White After Labor Day

If you can't quite bear the thought of parting with your favorite bright whites come Labor Day (an antiquated rule if you ask me), here's a great pic of how to transition this season's staples with just the blink of an eye. Move from lighter fabrics to thicker picks like knits, wools and my favorite, sweatshirt material. Even white leather would do the trick. Swap out your favorite sandals and go for booties or the ubiquitous slipper shoe in a darker hue for fall. Keep it light on top and you can go darker for the shoe, the pairing will be perfect for September.
