  • wow. loving eleanor’s outfit!! then I saw your shoes!!! loooove them.

  • Your shoes are nice! I want one! If only I’m expecting a baby girl, I’d prolly be buying her those cute silver shoes on Eleanor… :)

  • Stacy & Clinton from WNTW said you can wear white all year long – if the fabric is appropriate for the season. Sounds logical to me!

  • YOur site is very cute.

  • Monique

    I just love this picture! How Eleanor is looking up at you! Heartwarming.

  • Who cares about rules, as long as it’s adorable! :D

  • This is the cutest pic ever. I love how she’s looking up at you!

    Cute! I thought both of you had metallic pink shoes at first.

    btw…Eleanor’s shoes and tights are sooooo adorable!!!! :)

  • wow! Super stylish mother and daughter, love it :)

  • Daria

    I hope not!

    This picture is adorable!

  • I thought Stacey London said that’s an old rule – so it must not apply anymore. There is something called winter white for clothing, right?
    Besides, you two look so adorable…you indeed make everything lovely.

  • I hope not because I am wearing white jeans today! It’s the first time for pants in 3 mos since the temps were 100+ here. I doubt anyone at my office cares though…

    Cute outfits, mama!

  • Polina

    Absolutely adorable! Inspired me to do the same with my little girl (she is 2 weeks younger than Eleanor). I admire your sense of style and always look forward to monthly style posts. What are you favorite sources for clothing for Eleanor?

  • great photo! love the outfits & shoes!

  • Rebecca

    You girls look fabulous! I want your shoes, Nicole!

  • This is a good article from Time about the history of white and Labor Day. It concludes that you’re probably just fine!

  • does anyone else look at this photo and think of the nanny in The Muppet Babies?! That show was my favorite when I was a kid. I always loved that you could never see Nanny’s face, haha.

  • Since it is still in the triple digits here in scalding Las Vegas, yes, we’re still wearing white. Love to know when autumn weather will be visiting us!

  • kristi

  • Love it! I think that rule is totally outdated now!

  • Erika
