Hi, y’all!!!  I hope you had a fantabulous weekend. My weekend was pretty fab.  If you follow me on Insta, you saw I went to a graduation party on Friday and a baby shower on Saturday.  I posted Instastories from both events and my looks (here and here)!  I’ve been doing more Instastories lately, so if you aren’t following me on Instagram, you are missing out!!  There are some stories up right now (probably till around 6 pm today) from an event I went to last night, an awesome event that revolved around Martini and Rossi champagne!  Check it out before it disappears!!  Fun times!

Speaking of fun times…Memorial Day weekend is almost upon us!!! I’m excited for this holiday.  I’m particularly looking forward to the day off from work!  I’ll be headed to New Orleans for the weekend to hang with friends.  If you’re doing anything at all and if you’re like me, you’re wondering what to wear!!  Well, I’m here to help!!  So, I created this board with items that reflect either items I own or items I would like to own that would be perfect for Memorial Day weekend!  Even though you can click on the above board, I will still go ahead and list all the items, so I can talk about why I like them!

1. A sleeved swimsuit!!  – If you’re headed to the beach and looking for a suit that covers your arms, this one is pretty fab and also flattering since it’s black!  It’s under $25 right now at Old Navy!  I bought a similarly styled swimsuit from Amazon that I wore on vacation late last year.  You can see a pic of me wearing it here and you can shop it here.
2. A fun tote! – I think this is a must have for Memorial Day weekend and for summer in general.  It’s perfect for the beach or even just to run errands.  This one from Forever 21 is under $20!
3. Ball drop earrings! – I’ve been obsessed with ball drop earrings lately.  They are so fun, and they’re the perfect addition to your Memorial Day accessory wardrobe.
4. A romper (for some reason the link on the board is not working, but this should take you to this fab romper)!! – I love this one from New York & Co.  Y’all know I love stripes and since these stripes are vertical,  they have a slimming effect!
5. Flat sandals! – These ones are fun and colorful, but I didn’t realize they were sold out when I made the board…and I’m not re-doing it! Lol.  So here are some other cute sandal options: here, here, here.
6. Off-shoulder dress! – I love love love this one from Asos!  It’s only $32 and there are several other colors!! (Blue, Black, White, Yellow, Pink, etc)
7. Pom pom earrings – Pom poms are everywhere.  These Baublebar earrings are super fun!
8. Colorful lipsticks! – Ruby woo lipstick is a classic.  Every lady should have this color.  Flat Out Fabulous lipstick is a fun, rich pink!  I was wearing it most recently in this post.
9. Gladiator heels –  I own these, and I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’ve been wearing these a lot lately (here, here, here).  They are perfect for so many occasions and are comfortable too!
10. Cold-shoulder top – This top is great to keep those arms covered and still remain cool AND be able to wear your regular bra instead of a strapless bra!
11. Panama hat – It’s always a good idea to have some heat protection if you’ll be out in the sun.  Do any of you have a big head like I do?  Hard to find hats that fit?  If so, buy one of these!  It’s a hat stretcher! I have one and it’s incredibly helpful in stretching out hats to fit my big head, and it’s under $12!
12. A maxi dress! – This one is so beautiful from Forever 21.  I ordered one recently (that hasn’t yet arrived in the mail) in the blush color, but it was a really difficult decision between the blush and the mint color.  I put the white one on the board because it’s always a good idea to have a white dress this time of year.
13. Sunglasses – Pretty self-explanatory why one would need sunglasses for the holiday weekend…I like to buy cheap sunglasses from places like Forever 21 or Charlotte Russe or H&M because you can get trendy sunglasses for under $10 typically.
14. Polka dot pants! – I love these pants.  I got them from Banana Republic recently.  Right now you can get them for 40% off with the code BRSUMMER!  I wore them the other day (here).  They are the sloan fit that I have raved about in previous posts.  It’s such a flattering fit.  It’s nice to be able to find your right fit in pants, especially in something that comes in different colors and prints so you can vary your look!
15. Shorts!! – I have a pair of yellow shorts that I intend to wear this weekend.  Yellow is such a great color that adds brightness to any look.

Hope you enjoyed this post, and that you’ll use some of these suggestions for your Memorial Day weekend style!! Thanks so much for reading!
