Memorial Day Weekend

IMG_1655.jpg

Happy Friday loves!  Sorry for the mini hiatus last week.  Sometimes my work weeks can just get away from me, and last week was my little sister’s college graduation so we had a full agenda!  But today is the perfect time to start back up again, with Memorial Day being the unofficial start to summer (aka my favorite season!).  My family has a history of public service, and along with the barbecues and the summer concerts, my hometown parade is one of my favorite honorary traditions.

I just had to scoop up this darling fit and flare dress when I spotted it at Macy’s a few months ago.  I instantly knew it would be perfect for the summer’s first official long weekend.  It goes great with boat shoes for walking around comfortably in or participating in some MDW volleyball action, but also looks great with my favorite wedges for dinner.  I love how I can always count on Macy’s for classic American brands and style year round.  Tommy Hilfiger is one of my favorite brands to shop at the closest mall, and you can always find such great deals with Macy’s coupons!  (Mom and Nana, you taught me well).

At long last, Memorial Day is right around the corner! Aside from all of the obvious reasons I love summer (pool parties, beach trips, and general nice weather), the constant excuse to wear Red, White, and Blue is definitely one my favorites.  This adorable Milly for DesigNation dress is the perfect piece for a casual party this weekend.  Just add some of your favorite American accessories and you are barbecue ready!
