Hello, and thanks so much for stopping by my blog!
Today I am wearing red, white and blue,
which is the perfect color combination
for the holiday that is just around the corner!
For those in other countries who may not know,
Memorial Day is a national US holiday to honor
the military men and women
who lost their lives in service to this country
We celebrate the lives of these brave men and women 🌟
Memorial Day is also considered the unofficial
beginning of the summer season,
with the return of warmer weather
and a long holiday weekend to enjoy it
The warm weather is much anticipated,
since this spring has been atypically
cool, wet and and barely there!
This upcoming weekend is a traditional time for
picnics, barbecues, and boating
here on the coast of Maryland
Do you have any plans for this special weekend?
One of my holiday outfits
is going to be this red and white striped polo dress
It is a casual knit with a crisp white cotton collar and split neck
I added my own wide, red woven belt
to give the dress some shape,
and added a navy blue and white polka dot scarf in my hair
All the red-no surprise here!
For jewelry I picked out some chunky gold tone pieces
An asymmetrical hinged cuff bracelet, my initial necklace,
and square-round hoop earrings
White lace sneakers to finish the look
Roger is taking the red, white and blue cue
with a brightly colored striped polo of his own!
More stripes and patriotic colors
in a previous Memorial weekend outfit from 2019
Platform wedges are back this year for spring and summer
I have been fishing around for the ones I am wearing here,
but unfortunately I am pretty sure I consigned them
during a closet clean out a couple of years ago
I wrongly thought this style
would not be coming back around for a long time
Silly me! I am holding on to more of my things,
for a longer period of time now
as the trend cycles continue to become shorter and shorter
I am taking a short blogging break,
and will be back on Monday, June 3rd
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, and week to follow!

I don't typically wear anything patriotic on Memorial day but these ideas work for Labor day and the 4th too. I love both of these and especially that first outfit.

I love that striped dress on you! The collar is so crisp and gives a preppy, patriotic vibe. I hope you enjoy your blogging break!
The striped dress and lace sneakers is a terrific combination. Roger's striped shirt is a show-stealer - I love all the colors! Have a great blogging break.
Thanks for linking up with us Di! I really like your red striped dress, such a classic.
I hope you enjoy the holiday weekend and your blogging break!
