Yes this white look is intentional and no I did not forget to move my Summer clothes to the back of the closet.
Style is all about personal choices and aesthetics as opposed to laid down rules regarding what to wear and when to wear them. So for those that say wearing white after Labor Day or in Fall is a fashion faux pas I say snap out of that mindset. ‘GET OVER IT’. You are the boss of you after all, Ha!

That's right, if your thinking whites are seasonal and there's no need to invest in them, hold your horses 'cos white ain't just a summer hue anymore. It cuts across seasons. Winter white is real and fabulous after all. So rock this between labor day / memorial day and anytime after.
To successfully pull off whites in the cold season I consider:
-Pairing it with boots as against pumps / sandals
-Ensuring its long sleeved or have a layering piece underneath
-A mock or turtle neck is definitely a plus
-A fabric thick enough to provide some level of insulation. Cotton and linen don't really cut it
- Lots of tights out there feel and look like second skin and will take a look from Summer to Fall while maintaining your style
-Layering Layering Layering
Keeping warm while staying stylish is always the goal.

And if dresses let alone white ones are not your thing, what are you loving. Pants are always a go to. Check these ones from Betabrand out. This pair here is a fave.

CAUTION!! Curve hugging white outfits tend to show all the things we want tucked away and nicely hidden. A lot of gals shy away from clingy whites for this reason. But hey, if you don’t want to be limited to the loose fitting silhouettes then spanx up darling and look as smooth as melted chocolate in that curve hugging white number.
For some reason, I didn’t wear white enough in the Summer time so I’m still yearning for and craving it like it….fill in the blank. Uh-oh, now I'm curious to know what you filled the blank with, hmmm. White looks also have a way of being as unique as they are chic so who cares what the calendar says, I’m styling white one more time before I let go of the golden season. I've also been told I look good in white so I gravitate towards it a lot.
To carry this Spring /Summer trend into Fall/ Winter, It’s got to be clean, fresh and fuss free. Erm, fuss free? Not so much. At least not with these statement flare sleeves even though they turned the edginess of this look up several notches and upped the glam factor while keeping me covered up and warm. Complete with a pair of nylons and lace boots, this elegant look is totally Fall approved.
Much as I love this dress, I didn't plan to shoot it until I received a lot of compliments wearing it out with my friend in Dallas. Oh and by the way I did go to Dallas for an event last weekend and had tons of fun. I’m still waiting to get all the pictures from all the photographers that covered the event and I promise, I’ll be sharing highlights with you. If you follow me on Instagram (@Fashionably_Idu), you should have seen a short little video of my look that I reposted.
Isn't this look so refreshing?
