White after Labor Day? Yes Way!


When I got home today, there was a package at the back door. This made me smile. I love receiving packages!

Inside were my skinny white jeans that I plan to wear all fall and winter. I grew up in a time when you wore white between Easter and Labor Day, but Labor Day is Monday and there is no way that I'm about to shelve these jeans. Now, people wear white year round.

Suze Yalof Schwartz, Glamor's executive fashion editor at large, said if you put away any white after Labor Day, don't let it be your white jeans. A white linen dress, yes. But not your white jeans. Nothing is more chic than white jeans in the wintertime with a chunky, cozy sweater or blazer and leather boots, she told MSNBC.

And that's exactly why I needed skinny white jeans - to tuck into my boots. I have a pair of bootcut white jeans that are cute, but skinny or straight leg just tuck better. I tried them on with the slate Frye Paige Cuff boots and they look amazing!

I didn't want to spend a lot, because they are not going to be my go-to jeans this fall and winter, so I made sure the purchase was frugal - $39.99 on Amazon. The brand is Moto.
