White Custom eShakti Dress with Paparazzi Turquoise Jewelry
We’ve all heard the cardinal rule to never wear white after Labor Day. Thought to have originated in the late 19th century, it was created as a way to distinguish the old money elitists from the “nouveau riche” (new money). Old money had the resources to leave the stuffy, hot, overcrowded cities during the warmer months and wore white as vacation apparel.
But rules were made to be broken! We encourage you to cheerfully and defiantly wear white at any time of year you please and below are some ways to show those old money elitists how to rock white in the 21st century. Purchase eShakti dresses HERE. Purchase the Paparazzi Turquoise necklace from HERE.
1. A colorful statement necklace
Don’t Ask Goldtone Floral Statement Necklace
Gleaming jewel tones pop on the clean canvas of white so don’t be afraid to use eye-catching pieces, even layering several of them together, and pull up your hair to make sure all eyes are on your gorgeous face. When using such drama up top, though, keep your other accessories subdued as to not accidentally create an overdressed look.
