dog days of summer

{ What I Wore: Armani Exchange halter top // J.Crew white denim // Steve Madden sandals // Spike the Punch necklace // Matt & Nat purse }
Get the Look
halter {$11.50} + white denim {Designer $120 // Discount $32} + bow sandals {$30} + white purse {Designer $95 // Discount $49.99 } + punchy accents {necklace $10 // bracelet $12 // ring $10}
A little birdie told me that tomorrow is September... and I am trying my hardest to ignore it! Where did my August go?! (I am a little extra attached to this month because it is MY birthday month... and yes, I do claim and celebrate all 31 days!)

Getting the most of my summer favorite: white jeans, bright jewels, melon lips, gauzy tops
So now that Labor Day weekend is officially upon us... are you packing up your summer whites? Or will you be a rebel rocking white into Fall and even Winter? (gasp!)
In my wardrobe, white is officially welcomed after Labor Day - but for some reason it only applies to jeans/dresses, as I still feel taboo carrying white handbags or wearing white shoes on into September.... must be residual guilt trips from my mother
Where do you stand on this serious issue?
Are you pro or con for white after Labor Day

  4. I love your halter and necklace combination. What a great summer look!! I have never really followed the no white after Labor Day rule, but I honestly don't have that much white in my closet, so I guess it doesn't matter haha.

    I hope you have an awesome weekend!! :) (I also cannot believe that August is already over)

  10. I don't think I own any white bags or shoes, but I definitely love white all year round. Been loving the idea of taking a white shift dress and pairing it with black tights for fall and winter. 

    Hope you have a great Labor Day weekend lady!

  12. I love white trousers, I think I only own two pairs that are different, I could use a nice winter white though. You look lovely, the handbag is my favourite! :)

  13. You are still in your summer clothes huh? Yeah I think it's time to ditch white jeans and go back to the regular colors.... maybe unless you are in Costa Rica or somewhere tropical and white is a year-round color...

  14. I would call 90-95 days with lots of humidity still pretty tropical in these parts! The chill of Fall usually doesn't show up until Thanksgiving! But I love the South and after 25 years am pretty adapted to its fickle weather situations! xx

  15. Yes, I will totally wear white into fall.  That is definitely one rule I throw out the window. You look so cute, love that necklace! :)

  19. First off, thank you for being one of the very few people on my bloglovin' feed NOT wearing your best fall look yet because all these blazers are just making me mad that it's too ridiculously hot out to wear them!

    Secondly, I love this look! I think yellow is a really pretty color on you! And to chime in, I think white can be worn year round. I don't really get why that's even a "rule" - where what you want, when you want!

  20. I love the necklace!

  22. Thank you dear - red and yellow are two colors that don't show up much in my closet... maybe I should work on that ;)

  28. I always find it funny reading you Americans worrying about white and Labor Day - we don't have that rule (obviously - we don't have Labor Day, and we're heading into Summer)! Yay for having a birthday month! I don't get one seeing as my birthday is in December and Christmas kind trumps it :)
    PS Thanks for your Disqus tips -  I'm in the process of having all my comments 'migrated'. Hope it hurries up and works - am a little concerned about not being able to see comments on my blog ;)

  31. I agree. I will totally rock my white skinny jeans or a white blazer into fall/winter, but not a white handbag or shoes.

  39. What a lovely outfit! Haha maybe I should celebrate my birthday month.. although it's only 28 days (29 on a good year :P ). As for white after Labor Day, I think that's a silly fashion rule!

  43. I think white after labor day is a yes! :)  The only items I would feel weird about are the same as you: shoes and purses.  Who says you have to live by the "fashion rules"?? :)
