stripe my fancy

When I saw {Long Distance Loving}’s Friday’s Fancies theme was “Stripe My Fancy,” I immediately knew I wanted to create an outfit for a Memorial Day backyard party. A Memorial Day backyard party means lemonade, hot dogs, lawn games and the official start of summer.

Stripe My Fancy Complete

 Top | Shorts | Sperrys | Studs | Link Bracelet | Pearl Bracelet | Aviators | Belt

Think of Memorial Day as your dry run for the Fourth of July. Pull together your best red, white and blue. I love how the St. James shrunken tee and red chinos are casual yet polished. Backyard glam.

Tuck the tee into the shorts and throw on a braided rope belt. Pile on bracelets and finally slip into your Sperrys. To me, aviators are best when worn in the summer months. By the pool or by a rooftop bar, aviators pull together any summer outfit. Expect to see them in upcoming posts : )

Are you planning a Memorial Day get together? Stay tuned for easy picnic eats!
