidated when it comes to layering on stark white pieces. This Summer, I'm going to make it a point to rock this style more often.

On another note, happy Memorial Day! I hope you're all enjoying your long weekends! I wish I could enjoy some fun in the sun, but it's business as usual for us in the news!

rule breaking

Isn't it weird that once upon a time someone thought they could make a rule about when to wear certain clothes? The oddest one has got to be "no white after Labor Day." Huh?!

Most people have rightly disregarded this rule, but a lot of people still shy away from wearing white pants come September. Autumn is the best time for white pants! They're the perfect neutral for layering fall colors on top of. With a chambray top and boots, you've got what has to be one of the cutest Fall looks. Black flats, white skinny jeans and a black driving coat would be too chic for me to even handle.

I created the above look on Polyvore and now I'm feeling like I need an army green satchel like that one by Proenza Schouler. If only I had an extra $1,225 lying around.
