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.

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.

A shirtdress is a classic piece to have in your wardrobe. I've loved windowpane print ever since it came into style last spring, so I couldn't pass up this dress from Old Navy during the Labor Day 30% off sale. It is super comfy and so versatile. To show it's versatility, I styled it two ways. For day, a denim vest and neon flats are perfect to dress it down. At night, add a pair of pumps or heels, cinch your waist with a belt, and you have a quick and easy transformation.

Do you even plan an entire outfit around your shoes? That's what I've done here. I love the look of these sleek white patent wedges. They reminded me of a Zara pair for less than half the price!

So, the question is, are these shoes comfortable? Kind of. The height is fine, but the patent leather is pretty stiff, making bandaids on the backs of my heels an absolute necessity. And maybe next time I won't wear them all day at work, and out at night. Ouch.
