Shoes

[ghoti_mhic_uait]

So, does the rule about no white shoes after Labour day apply to Labour day itself or the bank holiday? I mean, today's the bank holiday, which would have given me an extra 3 days of wearing white shoes if I followed that rule.

In other news, Judith rolled over! I really thought she was going to be walking first, she's showed so little sign of rolling.

The only rule I know is don't wear white shoes after Labor Day...

Same here.

Yeah, I thought you got to wear white shoes in the summer but not otherwise...

Oh! I didn't realise they had Labour day on a different day in the US. It always seemed like a silly rule to me. So, I was referencing the same rule, but with different dates.

Huh? What rule?

[alextiefling.livejournal.com]

Labor Day != International Workers' Day - but why worry?

I'm not really, it just occurred to me that there might be a leeway for bank holidays. I don't actually do fashion rules, I just wear whatever I feel like.

"rules"

at least here, I'm pretty sure anyone who ever cared about such things has agreed that that's no longer true.

Also, it's not that kind of Labor/Labour Day; the sort where you didn't wear white shoes afterwards was at the end of summer. The original convention being that summer was an appropriate time to wear white shoes/sandals.

That makes more sense.

I got confused between Labour day and Labor day too. Didn't know they were different, because I'd heard the names, and didn't really know anything about either. Anyway, from the link, Labor day is in September, so the rule would be to keep white shoes on in Summer, as your other readers make clear. If there is a rule, which I doubt.

There really is a fashion rule, as such things are, but it only pertains to white (like paper white) and such things as one might wear to garden parties and the like. Winter white/ecru is perfectly acceptable after (American) Labor Day.

[My mom's generation cares a lot more about this. However, I'm not a big fan of white shoes, mainly because I strongly dislike polishing them.]

Different Labor Day! In the USA it is in September. You have a whole summer to continue wearing white shoes *shudder* if you must.

I don't actually have any white shoes. I had some to get married in, but a week of traipsing around Achill basically killed them.

No pictures of me in them that I could find, but look, they're pretty;
