White after Labor Day?

I put together this look with a light colored skirt because I think you can easily rock white in the cooler months.  Simply pair your bright whites with deeper, fall-appropriate colors like camel and this jewel-toned green.

How are you rocking white during the cooler months?

JCrew Delaney Eyelet Dress: A Casual Affair

When I was little, I liked to preserve my favorite things for use on the perfect occasion.  For instance, I had these Pochacco stickers that I was obsessed with, but would never use because I treasured them so much and didn't want to waste them on my school notebooks and papers.

Sometimes I'm like that with my clothes, too. I keep waiting for the perfect occasion to wear them so they won't be "wasted."  The perfect occasion doesn't come around all that often, so some of my favorite pieces, like this classic sun dress, go unworn.  Luckily, clothes--unlike Sanrio stickers--are more than one-time use.
