Memorial Day Weekend is Coming Soon!

Hello, and thanks so much for stopping by my blog today 

I hope those of you who celebrate, enjoy a happy

 Memorial Day holiday this upcoming long weekend!

 This year, as in the past,

  I am dressing in the colors of the holiday

 I usually wear at least one red, white and blue outfit

 around all of the patriotic summer holidays

 This has been a tradition for me for many years

How about you,

do your outfits reflect the colors of holidays?

 

 This year, for one of my Memorial weekend outfits,

 I am going to wear this navy blue jumpsuit

 I bought it at a consignment shop

 It called out to me and seemed such a perfect fit,

when I tried it on

  I am not sold on practically completely undressing

 to go to the loo, but I'm going to give

 this jumpsuit a try today,

to see how easy it is to get in and out of!

Wearing the sleeveless jumpsuit

 with a red and white striped lightweight ribbed

 sweater underneath

My bag is new, I received it for Christmas last year

 I love it so much and think it will really work well

 with my existing wardrobe, since I wear these colors often

It is a quality leather bag from Radley of  London,

 a bit of a splurge, but it was a gift

For jewelry I am wearing a rose and yellow gold wrap bracelet, and gold tone circle earrings

 Also, one of my favorite

 vintage '60s pieces, an apple pendant that is reversible

It is red enamel with a little black and white

ladybug on one side...

and on the other side,

 it flips to the apple cut in half,

complete with rhinestone seeds

So cute and clever!

I didn't really have the right shoes for this outfit

I have all of my sandals and summer shoes out now,

but none seemed right with the dark navy

 I tried my white lace sneakers but the pants are too long

  I went with these cognac woven slides-

(I see a shoe hole that needs to be filled

in my wardrobe),

or possibly if this jumpsuit works out, 

I well hem the pant length

Sprouting herbs indoors for summer salads

Hope everyone enjoys the upcoming holiday weekend!

I very rarely make a mention of politics in this happy space,

 but this is such a terrible time in our nation's history,

 and it is hard to keep a brave face,

and celebrate what should be a joyful time

 

 This weekend is the unofficial beginning

 of the summer season,

as well as a day for 

respecting and remembering those

members of the military who have lost their lives 

in service to our country

The current regime is way more than demoralizing to me,

and huge embarrassment

to the liberal minded citizens of this country

Worldwide citizens,

please believe me, we are not all like this! 

 I long for peace and the end of the destructive

cult in power, 

and senseless war with Iran-

please join me in my wish for peace ☮️
