White after Labor Day

free people, piperlime, $59.99

The question at hand is will you wear white after Labor Day? I certainly will! These old traditions are exactly that..old. I don't feel they apply to fashion these days.  So don't put away those white jeans just yet...I wear my white jeans all through winter. Tuck yours into tall brown or black boots with a cozy sweater. If  you don't own a pair, get some. Now is the time, they are on sale everywhere. That's the thing about buying off season, you can get some great bargains. I bought my daughter a bathing suit last night for around $15. She talked me into it, since she's going on a cruise with her grandparents this winter (lucky girl..)  Only buy something if it fits perfectly and you absolutely love it..Here are just a couple pairs of jeans I found..both are marked down. The Hudson's are some of my favorites, as I've mentioned before. It doesn't matter that the Free People jeans are cropped, since you will be wearing cozy knee socks and tall boots over them.

The brown sweater and boots are available in a variety of colors, including black. I love pieces like this because they are so interchangeable with everything else you already own. Boots look great with jeans, skirts, and dresses..and we already know you can throw a cardigan over anything.. Great price for those boots too. I have had my black pair for almost 5 years, and I wear them ALL winter. Good investment!

 I love love love winter white. It just looks so clean and crisp. This sweater and jacket are adorable.  The white motorcycle jacket is a nice alternative to the black one everyone already owns.  Or try the studded one I mentioned in my fall trends post.   Another great thing about white, is that is goes with EVERYTHING! I love the texture of the open weave on the sweater, and it's sexy. It's hard to find a sexy sweater..
