Last of the White

Hey lovebugs!
How was your weekend? I hope all of my fellow east coasters stayed safe with silly Irene rolling through. Here in DC myself and The BF hunkered down with Doritos and wine.

Today I thought we'd look at all of the white on sale! I'm a believer in no white after Labor Day other than the classic white blouse or sweater. So why not stock up on white pieces now for next season?

Gap, 1969 always skinny surplus jean, $24

White jeans were huge this season. I love the skinny version here.

Loft, Pintuck Hem Cotton Skirt, $24

This sweet little skirt would be wonderful with a skinny neon belt and a cardi.

Modcloth, Look Your Best Dress, $29

How wonderful is this little rosette? Sleeveless, and a nice hemline.

Target, Mossimo Posie Rope Sandal, $18

These will be the first summer shoe I put on next year. Fabulous mix of textures and it'll look amazing with a new pedicure.

So will you be wearing any white this week before the long weekend? Or are you a white after Labor Day kind of girl?

Be fabulous today!

The Last of the Labor Day Wear

It's almost Labor Day! You know what that means: no more white, no more espadrilles, no more seersucker, and no more madras. Deep breath, we'll get through this together. While summer may be ending, just remember all of the wonderful things you have to look forward to! Like, chunky knit sweaters, tights, pea coats, soups, stews, casseroles, and all of the other things fall and winter bring!

But before we embrace chilly weather and warm dinners, lets give one last nod to the best of Summer!
