Happy Labor Day!

I have a super awesome
pair of white slacks, they look so great on me - I wish I had a picture of me
in them to share (I think the picture to the right is about right).
The story of the pants:
Two years ago in September I was Outlet shopping. I stopped into
Banana and picked up a bunch of items to try on. Before getting on line
for the fitting rooms I browsed the clearance rack for any petite pants in my
size, (any kind of slacks would do since I need lots for work) when I saw them,
perfectly sized pair of white pants. When I looked at the price tag I was
amazed! $14.99! There was no way these would fit me, something had to be wrong.
Low and behold, they fit great and didn't need to be shortened. The
only bad news - it was already after Labor Day so I had to hold off wearing
them until Memorial Day.
All that winter I
anticipated wearing of the slacks. For the past two summers, I have been happily
wearing the pants, but only at very particular times, I'm sure you can relate:
I can only wear them when it hasn't rained for at least a day, a day I
won't have to go to any construction sites and there absolutely cannot be any
rain in the forecast for the entire day. I had a bad experience while
wearing a pair of pink H&M linen pants one summer. It started
pouring, and I was walking around Chinatown only to discover the entire back of
my legs had been splattered with spots of dirty blackness. The pants were
never the same, but luckily they weren't quite as amazing as my current white
pair, although they probably were around the same price.
This past week I wore my
white pants for the last time this year, unless I break the first rule of
fashion. What do you think? Do you wear white after Labor Day?
Do you have any great items of clothes that you are picky about when you
can wear them and that you Shariously love?
