Memorial Day is almost here…
Guess I am coming over here….bahahahah! No really, I mean it:) If the weather is good..I will definitely be outside enjoying some nature.
Oh and and going to start self tanning NOW!
Barbeques, Family Get Together, Pool Parties, The Lake, Golfing or Maybe a Trip?
What to Wear for your Memorial Day Weekend Events?
Obviously, the colors red, white & blue (even if it’s just one color you stick with)
Beautiful all white summer dress is my favorite pick and then add an accessory. I will usually get a silk or cotton scarf and roll it up like a choker necklace and tie it around my hair or I will wear it in my hair. Madewell has some amazing silk and cotton bandanas that are light enough to not totally make you faint when wearing in the heat. They literally saved my life when I lived in New Orleans.
Any and all light airy dresses, striped, patterned or monochrome - Halter, Cutouts and Maxi’s are in this season.
A long flowy skirt with a basic t-shirt and then load on the jewelry
Basic White T-shirt dress in White - Usually very reasonable priced and you can add a red or blue sandal and loads of jewelry and look like a million bucks
Denim Shorts with a long sleeve striped silk, linen or seer sucker button up
Jumpsuits….they’re your friends!
What to Pack in your Traveling on Memorial Day Weekend?
Sunscreen (Bahahaha) I love SuperGoop GlowScreen (Gorgeous Glow with 40 SPF)
A Sun Hat
Sunglasses
Skirts
Light Airy Dress
Matching Sets
Swimsuit
Cover-up Options
Day to Night Looks….Such as a dress you could add jewelry and change shoes for a nice look if needed
Think of fabric that works well in heat - Most activities or parties are usually (for the most part) outside.
Styling Ideas using the Top Trends in 2023!
I mean anything oversize - Wear an oversize men’s t-shirt as a dress? Why not?
Cargo Pants - If cotton cargo’s aren't appealing think of doing a pair in silk or satin?
Maxi Dresses
Cut-outs
Denim on Denim
Big Bold Color - Lime Green, Magenta, Red, Yellow…and of course a bright Blue for Memorial Day!
Anything Mini
How to Shop Your Closet?
This is hard to hear but always try to shop your closet first!
Do you own a white dress? If not, this is a great time to pick one up because you can add color to the dress by adding accessories and a pop of color with your sandals, heels or Samba Adidas Humanrace Sneakers
T-Shirt Dress
White Shorts with a White Top - Go Monochromatic and add a red shoe or red lipstick or even a belt
Denim on Denim - Cutoffs with a Button-up and roll those sleeves up…and some killer gladiator sandals and you're done.
Do you have a matching set? Matching sets are now staples….pick one up they're all over TikTok and Amazon …and my personal favorite Free People…specifically I like the Tovah Set, Beach Bash Sweater Set, Take me To Paris Low Back Set, Augusta Set, The Bliss Set, The Clean Coastal Denim Set and the Rolla’s Dallas Short Suit Set
What are your favorite drinks, food or appetizers to bring to a Memorial Day Get Together?
I love a watermelon salad
I feel like a really good potato salad is a must…I prefer one made with mustard
I mean my favorite….wait for it…Coconut Cake - It’s light and you can decorate the top with blueberries, strawberries or raspberries even blackberries to make a flag design or just incorporate the red and blue colors
