Yes (You Can!) to White after Labor Day.

I can’t tell you how many times the women in my family retired their summer whites in favor of more autumn appropriate hues after Labor Day. And while I agree that fall styles and colors do alter your wardrobe a bit (bring on the boots and little leather jackets, baby!), fashion trends of late have taught me that some rules are made to be broken!

That rule is the old adage - “You can’t wear white (on the bottom) after Labor Day.” If you’re like me – you grew up with the saying ingrained in your brain – like there would be major consequences to your actions should you dare wear white on your lower half.

Well, I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t hold true in 2012. In fact, I encourage you to try incorporating it into your look all year long – just pay attention to the shade – something a little more creamy will get you through fall carry you through winter too!

Not sure what to look for? Below are some suggestions (from some pretty fashion-forward items to something as simple as a pair of tights) to get you started!
