Labor Day is on the Way!

Hello, welcome to my blog and thanks for stopping by!

The upcoming Labor Day holiday signifies that the end of summer is on the way
This long weekend is a time for many people to get together with family and friends
 for picnics, barbecues and games, and to reminisce 
about the fun times they had over the past summer months
 I hope this holiday finds you happy and content 
and grateful to be enjoying some happy times!
Do you have special plans for Labor Day? 

Today I am wearing bold stripes in a fun and festive dress 
in bright pink, green, blue and white that would be perfect for the upcoming holiday
I am restyling this white cropped denim jacket that I layered over a skirt and top
in my post titled "Show Your Stripes" back in June, 
and also in July in a post titled "For the Birds"
The jacket has turned out to be very versatile
and has become a summer favorite!




I have worn this little 60's vintage white leather pouch cross body bag 
frequently over the past few summers and have featured it several times on the blog
It's great for when I want to travel light, and just need to carry a few things 


Simple, minimal jewelry with two lightweight silver tone bracelets
and bright pink stone stud earrings


Short, ivory western boots to finish this holiday look


I had to include a red, white and blue outfit,
in celebration of the patriotic holiday!
Wearing a red boat neck top with an all over navy and white rope design
Paired with mid wash, flare leg cargo denim jeans 



This ring handle bag can be carried as a tote or folded over and used as a clutch
It is by Guess, and I have had it for several years
I never tire of it's cheerful bright red color and unusual, versatile design
I tied a red and white geometric print scarf to the handle 
for an extra pop of holiday color! 



Minimal silver tone jewelry for this outfit, too
Open multi-band cuff bracelet and large hoop earrings


White lace sneakers to finish the look




Lovely fresh fruit for a holiday picnic from the farmer's market-
it will be sorely missed when the season ends


Hope everyone enjoys their week and the holiday!

Hi Di, I have not yet thought of Labor Day! I do remember commenting that we didn't go back to school until after Labor Day, which is so different. Love the outfits and the 2nd patterned top speaks to me. Love those cute lace sneakers.
We'll probably do a cook out, i'll see if I can get my hubby to smoke some salmon.
thank you for linking!

I'm looking forward to the long weekend and hoping I may get to sleep in a morning. I love your boatneck top! It's such a great print! And that striped dress is super cute too!

I like the red white and blue outfit, and that fun striped dress outfit! We don't have labour day here in Brisbane but I hope that you have a nice time relaxing and enjoying it when it arrives for you :)

Thanks for joining the Weekday Wear Link up :)

The striped dress was great, and the bowl of colorful fruit was matching!
