No white after Labor Day?  Hm, somehow I must've missed that memo.  ;)

I actually was digging through my closet last night and found these super old white pants that I hadn't worn in over a year {heck, probably even 5 years!}.  This is what happens when you don't wear white after Labor Day -- these clothes go into hibernation to the point that they're forgotten!  And so I had to break some fashion rules and take these white pants out for a spin.  I love the almost all-white look {it's just so crisp and clean, isn't it?} and the it really lays all the attention on the hot pink Zara blazer.  I can't say it wasn't intentional...Zara online shopping finally debuted today {you don't know how long I've been waiting for this day}!

I tried to be a good saver and resist buying anything from Zara's online shop, but in the end the free shipping promotion won me over and I splurged on this purple short blazer.  I've been really impressed with the fit and quality of Zara blazers {including items from the more casual Trf line}, so I'm anxious to see how this one works out.

And all this spending turns into good news for my readers -- I'll be adding more things to my blog sale!  There are a few items left from my update this past weekend, but look out for more to be added in a few days!

I love your red blazer Kileen! I'll have to check out Zara's new online shop...this is bad news for my wallet :( And I love the nearly all white outfit too! I never really followed the "no white after Labor Day" rule though. You should wear what you want whenever you want :)

OMG! I can't believe you've actually mantained those white pants for 10 years!!!!! I love to wear white.........but somehow I end up splling stuff on my whites only! :(

And the more I see your pink blazer, the more I fall in love with it... <3

 You know I love the all white look! I also don't really care for fashion rules. :D You look great!
I'm so proud of myself. I haven't even checked out the Zara site yet... I can't do it! I just know I don't have the will power! So sorry I couldn't check it out but I'll be looking forward to seeing you wear it on the blog!
Does your shirt have sequins on it? I have an almost identical pink one that has sequin stripes... :D
So envious of that pink blazer, it's gorgeous!
