Happy Memorial Day friends!
We spent the past three nights in Manchester, Vermont with family enjoying the gorgeous weather and a relaxing weekend. The holiday weekend was the perfect time to wear a new blouse I ordered especially for the weekend of backyard barbecues and patriotism.
This off-the-shoulder top is so wonderfully soft and machine washable that I know I’ll wear it all Summer long paired with shorts, skirts and jeans. One of the partnership items with JCrew this season, the Ratti print top is navy with colorful dots making it a vibrant match for the white jeans I wore this weekend. I found the top easy to wear as the elastic neckline stayed in place most of the night and only needed adjusting once or twice. The length of the top was perfect for my short torso but I would recommend the tall version for anyone who has a longer torso.
The other highlight of this outfit were my new Birkenstock sandals which provided me with amazing support all weekend long. For years my mom has advocated supportive shoes but until this Summer I’ve ignored her recommendations and spent the Summer in sandals that left my arches screaming and feet hurting by the end of the day. The fun rose gold color allows me to pair these with almost any outfit while still enjoying the support all day long. Before investing in a pair of Birkenstocks I suggest going to a local store and trying them on so you get the right size and fit for your foot. They are European sizes and have multiple widths depending on needs.
Wearing: Sunglasses – Top – Watch – Jeans – Sandals
Might I suggest that “Happy Memorial Day” is really not an appropriate thing to say? It is meant to be an occasion to honor those who have lost their lives defending our freedom, not just the kickoff to Summer and to show off fashion.

I repeatedly pick up try on and almost purchase white pants. I can’t 🙂 I’m so flipping messy I know they would be grey pants in a millisecond.
This post is all sorts of awkward. Also, no one cares what you wear.
Steph If you aren’t interested in the fashion posts then just skip the ones with fashion in the title. People actually request them.
