What To Wear For Memorial Day Weekend

With Memorial Day this weekend I thought I would show you some possible Memorial Day outfits.  I've included a wide range of outfits for all sorts of weather and activities!  It was fun to go through all these old photos and see the places I've been and what I wore.  This year we won't be doing anything special for Memorial Day because we are staying home and working on the house.  My husband and I will be laying a concrete driveway together.  PRAY FOR US!  It's hard work!

Chambray Dress

I've had this little chambray dress in my closet for years, and I STILL wear it!

Chambray Skirt with White Denim Jacket

Add a red bag or shoes if you want a more patriotic look.

Linen Red Top with Linen Beige Shorts

If red and white is too patriotic for you, try red and beige/natural.  If you live in a hot climate, linen is a great fabric choice too!

A  Little White Dress

For a more formal get-together wear a Little White Dress.  Add a pop of red or blue color in your bag, shoes, or jewelry for a more patriotic look.

Light Blue and White

If navy blue isn't your thing, try a baby blue!

Red Skirt With a Blue and White Striped Bag

For a very dressy patriotic outfit, try a red skirt with a white top and add a pop of blue with a blue and white striped bag.  Be sure to add a sunhat for sun protection!

Red Pants

If you live in a cooler climate like I do, pants mights be a better Memorial Day option.  A chambray top with a blue and white tank underneath plus white booties makes the outfit very patriotic.

Stars and Stripes Forever!

For those of you who want to really honor our veterans, go bold with a star print tee, red shorts, and white accessories.

If you live in a hot climate, keep cool this Memorial Day in this comfortable jersey tank dress.  The stripes are already here, add some stars with some star jewelry.

More blue and white stripes in this outfit.  Add a red handbag or wear red sneakers for more patriotism.

White Knit Jacket Over A Red And White Plaid Top

It's always cold and rainy on Memorial Day in my neck of the woods, so this is the perfect outfit for me!

Red Top with Blue Jeans and Blue and White Striped Bag

Add a blue and white striped bag to this look, and you have a great patriotic look.



Red Top with White Shorts

Here's the same top as pictured above but with white shorts.  Switch out the shoes, bag, or headband with blue and you've got a great patriotic look for hot weather.

What I Wore On Memorial Day

What did I wear for Memorial Day?  Well red, white, and blue of course!  We had gorgeous weather for Memorial Day Weekend...sunshine and 70 to 80 degree temperatures!  How often does that happen?  It's usually cold and rainy.

We celebrated Memorial Day in Wheaton, Illinois with our kids.  We went to the Memorial Day Parade, then to Cantigny Park, and finished the day at the shopping mall scooping up Memorial Day sales!

I wore a new red and white plaid sleeveless top from CJBanks, blue skinny jeans, and my Adidas NEO Courset Sneakers.


The top is very lightweight so it keeps me cool and comfy in the hot temperatures.  I think it will be a great layering piece in the fall by adding a denim jacket or cardigan over it.


 It is longer in the back than it is in the front, so it's very flattering.  I can't wait to try this top with a pair of Bermuda shorts too!



The top is gathered slightly at the shoulders and has an attractive v-neck-line.  It also has a half button placket, so I can open it up to reveal a tank underneath if I want.


These pictures were taken at a wildflower field in Cantigny Park.  I will share more about this beautiful park in a future travel post.


But I did want to share with you how much fun we had at the Wheaton Memorial Day parade.  We couldn't believe how many bands they had and how amazing they were!  We were also very impressed with the turn out for the parade.  This is downtown Wheaton as we await for the parade to begin.

I loved listening to all the patriotic music the bands were playing.  It was so wonderful to see people take some time to appreciate our veterans and celebrate our great nation!



Have a Great Day!  Amy
