I don't know about YOU, but I've been burning my "fall" candles, in my house, like crazy. Specifically Peppermint Bark, Pumpkin Cheesecake and Cinnamon Apple Peach scents- all from candlesbyvictoria.com. MY favorite, as I've said before (There's no comparison anymore).
So, yes...Labor Day is Monday and hopefully Fall will be right on it's heels- because frankly, I'm sick of this humidity.
Usually, especially here in the good 'ole South, women will pack up all their white clothing/shoes because WHITE IS NOT ALLOWED AFTER LABOR DAY. Or is it? You've probably heard over the past few years that the rule of "no white" has ceased and times have changed. HA! Try telling that to some people.
I, for one, will wear whatever I want, WHEN I want. I don't like being given rules and being told what I can or cannot do. Bullcrap. ;-) I'm not your traditional southern girl, apparently.
Of course I won't bust out a white tank dress or probably even white pants- but a white dress with a cute fall colored cardigan and boots? Heck yes, I will.
"This bit of folklore states, "Southern girls know bad manners when they see them," and a clear sign of bad manners is wearing white shoes before Easter or after Labor Day. Because fashions in the American South can be a little more formal than elsewhere, perhaps the no-white-shoes rule came from south of the Mason-Dixon Line? Even Star Jones (an otherwise fashion-forward Southern lady) admits that white shoes "are for Easter Sunday and not the dead of winter."
Whoa whoa wait....why are you wearing white shoes ANYWAY?? I stopped wearing white shoes when I was eight. Eww. All I see is white patent flashing before my eyes. ACK!!! haha (Ok, I DO have a pair of white ballet flats...)
So, what is your stance on this? Do you still hold true to this rule? If you do, I'm just interested to know why :-)
My new running shoes are white...and aqua :-) I tried on MORE shoes at Dick's, after a failed attempt at Fleet Feet. Here is what, after MUCH deliberation and stress to find the right shoe, I ended up with. Surprise, surprise, they're a cushioned shoe, BUT...(AH HA) also has some stability for mild overpronators (that's me!).
Asics Gel-Cumulus 11
They should be here Thursday. Anyone have these?
I'm sad the Anthropologie sale has been pushed back to Wednesday night/Thursday because of the holiday weekend. Gives me something to look forward to. lol.
Day 1 of my 22 day challenge begins tomorrow! I already have an outfit picked out. I've decided I'll share at the end of the week ALL of my weekly outfits. So for the next month, look for that on Friday's blog post.
Happy Tuesday!
Supposedly, this type of foot needs a Stability shoe- which 'ole girl put me in and that I didn't like.
I really like the cushion and "spring" they give me. My knee used to REALLY hurt me a year and a half ago when I would run. I don't have pain in my ankles, shin or knees anymore since I started 10 miler training 4 months ago- and I think this may simply be because I've gotten smarter with my running since a year ago (i.e. more stretching, taking care, etc.- and I'm running more miles these days, no knee pain.) The SA suggested that if my current shoes aren't hurting me, don't try to fix what's not broken.
