White Dotted Swiss for the Upcoming Independence Day Holiday

Hello, and happy upcoming Independence Day
 to those of you in the US who celebrate

 

Today, to start the holiday week,

I am wearing a classic, cool summer fabric-

  a white cotton dotted Swiss dress, in a loose-fitting shape

 It has an open banded collarless "V" neckline,

  and buttons down the front, 

with a long, flowing, tiered midi length skirt

Roger is joining me today wearing a red polo shirt,

 so together we can make a red, white and blue pair

Do you and your partner or kids

like to dress to match?

Roger and I like to have fun with it sometimes!

This dress has a pretty detail,

open work lace crochet

 down the center of the elbow length sleeves

It serves a purpose, too-

air conditioned arms

The dress came with a matching self fabric tie belt,

 that I switched for this cheerful Navy blue and white

 polka dot sash to go with the holiday theme

Carrying a fun vintage vinyl box bag,

in yellow, from the 60s

I have been trying to build a small collection

 of yellow accessories, but it is tougher than I thought!

  Yellow it is hard color to find in the shops,

except for soft, light butter yellow just now,

 and I have reverted to looking online

 Yellow is not yellow, is not yellow if you know what I mean,

on the computer screen!

I have been foiled several times

 The sunny primary yellow that I am looking for,

 sometimes arrives at my door more or less gold, 

even if the color is labelled yellow

 The golden autumn color is pretty,

but just doesn't mesh with the clear summery yellow

 I am trying to blend with

I will keep trying!

 🙂 ⭐️ 🌕 😎

Here is a yellow vintage 1950s

 expandable cuff bracelet,

 a pair of yellow and orange enamel flower earrings,

 and a gold tone chain link collar necklace,

 for jewelry with this outfit

A small yellow accessories collection so far! 

The lively polka dotted navy blue and white tie

 I am using as a sash belt today

I love a good pair of espadrilles for summer,

 and these are some of my favorites!

 I have had them for quite a while,

 They are a bold navy and white stripe,

 with woven wedge heels and navy ribbons

Some star spangled holiday treats

for my sweet tooth to enjoy this week!

Hope you enjoy the holiday,

this upcoming weekend!

Our part of the country is in for a massive heat wave

that will include the weekend,

with temperatures in the triple digits!

Be save out there! 🥵
