It's after Labor Day

There's that rule that you can't wear white after Labor Day. We've all heard it, and yet, I am struggling with the fine print. Does this apply to all articles of clothing? Color me embarrassed when, while shopping at the Gap yesterday, Eric took one look at the white items in my hands and said, "It's after Labor Day, you know." To which I replied, "I thought that was just for shoes." And he responded with, "You never hear people say 'Don't wear white shoes after Labor Day.'" Hmmmm. I guess that's true, I have never heard that. But c'mon, is there anything wrong with wearing white shirts? I'm not saying I do it all the time, but I've definitely done it before. And maybe I wasn't given a fashion violation before because I was wearing "winter white." But I ask you, what is the difference?!

So, I need your help, fellow bloggers and fabulous readers of the blog. Is it OK to wear white in some articles of clothing? Or must it be a specific version of white - namely, winter. Do tell!
