White After Labor Day? Yes, Please! 17 Pieces of White Clothing You Can and Should Wear After the Unofficial End of Summer
You've heard it a million times: "Don't wear white after Labor Day." But its 2014 and you have to admit, that rule seems played out, like a relic from a stuffier time. Being a modern woman is all about breaking the rules, or at the very least creating some of your own. You can wear whatever you want, whenever you want, so why not shake things up this fall and embrace the snowy shade? As the temps cool off, nothing looks fresher than a crisp white blouse or softly draped ivory sundress. There's no need to get all dark about the end of summer. Just grab a not-quite-yet-seasonal pumpkin spice latte and a lightweight sweater and say hello to September with these 17 bright white pieces.
