In Sass, how do you reference the parent selector and exclude any grandparents?

I have the following sass code:

.class{
    label{
        color:#fff;
        .disabled &{color:#333; }
    }
}

which outputs

.disabled .class label

Is there a way to output the parent selector without including grandparent selectors? For instance:

.disabled label

In SASS, I don’t know select and select from ancestor selectors when using a parent link. With your code, however, a small reorganization might get the same result:

label {
    .class & {
        color: #fff;
    }

    .disabled & {
        color:#333;
    }
}

The following will compile:

.class label {
  color: #fff; }
.disabled label {
  color: #333; }

The parent selector is always a reference to the entire allowed selector from the previous nesting level. There is no concept of “parent” or “grandmother,” especially when clutching selectors or using a parental selector at the end mix water.
