Happy Memorial Day Weekend!  Today I paused for all of our fallen men and women that allow us to be FREE!  Today in honor of Memorial Day, I wore our country’s colors Red, White and Blue.

This lightweight sapphire lace mesh sheath dress was perfect homage to Memorial Day.  A lot of ladies think they cannot pull of a straight silhouette dress.  But I’m here to tell you that you can.  You all know I’m no size 2.  This silhouette can be very flattering especially when it’s cinched at the waist.  The waistband is built-in on this dress, that eliminated the need for a belt.  Love how the lace is see-through at the bottom, shoulders and back.  The diamond mesh overlay provides tons of venting for a hot day like today too!  I feel really good in this dress.

Blue earrings served as my main accessory. I didn’t need a necklace, the scalloped neck with the same diamond mesh detail was enough.   And I’m never without a bracelet or two 😉 .  Of course I had to wear RED shoes!  This patent leather shoe has a bit of a platform and pointy toe was the only choice.

My BAG, a flap clutch had all the red, white and blue I needed to round out this color scheme.

There is BEAUTI in everything, find it…

Remember our fallen men and women as you celebrate Memorial Day!
