Is it Over?

I will say this again- and though the true calendar will tell you it won’t be fall for a bit (and that’s not even counting the temps!)- why does this weekend (Labor Day) feel like the end of summer? Even if you are no longer tied to the school year calendar. Even if you live in a place where it will still be hot in October. Is it (summer) over (now)? Or does it just feel like it?

My mom (and how I was raised. Me? I’m a rebel) will tell you that this is your last weekend to wear white (unless winter white, which is a whole other ball of wax!). I have written about this before (see White After Labor Day). And yet, while there are times in the next few weeks where I will wear white. Linen. And be oh so hot (temp wise), it does feel as if this weekend is the ending of something. When a story ends- even if it’s just a season- what do we do?

Because I am (over)sensitive, this about the time in an ending (even of just a season) that I think bout how things could have, should have, would have been- worn or done. This ending is a bit hard as I do feel as if I kind of wasted this summer. There was so much- I wish I had done and worn and all the things- and it feels kind of incomplete. Where I live, there is a great chance I could wear almost anything in the next few months (yes, it will be that hot–though I am wishing for fall), but all of the sudden I am nostalgic for all the linens and whites and swimsuits I didn’t wear (and all of the swims I didn’t take!). But. If it is over? I am glad I wore this: linen shorts. Linen jacket. Whites. Scarves. Sunnies. Fantastic wedges. It feels like a great goodbye (if it is over) or a great start. Or perhaps a chance to do it right?

Do you think that summer is over this weekend? Are there things you wish you wore? Things you’re glad you did wear? Things you plan to be a rebel with and still wear?

I would love to hear all about them!

However: this outfit is absolutely linked for you below- including this linen shirt jacket (with tie waist) that’s on sale for under $40!!)
