Will You Be Wearing White After Labor Day?

  

When I was growing up we were taught not to wear white after Labor Day!

Well, things have changed and I am so glad because I think you CAN wear white after Labor Day.

I live in California and our Fall weather is very much like our Spring weather. The nights and morning have a crispness in the air ( I love that!), but our days can still be quite warm in September all the way through October.

Let me show you some Fall looking outfits that feature some white……



A nice pair of white boot-cut jeans always look stylish. You can make it more suitable for Fall weather by adding a cashmere gray sweater, and a yellow jacket.



White dress pants and a black blazer, classic!







Add a pair of cute camel, or leopard leather flats and your are set.



Put on a nice V-neck sweater with white pants and you can call it a Fall outfit.



Nothing says Fall like a gorgeous camel wool coat.



Paris Chic!









Everything about this outfit is timeless and classic! Sign me up!!!





A beautiful white wool coat by Burberry.




Another classic outfit I would totally wear!!
So there you have it!! I rest my case. This girl WILL be wearing white after today!!

How about YOU? Will you be wearing any white after Labor day?

The Freshest Color Of Them All


When I say the word, “FRESH,” what color do you automatically think of?

I know it will be subjective, but I personally think of the color, “GREEN!”

Just think of the crisp crunch when you bite into a juicy green apple…..

Now add an accent color, white to the mix and it becomes even fresher………


There are so many ways to add green to our homes. You don’t have to paint a wall, or buy a green piece of furniture. 
You can take a simple glass bottle and add some freshness to any room……..



Another simple, and inexpensive way to add some fresh green to your  home is with plants. 

Every room should have something living in the form of greenery.

Even in my own home where I already have green and white in my kitchen I still added a touch of greenery with herbs on my kitchen counter………


There are so many clever ways to add green to our homes. 
I have a dedicated board on my Pinterest page just for green. Take a click over there if you would like to see more.



Another place you can see a touch of green and white today is over at Emily Clark’s blog. 
Emily is doing a series of post where she ask ten design bloggers to send her a picture.

Todays post is all about, “What is the last thing you ordered for your home on line?”

I have already given you a hint that mine is green and white, but you will have to go over there to see the great deal of the century I ordered on line…….
