Can I Still Wear White?

So I'm sure you've heard the saying "No white after Labor Day". I don't really follow this rule. I happen to love the look of white and will wear it as often as I can.  

White might be considered a summer color. And classic fall colors are dark and jewel toned. But as we are transitioning into fall, you can incorporate fall colors into your summer wardrobe.

I love the idea of winter white. But that doesn't mean I have to pack away my summer whites on Labor Day. I'll continue to wear my summer white jeans well into Fall. Even in the crisp fall air my white jeans will pair well with suede, leather, velvet and cashmere to carry then further in my wardrobe.

If you're in need of a little inspiration take a look below at some outfits I found on Pinterest! I love looking for inspiration on Pinterest to see what others have done and get ideas for my own outfits. If you don't already, follow me or any of your favorite brands on Pinterest to see how they pair items you might have in your closet!

Love the neutral combination of beige and white. The texture of her sweater bring a coziness to the whole outfit!

These suede ankle booties bring these white jeans right into fall! The chunky gray sweater is a perfect match for the distressed jeans creating a casual but trendy outfit.

If you're wondering when you wear that sleeveless chunky turtleneck sweater, early fall is the time! Paired with white jeans, you are still calling on the summer elements while incorporate a fall feel.

This moto jacket is everything to this outfit. The color and fabric is perfect for fall and pairs beautifully with the rest of her neutral outfit. The white jeans stand out against an ivory base. Plus the accessories are on pointe bringing the whole outfit together.

Here we see the fall burgundy color as a standout. The fabric in this outfit is very summer and will her cool on a warm fall day but the color is all she needs to stand in tune with the season!

Pops of Color on Pinterest!

As a follow up to my last post on color, I've created a board on my Pinterest account to give you some ideas on how to incorporate pops of color into your wardrobe.

I find it helpful to look at other outfits to give me ideas on how to pair things that I already have in new ways. Pinterest is a great place to look for new outfit ideas. You can easily store what you like and go back to it anytime as a reference.

Spring Inspiration

As I start to pull together my spring wardrobe, I like to get inspiration on how to coordinate outfits in ways I may not have considered before. It’s easy to get into a routine with your wardrobe where you always pair the same top with the same bottom every time. I like to try to break that by getting inspiration from other resources to think about pairing things or wearing things in new ways.
 
I was in Nordstrom a couple of weeks ago and one of the ladies working there gave me a copy of the latest March catalog. It’s really nice quality. I use to work with the Creative & Direct Marketing teams for a women’s retail brand that put out more than 30 catalogs a year. I learned a lot about what it takes to put together a catalog and I gained a great appreciation for the catalogs that retailers use as marketing tools. This particular catalog looks like a work of art. As I flipped through the pages, I have to admit that I found myself folding down almost every flap to bookmark items I liked. Both the presentation and selection are beautiful. This is the sort of resource that makes for great inspiration in a new season.
 
Another place I always turn to is Pinterest. If you filter for specifically what you’re looking for, you can find endless inspiration for an outfit or a season. Create a Spring board for your newest finds and add everything from color pallets to prints and styles to accessories. This can be a great way to get ideas for what to wear to your next event or what kind of shoes will go with the new dress you just bought.

Wherever you find your inspiration... look for ways to incorporate it into your wardrobe this season. It might help you to see what you have in a new light!

Here are a few of my favorite picks from the Nordstrom March Catalog to get you started:
