White Out

August 30, 2012

Have you seen some of the awesome posts going around about how to wear white after Labor Day? Here’s an example from Tara at Mix and Match Fashion (here) linking up with some other fab. ladies to show you how to not look like an idiot. Me, on the other hand, I haven’t quite experimented with it yet (get with the program Amy!), so that’s why I’m pumping this white dress post out before Monday. 
::Dress BCBG, Purse HOBO, Jewelry Target Tiffany and Co. David Yurman, Shoes Madden Girl (similar here)::
Is this a White Goose??!!??
 I actually wore this dress about two weekends ago (really far away from Labor Day in blogging land) while visiting that handsome guy I like to call Mr. soon to be Coffee Beans. We had the BEST.DAY. You know those perfect days that only happen in movies? Somehow that day happened to us. We slept in (already a winner), got Starbucks (that guys knows the way to my heart fo’ sho’), walked around a park, saw some awesome art work at the Cleveland Museum of Art, went to a Yummy Jewish deli, got gelato and then sadly said our goodbyes. Driving home I was wishing I could just hit the rewind and play it all over again. It was that good.  In addition, this dress has small cutouts and fiance kept saying “do you know I CAN SEE YOUR SKIN?!?” HA!
What does everyone think about the Labor Day white rule? Im actually all against it as long as its done right (refer to link above, those ladies got skillz). #imsogangsta
Art museums? Do or don’t?
p.s. these were shot with a point and shoot, so sorry about the quality!

    Cute side braid! I think wearing white after Labor day is great! Especially since head to toe white is a fall 2012 trend this year. That def makes it ok to wear….right? (I hope!) http://www.embellishconsignment/blog

    Ha, I love your fiance's reaction to the dress. I feel like that's exactly what my boyfriend would say. I'm going to keep wearing white after Labor Day for as long as it still feels like summer – rules were meant to be broken, right?

    i love the braid in your hair. i always end up looking funky when i try to braid and leave it down- so my braids always end up back in a bun. like right now.

    ps- i am a total white-after-labor-day-er. i follow no rules!

    I am a big fan of breaking rules! Especially in the US when you are a bit more likely to get a good day in September than here in rainy Ireland! And with such a gorgeous dress like that, of course you must wear it. Looking lovely today, Avril x

    This dress is great on you.

    I'm totally against the white after Labor Day as long as you wear it right. A navy sweater, white jeans, and brown riding boots = perfection!

    I love that you and your (soon to be) Mr. went to the art museum! I have done that a few times with my mans, its so fun!

    I love the silhouette of the dress on you; it flatters in all the right areas.

    Who invented this BS rule anyway? White works in any season and for every occasion (except, maybe, as a guest at a wedding). Besides, due to the cyclical nature of time every day is after Labor Day.

    I never understood why people said not to wear white after labor day, but this year I think I'm just going to ignore that since I've been loving all the pretty, crisp white pieces lately!! I really like the purple/plum colored bag, a perfect touch of Fall in this outfit!

    I think white after Labor Day is fine, but I don't really have any white pieces that aren't lightweight and not warm enough for cooler weather! 🙁

    Lovely dress, it looks so fresh against the color of the bag. I don't believe in leaving white after Labour day, if white is a good color on you, just wear slightly warmer versions of it in winter.
