If there is one thing about fashion that I hate…it’s RULES!
It’s completely ridiculous to think you can add rules to one of the most creative things a woman does with her time…get dressed! I’m all about freeing yourself from silly conventions that keep you from finding your fashion voice and personal happiness. Everyone knows that there are unspoken (or in the south, loudly gossiped about) rules and regulations for what makes for appropriate outfits for fall. If you grew up with a southern momma you probably heard the rule –no white after labor day– which usually meant no white jeans, shoes, handbags, church dresses, or any white autumn clothing period. Well, there’s no fun in that! Who gets to make these rules of fashion, anyway? Probably someone who never lived in a place where the heat basically sticks around all year long. #TexasStrugglesareReal
I fancy myself a bit of a rule breaker when it matters. It is pretty obvious that fabulous white dresses can still make fabulous white autumn dresses no matter what the rules of fashion are, and real fashionistas know how to break the rules in all the right ways. Anything in the name of creating the perfect outfit! I firmly believe that you can translate white into your autumn style and make all of those rule followers jealous (but hey, if you’re a rule follower, rock on, somebody’s gotta keep us in line). Personally, I love adding some kick butt boots to vamp up a little white lace number, and over the knee boots means more warmth and less need for itchy tights. Pair with a gorgeous bag (mine is a Christian Louboutin for Luis Vuitton…and is so crazy good), a punchy lip, some seriously glitzy earrings, and there is no way you can go wrong. Also, y’all, can we talk about how fabulous my friend is? Love it when I get to be surrounded by strong and intelligent women like her…and turns out she really knows how to rock some white lace and stilettos! Can you tell we have way too much fun together?
Rebellious women unite, and pull out all those white pieces that you put away for the winter. Check out how I styled my white autumn clothing, and FALL in love with your Spring wardrobe all over again!
