Labor Day

Hooray!  Three day weekend!  Traditionally, Labor Day is the last day you’re “allowed” to wear white shoes.  Fortunately for us, that’s nonsense!  And to prove it, here’s a selection of white shoes you can enjoy now through Memorial Day 2013 and beyond.

The Federale is so classic and ladylike—a lace-covered peep toe pump with a 4.25-inch heel and .75-inch platform.  It’s also available in light pink or black lace, or silver or multi (mostly goldish) glitter—find them at Call it Spring for between $28 and $35.  (The whites are $28!)

Fierce!  Fierce.  The Babe is so sexy—a skinny near-five-inch heel, half-inch platform, slender straps across the toe and around the ankle, and gold and silver studs on the heel!  These could sexy up a paper bag or potato sack, no fooling.  Also available in black; your choice from Bakers for $50.

Look at these beautiful boots!  The RD4111 by Durango are white-on-white cowgirl boots, made of leather with subtle swirls.  I love the contrasting black around the foot and on the 1.25-inch heel—it makes them very sophisticated, I think.  Find them at Zappos for $124.

The Kiss the Bride Flat by Seychelles has an upper covered in fabric rosettes—practical and feminine at the same time.  These would look so perfect under a dark blue jean, don’t you think?  They’re also available in black; yours from Endless for $46.

So throw convention to the wind this fall and strut your stuff in white!
