When? Sept. 5, 2012
What for? Coffee with a friend and fun at the dog park. And wearing white after Labor Day — such a rebel!
Fitting that I rediscovered this white sleeveless sweater after Labor Day, isn’t it?! The *fantastic* late summer weather is still going strong, so it’s nice to still be able to break out the shorts.
Details?
- White sweater: Kmart (years ago)
- Geometric print shorts: Kohls (summer)

You’re so cute when you laugh. I mean, you’re cute anyway, but I have a fondness for laughing/smiling bloggers.
And hasn’t the weather been lovely?! I love good weather in late summer.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Thanks! I’ll pass on the compliment to my hubby, who is always trying to get me to crack up while he’s doing photos. And I agree with you, smiley bloggers (like you!) are so much more fun — smiles are contagious, so you just feel better getting to vicariously enjoy another person’s personal joy.
I’s always so warm after Labor Day I can’ even think about this rule until it cools down a bit. I hear it’s over anyway. Someone should tell my mother!
True, the “no white after Labor Day” rule is so passe. Not sure the reasons for that rule in the first place… something to research!
