I have been off the grid for a bit.
I was crazy with dance and if you follow me on insta I mentioned I had nasty infection on my face.
After this weekend, things are finally slowing down slightly.
Memorial Day is the unofficial kick off to Summer and my favorite time of year.
We head down for our first beach weekend. It has always been about seeing old friends, cookouts, heading to the beach and just relaxing.
However...
'We don't know them all, but we owe them all'
We are afforded this luxury, this long weekend to eat burgers, catch up with friends and play in the sand because men and woman have fought for our freedom to do so.
So while you are decked in a festive outfit, drinking your red, white and blue sangria or however you choose to spend this weekend, stop and remember the soldiers who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for us.
pants / top / headband / bag
Other cute ideas...
gingham dress / star denim shorts / tiered dress / split neck top / embroidered dress
striped paper bag pants / tassel earrings / eyelet top / white jeans / straw bag
gingham bathing suit / striped romper
How will you be spending your long weekend?
xx, Elise

I'm super pumped for this long weekend! It's going to be rainy in KC (ugh), but I'm hoping to get some sangria time in anyway, patio or no patio! ;)

I'm glad your infection is better! I'm so sorry to hear that! You look amazing! Festive, but not overly so. Great quote and reminder, too!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad the infection is getting better! How awful to deal with. And thank you for what you wrote about Memorial Day. I feel like the true meaning gets lost in the shuffle of the weekend, with all of the celebrating. You know I love this festive look too!

Your Everlane blouse, vertical pink and white striped pants and blue headband look very attractive styled together and perfect for this lovely weather! I'm glad to read that the infection on your face has gotten better. Your hair and lipstick look pretty. I also love the setting for your outfit photos - it looks like a relaxing place to be.

Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start to Summer, I agree. I love those breezy pants and fun tote which make this outfit modern. But at the same time the fun headband makes it feminine and a little retro. Very chic and unique Memorial Day weekend! Enjoy this fabulous long weekend, Elyse!
