Labor Day Weekend is officially here! Praise Be! Are you staying home for LDW or traveling? Pete and I are currently on a European adventure and very much enjoying the cooler temps. Be sure and follow our trip here. If you are wanting to plan a last minute road trip, check out my favorite Texas travel destinations for ideas. Today I’m sharing some white items and pieces that can not only be worn over Labor Day Weekend, but also afterwards. Just because summer is over does not mean you have to ditch all of your white clothing pieces. I wear my white jeans all year long! That rule about not wearing white after Labor Day is totally outdated. These pieces are especially great for transitioning from summer to fall. Also, be sure and read all the way through to catch the best of Labor Day Weekend SALES. There are some great deals out there!

How to Transition Your Summer Wardrobe Into Fall
Overall, the easiest way to take your favorite summer pieces into fall is to add layers, fall textures, and darker tones to add length of season to them. It's all about navy's, browns, and deeper jewel tones. You can also add leather accessories to give your look a more fall-textured look. This allows you to continue to wear items you love, while still feeling like fall. This is especially relevant in Texas, where it's summer weather well into October. Here are some tips for those items you aren't quite ready to stop wearing yet:
White Jeans
You can absolutely continue wearing white jeans after Labor Day. The key is to pair them with darker colors and fall accessories. Try white denim with a navy, camel, or chocolate brown top, like this navy short-sleeve cashmere cardigan. It's a great piece to make you feel like fall without getting too hot.
Denim Shorts
Denim shorts continue to be a fall staple, especially for activities like a football game or day at the fair. Keep your denim shorts in rotation while it's still warm, but pair them with a lightweight sweater and fashion sneakers instead of a tank and sandals. This striped sweater and these Veja sneakers paired with these denim shorts create the perfect and easy transitional look. When temperatures drop, you can even wear the same sweater with jeans.
Summer Dresses
You may be thinking that you can't wear a white dress into fall. Not true! Add a layer like this denim jacket to instantly make your look for fall-ready. This allows you to wear your white dresses for a longer period of time. Bonus is that most white dresses are currently on sale for Labor Day, so it's a great time to invest in a good one.
Sleeveless Tops
There's no need to put away your sleeveless tops either. Wear them with jeans and a lightweight blazer or cardigan. This will add the lifespan by months! This is also an easy option when the fall mornings are cooler but afternoons are still quite warm. I'm all for a draping-the-cardigan-over-the-shoulders look. It's always chic!
Linen Pieces
I feel similarly about linen pieces. There is no need to fold up your linen pants and linen tops until next year. As we transition out of summer, wear them separately with denim, like jeans with a linen top or a denim jacket with a linen pant. You can also add leather accessories so that you have more of a fall feel. Like I said before, the temperatures are still scorching in Texas, so I want to wear linen as long as possible to stay cool.
Summer Accessories
As you can see, I'm passionate about wearing your pieces for longer than the traditional "fashion rules" allow for. The same things goes with white accessories and summer-themed pieces. For instance, this white tote bag is a super chic neutral bag that can be used year-round. Another piece that is a cute added accessory for early fall are these mother of pearl fish earrings. It adds a chic statement to your look. And of course, sunglasses should be a wardrobe staple year-round.
Outdoor Entertaining Pieces
Although summer is coming to a close, you may still be entertaining outside. Some pieces I love include this fish ceramic serving platter, these eyelet linen napkins, and this bamboo cocktail triple server. Just add these striped outdoor glasses and you're ready for an outdoor happy hour or dinner al freso.
