TGIF!!!! … the excitement never fades!
It’s another edition of my Friday 5 favorites. This one is all about what I’ll be wearing this
Memorial Day weekend. This year is
special because I rarely get to spend it with Mr and it’s our first long
weekend in the 2 months he’s been back from deployment! Cheers to that!
We will be spending it on the coast of NC with our dear
friends. Our goal was ‘toes in the sand’
and our ‘buns in the sun’ but the weather has a different plan #BOO L But we won’t let rain ruin our party. My
bikini is packed and I’m keepin the faith for some sunshine!
This look is what I typically wear on Saturday’s running errands,
brunching with my gal pals or just chillin at home.
Distressed jeans, tank top, sandals and a baseball hat
(essential when it’s day 4, or let’s be real 5, of not washing my hair).
Side Note: Distressed jeans are just the best! They’re soft
and already broken in. Something about
those ripped up holes make me feel super cool – Mr “Whatever you need to tell
yourself” Bless him, I AM cool! J
Also, tank tops are not all created equal. It must conceal ALL of my bra straps, not be
too clingy and not too loose that I look like a sac either. These tanks in linen are the perfect balance
of softness and shape.
Since it’s summer, I ditch the blues and am almost exclusively
wearing white denim. I found these
distressed boyfriends a few days ago and am thoroughly excited to wear them
this weekend. They have just the right
about of rips, loose but not too big of a fit, and super soft fabric.
The tote. It’s a must
in your handbag inventory. Currently I’m
a fraud. I don’t have one. I want one
but I’m having commitment issues! My elbow bags have been great over the years
but I need variety. I’m finding them a bit cumbersome when I’m shopping or
traveling. A tote is a NEED! But how do I chose? It’s basically coming down to price. I have
so many designer bags on my wish list that a compromise is going to have to
happen. Stay tuned.
This tote is on my list of options and the price is right!
This hat is my #1 go-to for hats. The needlepoint flag says it all. Check out
Smathers and Branson’s other needlepoint items including belts and gifts for
the menfolk.
Tip: Opt for darker
ball caps, they hide the inevitable make up stains from your forehead. Oh and it’s a given for your ball caps to have the hole for your pony tail.
Whatever you’re doing this Memorial Day weekend, whether it’s
vacationing, grilling out, partying with friends or just relaxing at home,
please take time to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice, their
lives, for our country and freedom! It’s
a strong reminder of just how grateful I am that Mr returned home safely to me!
Dress Beautifully this Memorial Day Weekend
XOXO Sarah Louise
