Write After Labor Day; alt title, More “White” Girl Problems
Right after Labor Day, everyone wants us to write about one thing and one thing only. Can we continue to wear white…? Everyone always says it’s okay, but no one really ever does it. We always make bold claims about how we don’t care what antiquated fashion rules say, but then whenever we attempt to walk out of the house in our white jeans, it just feels wrong (and you may note that everything generally feels pretty right about our white jeans, as we’ve pretty much had a love affair with them for the past two summers as evidenced by half of the recent pics of me on this blog).
Even Emily Post’s Book of Etiquette (17th Edition) says white after Labor Day is okay…but we’re on the (white picket?) fence. In Georgia, summer ain’t going anywhere for awhile. So help us ladies, what’s the white thing to do? In the very least, check out these cute cropped Breton’s on sales.

I don’t think Michelle Obama’s winter white dress counts as “white after labor day.”
My take: eyelet–definitely goes in the off season closet and Lilly, should have been out of the wardrobe years ago. But white jeans…like you, elaney, I’m still on the (white picket) fence.

On a cooler day, I wore white jeans with gray boots and gray layers on top and felt very seasonally appropriate.
