According to the specification here: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/selector.html#adjacent-selectors
Adjacent sibling selectors have the following syntax: E1 + E2, where E2 is the subject of the selector. The selector matches if E1 and E2 share the same parent in the document tree and E1 immediately precedes E2, ignoring non-element nodes (such as text nodes and comments).
So how can we select the non-element sibling node. For example: in the following html, how can we select the "Non-element text" text?
<div><label>Some text here</label> Non-element text</div>

Adjacent Sibling Selector (+) The adjacent sibling selector is used to select an element that is directly after another specific element. Sibling elements must have the same parent element, and "adjacent" means "immediately following".
A simple selector is either a type selector or universal selector followed immediately by zero or more attribute selectors, ID selectors, or pseudo-classes, in any order. The simple selector matches if all of its components match. Note: the terminology used here in CSS 2.2 is different from what is used in CSS3.
Selecting Only the Next Sibling with Adjacent Sibling Combinator ( + ) The + character used in CSS is a combinator — it combines 2 CSS selectors. It selects the second element, only if it is just after the first element, and both elements are children of the same parent.
In CSS, to exclude a particular class, we can use the pseudo-class :not selector also known as negation pseudo-class or not selector. This selector is used to set the style to every element that is not the specified by given selector. Since it is used to prevent a specific items from list of selected items.
You can't. CSS selectors can only select element nodes. This is why the adjacent sibling combinator works as described.
If you need to apply styles, try applying them to the div and overriding them in the label. This does depend on what styles you're applying, of course, since some of the styles can't be undone or are subject to inheritance.
