I’ve always been a bit of a stickler with the old fashioned rule about when it’s appropriate to wear white – not until after Memorial Day, of course! Not because I believe in any associated rationale (I’m not even sure I know of any) but because I’m worried that the day I decide to wear white before that magical Monday in May will be the day I’m in a business meeting with the one person who really believes in the rule. That doesn’t mean I don’t break the rule here and there, but when I do it’s with just little touches, like the bottom of this casual yet sophisticated dress. But I will say this – having a little bit of that rule engrained in the back of your brain certainly makes you excited for the season of white and bright to arrive!

Reality Check. I get that the post title sounds like Elmer Fudd saying “Right Before Memorial Day” and that wasn’t intentional. I really couldn’t think of another name for the post! And, to be fair, it is right before Memorial Day.
