White after Labor Day? Yes! I've already made my policy known back in April, and again in June when I was wearing my summer bleaches head to toe. I'm a fan of white, and worn correctly, there is no reason it can't be carried forward when it gets cold outside. Of course, there are some general rules to follow in the winter months such as; cotton poplin, eyelet and crochet are not acceptable; Be careful how pieces are layered -- pay attention to proportion and fabric textures. And finally, white shoes are almost never a good idea. Below are some examples of the right way to handle winter white...

Yes, what's with all the 'rules' anyways? Screw it, I like winter white!
