It's hot as hades well into October where I live. My kids have sweat profusely in their Halloween costumes! I figure as long as I live in a place where it's 85 on Halloween, I can wear white after labor day.
thanks for the feedback! It's hot here too, well into the end of the year and I always thought that "no white after labor day" rule was a little silly... just wanted to see what you girls thought!
Last year, the "in" look was a winter white bag. White bags in January, February, March. What you need to pull it off is the whole package: looking good, cool, chic, and confident. I say, go for it.
I think all those fashion rules have been loosened up in recent years. I think you should wear whatever you like. As long as you feel good in it, who cares?
No. Nor before Labor Day, nor on Labor Day.
However, bags that are cream, bone, champagne, eggshell, buff, ivory, or even some of the more robust off-whites may be worn anywhere or any time that you are not also wearing a sweater, a coat, mittens, or other warm-weather wear, UNLESS one or more of those items is also cream, bone, etc AND that item is one that will be seen with the bag even when you go inside and take off your wraps. Which means that at least one item of your actual clothing must also be that color.
IF you live in a climate where people own coats but only extremely wealthy, eccentric, or foolish people own sleds, then one of those items can be your shoes, however, that would mean you had matching bag and shoes, which may not be a look you want to rock, unless you are even older than this rule-set, which goes back quite a ways, and which I wish to all applicable deities, djinns and spirits that I could shed, because
I WANT ME ONE OF THEM WHITE BAGS!!
AND I DON'T CARE IF IT WOULD MAKE ME LOOK TRASHY, I COULD, AFTER 55 YEARS OF UNRELENTING ELEGANCE, PROBABLY DO WITH A DASH OF TRASHY NOW AND AGAIN.
