Good Bye White Pants

September 2, 2012

It’s Labor Day weekend.  For me, it’s my last weekend to wear white pants.  I am one of those southern girls who sticks with the tradition of “no white after Labor Day or before Easter” rules.  I never budge on this one, even though it is still 100 degrees outside in September where I live.

This weekend makes me clean out my closet.  I move all of the white pants to the top tier in the closet so that I am not tempted to grab my favorite white jeans.  Goodbye for now to my favorite summer wardrobe staple!

How about you?  Do you stick with this tradition or make your own rules?

    I am old fashioned too. My white jeans are now retired for the next 7 months. I can still hear my mom saying “No white after Labor Day”.

    After living in FL for 18 years, I’ve not really paid much attention to this. My Mom was always a stickler for this while growing up in the midwest. I kinda go back and forth with it. Shoes – no way. I hate white dress shoes anyway. Shorts, again, probably not. White jeans though look great with black or brown riding boots in the fall and there are tons of ways to transition them and get at least another month or two out of them. According to the fashion world, white pants are still a go. 🙂

Just a few of the gems I picked up from the Nordst Just a few of the gems I picked up from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 💛 

After trying on a dozen dresses, these two made the cut (I’m 5’1” and 60 years old) as well as this gorgeous new bag that I couldn’t resist. Classic, versatile, and a little fun—just how I like it!

✨ Which look is your favorite? Tell me in the comments and let me know if you’re shopping the sale too!

Bonus, both dresses are under $100 and I know I’ll wear them for a long time to come. Let me know if you want the links.💖

At 60 years old, I’m walking with intention — At 60 years old, I’m walking with intention — and a weighted vest. Adding this simple tool to my daily walk is already making a difference in how I feel, move, and show up for myself.

Here’s why women over 50 might want to give it a try:
1️⃣ Supports Bone Health: Extra weight = gentle resistance = stronger bones = less chance of fractures in the future.
2️⃣ Improves Muscle Tone & Posture: Great for balance and core strength.
3️⃣ Burns More Calories: A simple walk becomes a low-impact strength workout.
P.S. It’s great for men & women of all ages!💪🏼

It’s never too late to level up your wellness routine. And you can get the benefits while doing your house chores, going up and down stairs, gardening, etc. for even more opportunities to improve bone density.

Do you walk with a weighted vest too? I’d love to hear how it’s helped you!

Comment LINK for more information on this particular vest and why I purchased it after a lot of research.💗 (be sure to follow to receive my message with the link).⚠️
