The people who read this blog are so smart. 😉
So I took her advice and mixed it up!
I also switched my light grey tee to a darker grey tee to make it a little bit more “fall”.
Oh, and I added a leopard belt, because that’s almost always a good idea.
This was the end result.
And I loved it.
Yes, it’s after Labor Day.
And yes, I’m wearing white!!!

For all of you who have been wondering (and e-mailing) if wearing white after Labor Day is still frowned upon, the answer is a resounding NO!!!! 🙂
I’ll be rocking my white jeans all year long.
My military jacket is HERE (but it is almost sold out again). DANG!
* I’ll give you some more military jacket options in a second. *
LOFT swing tee (I’m wearing a small) / necklace c/o A.C. / earrings / leopard belt
similar white ankle jeans (with great reviews!) / pointy toe cognac flats /
round toe cognac flats option (with fantastic reviews)
Oh…and GREAT news! Those sweet girls over at Accessory Concierge agreed to extend the 20% OFF code for 48 more hours!
THIS necklace and THESE earrings are both from A.C.

For those of you that still don’t believe me about the white jeans thing :), I started a Pinterest board yesterday called “White Jeans for Fall.”
And even with only 8 pins, I think it proves my point quite nicely.
Follow Pinterest Told Me To’s board White Jeans for Fall on Pinterest.
These are the base looks side by side.
Like I said, I switched out the light grey tee for a dark grey.
I switched out the denim jacket for my military jacket.
And I switched out cognac sandals for cognac flats.
It’s the same basic outfit….but with a few easy changes it’s totally fall ready.

I switched out the brass ladder necklace for my new favorite necklace. 😉 Because OF
COURSE I DID.
If you resisted the siren song of this necklace over the weekend, this might do you in.
Remember (like I’d let you forget!) 20% OFF with the code PTMT20.
Let’s just talk about the necklace for another couple of seconds.
THE AGATE!
THE BEADING!
THE COLORS!
You’ve seen them all on here before, but I though I would put them all in one place!
Military Jacket Option #1:
Military Jacket Option #2:
Military Jacket Option #3:
Maybe you prefer a more classic jacket? THIS one fits great!
It’s a little longer than the others I have, so it covers the bootie!
It has a waist that you can cinch in, and it has a very flattering fit. I also love the brass hardware.
military jacket / similar black tee / similar jeans from same maker / earrings /converse
And here are several more options! Just click on what you are interested in!

They are from the same maker of my beloved MUST HAVE jacket and they too are fitted and contain some stretch. They aren’t boxy, and they ARE flattering! And they are READY FOR FALL.
If you don’t have a denim jacket that you love, GET ONE. Find one that you love, and get it. You will be amazed at how often you wear it.
medium wash denim jacket / dark wash denim jacket
necklace (SO cute!)
We are gettin’ ready for fall over here, and I’m having so much fun!
See you back here on Wednesday!

Kate L. says
When I saw Kaitlyn rocking white jeans with booties on the bachelorette, I decided that yes, I will be wearing mine into the fall as well. So happy to hear that you support that idea, too! Loving this look with the military jacket.
Goodbyebreadandcheese says
I love that combo with the grey tee, military jacket and white jeans! I wear it all the time with taupe booties. Definitely one of my fall staples!
Kelsey @ The Peacock Roost says
Love this idea! I'm not sure I'm ready to try pulling off white jeans for fall but I love the way they look in all the pins I've seen!

What size are you wearing in the Hinge jacket (option 3). I love it! I'm pretty close to your size, so knowing what you are wearing really helps!
Sheaffer says
Hi Leeanna! That jacket is actually an x-small. The small fit too, but was roomier. Still, if you plan on doing a lot of layering, that might be a good option! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Leeanna says
Thank you! I really appreciate your response!
shaeken says
I was JUST thinking about if it was OK to wear white after labor day – it was SO HOT that I didn't bust out my white jeans this year so I'm thinking I will be wearing them tomorrow since it's cooled off a bit. HOORAY!! Thanks for the stamp of approval, Sheaffer!
Ny says
Sheaffer! I think it's time for me to admit that YOU ARE THE BOSS OF ME! Yep!
I pretty much own everything on this post. Everything Pinterest (ahem, you) tell me to.
Thanks for keeping us, busy mommas, looking good!
Love your blog!

What a great transitional outfit! I would love for you to do a post on booties with dresses. I have the toms booties and I am looking to buy a new pair to wear with dresses and would love you opinion 🙂
Sheaffer says
I haven't worn booties with a dress yet, but I'm going to try very soon!
The Rohman Family says
Hmmmm, how long have you been showing the military jacket? I've been convinced all this time that 37 was just too old to pull it off. Nope, got one at J Crew. LOVE. THANK YOU!!!!
Sheaffer says
NO WAY is 37 too old! My mom is in her 60s, has a couple, looks great in them and loves them!!!! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Hannah Long says
Sheaffer,
Love the look! Are your cognac flats comfortable?
Sheaffer says
Hi Hannah! Yes, they are. But if you are looking for the comfiest flats in all the land :), then definitely go for the Sam Edelman Felicia flats! Xoxo, Sheaffer
