Labor Day Outfit Ideas

Hello, and welcome to my blog-

thanks for stopping by!

Happy upcoming Labor Day to you all,

and I hope everyone is having a great summer!

 Next Monday marks the unofficial end 

of the summer season with the long weekend holiday

It seems like just yesterday I was writing

the blog post marking the unofficial first

day of summer

  As usual, I can't believe the summer has flown by so quickly,

  and I am far from ready to start taking on autumn!

 In the "olden days" Labor Day indicated that

  all of us should pack up our white clothes and shoes

 en mass until Memorial Day next year

Oh please, no!

 I am so glad those old rules have gone by the wayside, 

 and no longer apply

  I am happy to be able to confidently wear white

  through the fall and winter months,

without committing a heinous fashion faux pas!

 

Today, I am styling a favorite  

 fresh color combination-sky blue and white

Wearing a short sleeve, white denim jacket

 over a sky blue textured tee shirt,

 with my favorite white high waisted,

 ankle crop denim jeans

Are you a fan of white for fall and winter?

Although I might be packing away

some of my lightweight whites,

the color will stay!

White and ivory are great for brightening up

 the darker, more somber palette of winter

Wicker is a favorite for summertime,

 and I have gotten a lot of use out of this

 round, seashell decorated bag

 It just screams summer, the beach and fun

I chose some silvery accessories to pair with this outfit

 A pair of sterling silver, handcrafted bird shaped earrings,

 a distressed, silver tone cuff bracelet,

 and a thin, silver metallic reptile embossed belt

Get out the belts you may have been storing-

every sort of belt is trending big this fall!  

I love the distressed metallic finish of these sandals,

 but the heel is too high for most of the outfits

  I would want to wear them with

I think they may be destined for

 another more appreciative owner

 

A previous Labor Day Holiday weekend outfit,

when I was also wearing denim, August 2023

These are market bought,

but sun flowers are popping up their beautiful, big heads

all around the neighborhood at this time of year

They are a favorite late summer bloomer!

I hope everyone enjoys their week 

and the upcoming long holiday weekend!
