Labor Day

 

Hello, and thanks for stopping by my blog!

It's hard to believe that summer is winding down already,

the Labor Day holiday is just a week away, and autumn will soon be here

I feel as if the summer has barely gotten started

It has been a very busy one that has just flown by! 

This week I am sharing two fun and festive possible outfits 

for the upcoming long Labor Day holiday weekend 

First, a white tiered dress with sweet banded puffed sleeves

I worn this dress on the blog not long ago

 in a post about summer whites mixed with bright colors

Today, I am switching it up and accessorizing it with red for the patriotic holiday

A white dress is like a blank canvas, it is so versatile!

This little round straw bag has been in heavy rotation this spring and summer 

Today I dressed it up with a red and white striped scarf on the handle

in honor of the holiday

For accessories, I chose silver tone summery jewelry 

Large silver tone and red enamel flower 🌺 earrings and a dolphin figure bracelet  

 

Finishing the outfit with red and white striped espadrilles

These are summer favorites, but I've hardly had them out of the closet this season-

and this seems the perfect outfit for them! 

Next, another outfit in the colors of the holiday

I chose a red and navy blue striped midi length tee shirt dress

that has also been worn on the blog before

 I wore it back in the spring, dressed up a bit

Here it is remixed in a more casual way for the weekend

Accessorizing with a red, white and blue striped grosgrain belt

and a favorite little vintage 1960's white leather cross body bag

More accessories: 

A white wired crinkle fabric headband that I have really enjoyed styling this summer 

In my post from last week, I wore it around my neck as a sort of scarf

Also wearing a silver tone knot bracelet and white glass ball stud earrings

For shoes, I chose these white perforated slip on sneakers

These are cute and fun, but kind of stiff and clunky

and I have only worn them a few times

Buying shoes online is tricky-

no matter now closely I study the descriptions and reviews  

I usually end up with some surprises!

Hope everyone enjoys their week and upcoming holiday!
