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
