That whole after-Labor-Day fashion thing

Here's a list that much-beloved American designer Calvin Klein just provided me via email, after one of our daily, lengthy email chats. Kidding -- don't know the man, just have lots of his underwear.

So, pardoning my Pig Latin, ooh-scray the odds-gay of ettiquette-tay! Here's your post-Labor Day list of DOs and DON'Ts:

DO keep wearing white if you want. The only risk now is the same one you always had regarding red wine, soy sauce and the wrong color of bra.

DON'T expect people not to make fun of you, though, for wearing white shoes, unless you are on a tennis court, exercising in general or rescuing Smurfette from Gargamel's house -- especially if you've got plus-size feet.

DO wear linen if it's still in the mid to upper 80s -- until October. Linen's a spring/summer fabric, y'all, and it just looks waaaaay outta place when it's cold. Kinda like your mama on a street corner -- not a pleasant thought, right?

DON'T wear seersucker. I don't care if it's 89 tomorrow (I do, but not in this specific case), seersucker screams summer more loudly than linen does. Put it away. Now. Same goes for Madras.

Have any YOU would like to share? Please feel free -- just keep it clean, will ya?

Peace, love and Calvin ... xoxo

When is the other Jason going to get your blog set up with an RSS so I don't have to rely on my faulty memory to come check it out, it will come to me?!

What about open-toed shoes? And, is it true that you're not supposed to wear socks, etc. in the winter with shoes with open heels?

Thanks for the answer to an honest question, the answer to which must be too obvious for you cool folks to even consider.

While other kids were watching "The Smurfs," Scene Writer Jason Ashley Wright was tuned in to "Style with Elsa Klensch." By fourth grade, he knew he wanted to write, and spent almost three years publishing a weekly teen-oriented magazine, Teen-Zine -- circulation: 2. After earning a degree in journalism from the University of Southern Mississippi, he became the medical reporter and teen board coordinator for the Hattiesburg (Miss.) American, a Gannett newspaper. Eight months later, with visions of Elsa dancing in his head, he applied for the fashion writer position at the Tulsa World, where he began working on Aug. 3, 1998. He is now a general assignment reporter for Scene.
