Memorial Day

 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!

Carrying my red drawstring pouch bag-

it seems just right for a fun, casual outfit

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

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!
