Pack up the white pants.

It's my first post, so bear with me.

This blog has been in the brainstorming stage for quite some time. I am not sure whether there has been so much delay because I haven't had the time to sit down and actually write my thoughts out or because I find starting a blog rather terrifying. Some might disagree, but I feel throwing any of my thoughts out into the world of cyberspace for anyone to read a little scary — especially when when my blog has to do with fashion.

Fashion is very subjective, and everyone has something to say about it. But the one common thread between your fashion and my fashion is it makes us feel good. Putting together a great outfit and heading to work, or out and about, or for date night gives us that extra boost of self-confidence to get through it all.

OK enough mission statement and more blog.

What better day to do my first post then Labor Day weekend. In regards to fashion, it's the most loved and hated long weekend all year. Labor Day mean another white pants season has come to a close.

That's right, after tomorrow (Labor Day) it's time to pack the skinny white jeans, wide-leg linens pants and always-reliable cotton chinos into the summer cloths container. Sure we might still keep out all the flirty, frilly tanks that accompanied those prized bottoms — because as we all know those are still good well into the fall — but the white pants have served their season well.

But what is it about those white pants that cannot be carried over into the fall? Is it that the fall season kicks up more dirt that can ruin our purly whites? Is it because once the summer tans fade the prized pants make one look more ghostly than glamorous?

Here's my take...

White pants are fun. They are for bright sunny days out shopping with your mother, Sunday brunches at outside cafe's with the boyfriend and long weekends lounging at the beach.

Summer is about kicking back. And those white pants allow us to show a side of ourselves that only comes out when the Vitamin D plentiful. And once summer comes to a close, we all know it's time to hunker down and get back to work. The leaves will start to change and inevitable so should your wardrobe.
