When is it not a good time for white??

We all know the line. "You shouldn't wear white after labor day!"Fifty points to whoever knows what movie that comes from.

Well it's October 7. And I'm wearing white. White jeans to be exact, with a navy and hunter green plaid frou-frou collar blouse, camel cardigan with gold and ivory buttons, a gold cuff, simple gold earings, and gold sandals (it's Charleston...sandals are good for at least another month).

I would have thought that this "rule" would have been deemed outdated a while ago, but given a few looks I've been given this morning, I'd like to take a moment to address wearing white in the cooler months.

You can do it!! Of course it should be done with care, as all style really should be, and there are definite no-no's, but I'm here to tell you that it's ok to keep your white jeans out of whatever receptacle you store your polka-dot sundresses and bikinis in for just a little longer.

I would say more on the subject, but I think in this case, a picture really is worth a thousand words, so please refer to the exhibits below for confirmation that the white after labor day rule is about as antiquated as the rabbit pregnancy test. And if you don't know what that is...maybe you should google it...
