Memorial Day Fashion

I love Memorial weekend. It the unofficial start to summer! It’s also a time to remember the sacrifices that were made by our military men and women. We are a blessed nation and we shouldn’t take that for granted.

We will be spending some time with our family. We’ll grill out and hopefully have some time to relax. Of course I was wondering what I would wear so I thought I’d share some Memorial Day Fashion.

I love sleeveless tops and I especially love a collared sleeveless top.

Okay, disclaimer about my next outfit. I debated on whether to share it with you. I don’t wear  a lot of shorts. These are shorter than I normally wear but long shorts look terrible on me. My husband loved this outfit so I’ll wear it on a date night, on vacation or a family cookout.

What are your Memorial weekend plans? Will you be spending time relaxing or do you have lots of plans?

Beauty for the Heart~~ I read this verse during my devotional time this morning. “People are like grass; their beauty is like a flower in the field. The grass withers and the flower fades. But the word of the Lord remains forever.” 1 Peter 1:24-25 (NLV) 

Have a blessed day!

  1. You look cute as always but I am really interested in your dining room rug! It’s the perfect colors for my den – where did you get it? Also, even though this is a fashion blog, I would love a tour of your Southern Home – I love Southern Homes!

  2. I think the shorts outfit looks fantastic! That striped top is so fun, and the coral bottoms, though short, are still very tasteful. You absolutely have the legs to pull them off. I have a couple of veins on the back of my knee that really bug me, though I doubt anyone else notices them, and a weird spider vein on the front of my leg just above the knee that I am considering getting lasered. Then I will feel comfortable wearing above-the-knee shorts again.

  3. Thanks for being brave and sharing… You look adorable! Love both outfits. Have a great afternoon!

  4. You look great in those shorts! You’ve got the legs for them and your husband loves the outfit so go for it Girl!

  5. Great outfits and I agree with everyone – you look great in shorts! Wonderful colors as well!

  6. You’ve got great legs and those shorts look so cute on you! I don’t like the way long shorts look on me either and to be truthful, I’ve seen very few women who can truly wear them well.
    Cyndi, is there a color you CAN’T wear??? That lime green blouse looks so fresh on you. The color just brightens up your face and looks so summery.
    Have a safe and happy holiday weekend. Be blessed!

  7. You look adorable in both. You make a very valid point, that I think is so easy to forget in our pursuits of fashion….our husbands. If something they like is not hideous and rather cute (as is your outfit), then I think it is a great idea to dress in ways they like. Good for you!

  8. How cute you are in the shorts! They look great and not at all an innapropriate length. Happy Memorial Weekend!

  9. You look great in the shorts! I love your blog. Thanks for sharing. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!

  10. Your shorts outfit looks great and makes me so ready for summer! It was 47 degrees this morning in Missouri! I have found it hard to find decent length shorts without their being long Bermuda shorts. I have really long legs so I always feel like I have too much leg showing even though everything is decent and covered so I understand how you feel. However, you look nice!

    I am so glad a snippet and picture of your blog is now showing in the Reader I use for going through blogs. As soon as I saw your picture, I clicked over! Have a great day!

  11. I have to say that you look adorable in shorts! You need to wear them and be proud of the cute figure that you have! Thanks for the fashion photos, I love your Style and your blog!

  12. I don’t wear shorts a lot either, I find skirts cooler and more comfortable. That length is very flattering. Your legs are gorgeous!

  13. Hi Cyndi! You absolutely ROCK in shorts! I wish I could wear them. I live in Dallas and it is hot! But shorts, I have found only work well for my short, thick thighs at home working in the yard! I think you should wear them any where and every where you want!(Well not Church! Ha Ha) By the way, still would love for you to do an article on modesty especially as we 40 somethings talk to our younger daughters about the subject:) I think we may have a similar take on the subject… but I’m interested all the same! Blessings Krista

  14. Both outfits are great, but the shorts are totally adorable. It’s such a fresh look that says, “Let’s go for an ice cream!” Love it! Have a great week-end.

  15. You DO look great in shorts; but having just turned FIFTY I understand your aversion to them (but did I mention you look GREAT???) (AND you’re a spring chicken!!)

    Oooo, I see your “Fashion & Beauty for women over 40” over in your sidebar. You and I should talk sometime….I’d love to talk with a few women who are a little more seasoned in life :).

  16. Wow, your about 2 hours west of Richmond, KY….I am about 2 hours east of Richmond into the Appalachian mountains. How tall are you…and if you don’t mind me asking, your weight?….answer me back on my home page by message…if you want. The reason I ask is I am sure you are around my age(45) and I am on a total fast at this time no food just water…and losing weight successfully. Will break my fast soon and then eat vegan to stay at the weight I want. So far, on my 6th day of fasting have lost 13 pounds.

  17. I love the sleeveless tops! Both outfits look great on you! Xoxo Michele (Hygiene sisters) 🙂

  18. You have very pretty legs, and the entire outfit is very classic, so go for it! (And I never realized how versatile gold sandals could be. They look great!)

  19. You look great in shorts! I have short legs so long shorts look silly on me. I am self-conscious about the spider veins on my legs so I usually wear capris or ankle pants (or skirts/dresses) in the summer.

  20. Love the shorts outfit! You look like summer! As a petite womsn longer shorts only look ok with heels or wedges and that doesn’t always work with my real life. I too rsorted to shorter shorts this summer and will be get around to wearing them and posting them too. Since you’ve gone before me in that, I will have more confidence to do so, thank you!
