Fashion Faux Pas

A lot of traditional "Fashion Faux Pas" are now considered mundane due to ever changing fashion industry styles and trends. I love breaking a lot of these traditional rules like mixing metals {i love silver and gold together} and black & brown  {I am pretty sure I saw I saw some of this chocolate chipping as some call it during fash week} oh and then the black & navy rule {y'all this is virtually impossible to not break}. See, I am open-minded when it comes to these things.

But in my own humble opinion, there is one fashion rule that should A-L-W-A-Y-S be followed. No white after Labor Day or before Easter. Sorry y'all... I know this might seem a wee bit old fashioned but call me Granny, cause I can't stand it. And no offense to  you if you do it and wear white with pride in February. Or if you are one of those girls still wearing white sandals with your red game day dress on a Tuscaloosa Saturday in October. It's just not my cup of tea. 

Some people here in the South say you can wear white once it's warm and "it's different in the South." I beg to differ. Just cause it's 85 degrees in April doesn't give you permission to wear white. It's not like every article of your summer wardrobe is white. Admit it, you are just jonesin' to show off your spring break tan.

When I say no white I don't mean absofreakinlutely no white what-so-ever. Winter white is perfectly acceptable {in small doses, like a coat. not head to toe} and white from the waist up {like a white top or blouse} is ok too as long as it's not linen or another summery material. However any white below the belt {unless it's your drawers} is not cool. That means it is NOT okay to wear white shoes, dresses, skirts, pants, shorts, etcetera. Same goes for seersucker. Nothing screams summertime like some seersucker. It is half white, too.  While we're at it we can talk about prints.  If it's a mainly white print, keep it in the closet til Easter.

I understand years like this one... when Mardi Gras falls late hence forth causing a later Easter you can get a bit impatient waiting to pull out your white linen pants and seersucker sun dresses. But puhlease, just for the sanity of the obsessive compulsive people of the world like myself... keep it to a minimal.
