3 Ways to Wear: White After Labor Day

We've all heard the saying "don't wear white after Labor Day," but in fashion, you don't have to go by the rules. Here are my favorite ways to keep white a part of my wardrobe in the fall and winter seasons.

1. Wear your LWD, but throw on a black leather jacket on top. And when it gets a little colder, you can still wear this look with some colored tights. I would rock dark gray or burgundy.

2. Monochrome white. This look was very chic during spring and summer, and you can totally pull it off for fall. Some good rules of thumb are to play with textures (pair knits, wool, and denim), or use outerwear to break up the white on white look. I used both of those tips to create my look.
Sweater- Aeropostale (similar), Jacket- c/o Aeropostale (available in store), Jeans- similar, Boots- Wanted, Watch- Fossil, Bracelet- Gigglosophy

3. Black and white colorblocking. This is the easiest way to incorporate white, because I'm sure we all have a white top or two in our closets. Pair them with black pants and voila! Super simple. And I'm all about a white shoe for fall and winter; just make sure your pants/skirt are a darker shade to create contrast.

  4. It really is silly! And you never hear anyone say "Don't wear black after Easter," so I deem the rule meaningless :)

  16. That second set of photos is so gorgeous, the makeup and lighting and everything! Especially that lipstick is perfection on you!! And I also normally really dislike camo wear, but you made me crave it with that look! Thankfully, you can't really buy it over here haha ;)

  17. This jacket is the first camo piece that has ever made it into my closet- normally I hate it! But this jacket has a little bit of a different camo print to it that makes it not so...ugly haha :)
