    Need opinions--STAT!

    I am going to a christmas part tonight, and don't want to go out a buy a new dress. it is "cocktail attire" more or less.

    I have this dress I want to wear but I don't know if it's okay to wear white in december.

    what do you think? if you were at an xmas party and saw a girl wearing white would you be like "wtf? it's december!!!"

    I would wear it with red heels, a red feathery/flower thing in my hair and red lips.

    sorry for the horrendously horrible pic.can i wear white to an x-mas party? :  wedding White Dress

    I would 100% wear that. People wear things like white sweaters and peacoats all the time in the winter. And that outfit is cute! Especially with the red details :)

    I think the "no white after Labor Day" went out a long time ago. Tehre are plenty of white winter clothes out there!

    I do think the dress looks kind of summer-y, though. Do you have a bolero or some other jacket type thingie?

    White is appropriate if that is what you want to wear. If it wasn't, you wouldn't be able to find a single clothing item anywhere in that color this time of year, which is not the case at all.

    I think ivory is totally different from white--ivory is a year-round color.  That "no white after labor day" rule only applied to pure, bright white.  That said, it really is dead.  I think that when wearing white, you need to keep in mind the fabric.  A breezy pure white cotton voile skirt would probably look silly in the middle of winter.  White sandals look strange in the middle of winter.  But a sexy white bodycon dress made of rayon or whatever that is in the middle of winter looks just fine.  It's a year-round shape and fabric in one of Christmas's traditional colors.  I wouldn't hesitate with some tights and maybe a sweater.  Hope you rocked it. :)
