No White After Labor Day? | White on White

Hello lovely reader! Happy Labor Day weekend to those of you in the USA and happy weekend to the rest of you! For many of you hopefully this is a weekend to relax, barbecue, maybe head home for the first time after being away at school, and spend time with friends and family. Labor Day has many different associations for people, first hopefully being the true meaning of the holiday which is to honor the American Labor Movement and those in the work force, the end of summer, and also the "fashion rule" of No White After Labor Day which in this day and age has little to no meaning anymore (in my opinion). However I was still interested to see where this rule even came from so I did some research and came to find that white was basically seen as a summer color as it was lighter and kept people cool before air-conditioning existed. It was also a color worn by people who were on holiday representing relaxation, against the "drabber colors" people wore in everyday life to work. That's my little history lesson for you and if you want to read more about it, check out this article on Time. So my outfit post for today is perfect if you want to get all your white clothes out of your system before the holiday or if you want to be a "rebel" bust out your all white on Labor Day or even better, the day after!

This look is comprised of a two pieces that I have had for a couple years and never worn until one day I was editing my closet and had the epiphany to put them together. I love matching sets especially just with a single color. I think there's something super chic about a coordinating look. There's also that moment that you know you've got a good set when someone asks you if that's a dress and you can say, no its actually a top and a skirt that I put together. (Makes you feel quite swish) The blouse is from H&M and has embroidered white dots all over it with white button. The skirt is from Nasty Gal and is white mesh on top of a white knit fabric. The shoes are by Chinese Laundry and are brown with a rose gold strap over the toes. 

Similar tops: H&M Sleeveless Top, ASOS high neck sleeveless blouse, ASOS sleeveless blouse

Similar: ASOS Mesh A-line Skirt (closest), ASOS Asymmetrical Skirt, Little Mistress Midi Tulle Skirt

Accurate Signs and the Perfect Manicure | iPhone Snaps

Hello lovely reader! Another week is here, let's make it a good one. Last week I did a fair share of fun things so naturally I took pics here and there and wanted to share them with you!

One day my mom and I enjoyed the nice weather and spent some time shopping outside. Of course sitting on a park bench enjoying a donut is also necessary when given the opportunity!

I love little signs like these, especially if they're accurate! (Which these are)

I've been curbing my afternoon sweet cravings with this greek yogurt. A perfect sweet treat that keeps you on track!

I absolutely love this! 

Most accurate. 

I've been wanting to get white nails for a while now, and if you follow me on tumblr, you will know that the other day I went and got a manicure. I'm kind of obsessed with how they turned out!

What have you been doing? Xx

Black & White | Tumblr

Hi lovely reader! How are you? As you may know, I love a good scroll through Tumblr! I also have a bit of a fetish for monochromatic pictures. So combine the two and you have this post, a series of black and white photos found on Tumblr. Now go ahead and turn on some relaxed alternative music and have a nice little scroll. Enjoy!
