White, But Make It Fall

While convention says white should be put away after Labor Day, I’m here to break all the rules. I do generally try to avoid the “summer white” look, but I will totally wear white and, you know, make it fall.

A fun fact about these ballet flats is that I had them for over a year before I wore them even once. I bought them and then wasn’t sure if I liked them. I even almost sold them when we moved because I just hadn’t worn them at all!

Well, now they’re one of my most worn shoes! I am so glad I kept them because I’m finding the brown oh-so-versatile. I think having this brown belt in heavy rotation has really helped too.

I actually love them so much that I’m considering buying the city sandal in the same color. I think we have a little bit more time where open toes can work, right?!?

Gal Meets Glam Cream Celeste Dress

And this is the Celeste dress in cream! I tracked it down on Poshmark earlier this year because I missed out on the color the first time around. Well, I guess it was so popular that they brought it back in every color. It’s such a gorgeous silhouette and toes the line of casual and dressy just perfectly. (I do recommend going up one size for this one though!)

I love this dress so much that I didn’t want to put it away for the cooler months. I plan on wearing it with brown (like shown), navy, and black to make it work for fall and winter.

I love the Celeste dress in this color!! I have the navy, and have been meaning to add this one! I also break rules, and wear white year round!! My mantra this steamy September has been a “summer outfit, but make it fall” ahahah! We are so on the same page!! Happy official fall, Carly! 🙂

This post is so timely because just this morning I was pondering if I could still wear one of my white Gal Meets Glam dresses. I usually do the same thing and make the ensemble feel like fall with my accessories. Thanks for the reassurance; the entire outfit looks great! (P.S. Get the sandals!)

Wow! You are looking so pretty. I’m obsessed with the style and this white dress. You truly have a good taste of fashion and style selection. I love your fashion style and I just fall in love with these pearl tops. This looks so beautiful. In these days Labret Piercing is a huge trends. Wearing a labret piercing jewelry is a great way to add a little something to your style. I’ll definitely try this outfit with my beautiful nose rings. Thanks.
