07 Sep Turning Heads Linkup- Wearing White Jeans After Labor Day
Oh, the injustice!
Oh, the sheer nerve of her!
What are these ladies talking about? Could it be that I dared to wear white jeans after Labor Day!
Gasp! Such sacrilege!
My Outfit
One of these days we won’t hear about it being a “thing” anymore. A fashion Faux Paux.
Wearing white year round can be so fresh and certainly beautiful with monochromatic looks of varying shades of white.
Eggshell, cream, off-white, stark white. You can mix these babies!
I always think a soft cream turtleneck sweater paired with white jeans and neutral accessories looks so classy! I will be sharing different ways to style them in the Fall and Winter.
Besides, where are the “Fashion police” anyway. Fashion is an art of expression, and I feel we should wear what we like. ( unless it hurts someone of is damaging in any way.)
Today I am wearing some basic pieces that I absolutely love. When I looked in my closet, I made a note of what I could add in several other colors. Lots of ladies do this. Find one piece you love- for example this silk Equipment blouse in leopard, and buy it in multiple prints or neutral colors. These will act as layers you will wear, mix, time and again. I like to look at Poshmark or sales for silk blouses to wear under jackets, blazers, paired with trousers, pencil skirts or elevating denim.
I am wearing Levi Denizen jeans, and I love these white jeans for the stretch and comfort, as well as the slim leg.
My Marc Fisher croc textured block heels add to the look, and of course I had to take out my gifted Teddy Black structured bag, as I love the rich red with leopard. One of my favorite combinations!
Since leopard is considered a “neutral” like I explained in this post ( with Camo), you could pair any color bag/ jewelry/scarf, with this look.
Happenings
I hope you had a great Labor Day weekend! I did some shopping in Madewell ( first time in there) and I’ll share what I got on the blog at a later time. Had lunch out, went to a new Sephora that opened near my home and bought a Charlotte Tillbury lipstick. I love the colors! Sunday we went to the lake and I paddle boarded while hubby kayaked.
One of my readers, Wendy, suggested that I have the pups in a photoshoot. So, here are my buddies posing for the camera!
Gratuitous Doggy Shots 🙂

Posted at 17:15h, 08 SeptemberJess, I adore the pairing of leopard with white as well as red so this look is a double winner in my book. And then you added cute pups as accessories … brilliant! (LOL) All kidding aside, this is a wonderful outfit and so lovely for Fall (outdated rules kicked to the curb).

Posted at 04:06h, 08 SeptemberI couldn’t agree more, Jess….white looks fabulous at any time of the year! You look absolutely stunning in this outfit—I love the animal print on you! The photos of the pups are super cute too. I’m not sure I would be brave enough to have my dog on my lap whilst wearing white jeans though LOL!!
Hugs,

Posted at 02:10h, 08 SeptemberI’ve often wondered about the reason why there’s no white after Labor Day. Nice to see you breaking the rule! Great to see the pups xx

Posted at 22:30h, 07 SeptemberI love how white can complement the darker fall and winter shades, especially make those jewel tones pop! I love how your jeans look with leopard and burgundy! Such a great fall combo!

Posted at 20:26h, 07 SeptemberLove, love leopard with white jeans! And I’m SO glad that that old fashion rule is going out the window! Your gorgeous bag adds just the right pop of color, Jess. Pups are looking adorable, as always!

Posted at 18:51h, 07 SeptemberYou are so right Jess! Fashion is about wearing what makes you happy and I love how you styled your white denim. The leopard and red are so eye catching while the white denim is so refreshing. Together, it’s an outfit that is very beautiful all around. I can’t wait to see what you bought at Madewell. I love their stuff though my attention has been elsewhere lately, Shein and Amazon. I also love that you did a photo shoot with your pups. They are so cute! I hope your week is off to a great start and happy Tuesday!

Posted at 18:09h, 07 SeptemberJess,
I have always worn white after Labor Day!
I can’t believe that I haven’t been posting on your Link up!
I always look forward to seeing you every week! This summer has been a very busy one of taking care on my farther and dealing with our sweet Bruno.
I love seeing you with your sweet pups!
Hugs,

Posted at 16:42h, 07 SeptemberI am all for white after labor day, in fact white anytime…to me its a neutral and has to do with how you style it for each season. Love your white jeans mixed with the leopard top, and that red bag is a great pop of color. Love Teddy Blake, I have one of their fab bags too!

Posted at 16:29h, 07 SeptemberOnce we start analyzing the “why” of these rules, we can obviously see how silly they are. Why wouldn’t I wear white after Labor Day should be the question, right??
Love this Jess,

Posted at 15:14h, 07 SeptemberI feel like white denim goes with a lot of the fall colored tops really well! It sounds like you had a nice holiday weekend with a little shopping and lake time! That leopard blouse goes nicely with the white pants and your pups are adorable!

Posted at 14:33h, 07 SeptemberAlways love seeing puppy pictures! I typically only wear my white jeans in the fall/winter because it’s just too hot for jeans in general during the summer.

Posted at 08:38h, 07 SeptemberYou always style white so well Jess. Strangely enough as we suddenly have a heatwave after a ‘non-Summer’ I’ve only just bought white pants so I may be following your lead! I just love leopard with red for any season!

Posted at 11:09h, 07 SeptemberThank you Pamela! We are still warm here until about November, it cools down a bit in Oct though. I bet your white pants will come in handy! I love the combo with red too!

Posted at 08:13h, 07 SeptemberOmg!! The pups are ADORABLE and I love their little haircuts.
I think they need their own blog. I miss my little guy so much (Grizzly)!!
That I might have two sweethearts like yours in my life one day makes me feel so much better. ♥
And thank you for the shout-out. Hilarious!!

Posted at 11:07h, 07 SeptemberThank you Wendy! We do keep their hair short here in the South, and I prefer this style. We do alot of active things with them and it wouldnt be practical otherwise! I will always have pups, I just love dogs so much! Sure! 🙂
Mica
Posted at 07:17h, 07 SeptemberLove seeing your pups! And this is such a cute outfit on you – I like the red with the leopard 🙂 Since we don’t have the labour day here in Australia I agree you should wear what you want when you want 🙂
Thank you for the link up!
Hope your week is off to a great start 🙂

Posted at 10:34h, 07 SeptemberThank you Mica, It was time for the pups! I always love red and leopard as well.

Posted at 06:29h, 07 SeptemberI love the leopard with the white jeans. When I was growing up, it was no white shoes after Labor Day or before Memorial Day. How did that translate to jeans, lol? I even wear white shoes/ boots in the fall now too.
Jess Jannenga
Posted at 10:33h, 07 SeptemberI know me too! It is such a silly thing! I love wearing white jeans year round.
