Cute Top for Summer Styled Four Ways<\/h2>\n

Memorial Day weekend is upon us. It is the official kick-off of the summer season. Many celebrate with BBQ’s and other festive get togethers.\u00a0 It is also a time when we take a day and remember those service people who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. My personal belief is the best way to honor those who have died during their military service is to actively strive for peace. Hopefully, our politicians will make deployment decisions as if it is their son\/daughter is who they are sending off to combat.<\/p>\n

Memorial Day Weekend<\/h2>\n

Of course on this Memorial Day weekend, it was beautiful Friday but the rest of the weekend is a bust. With the kids home from school for an extra day, it is just a teaser of the summer to come. We are all ready for summer and we are hoping the weather will cooperate soon. What are your plans? Do you hang your flag? Visit a Veteran’s cemetery? Or watch the Memorial Day war movie marathon on TMC? My favorite war movie is 1955’s Mr. Roberts with Henry Fonda and James Cagney. Have you seen it? You can probably catch it this weekend.<\/p>\n

Summer\u00a0 Travel<\/h2>\n

With summer firmly on the horizon, I am jonesing for vacation.\u00a0 Last summer, we took a big vacation to Europe but this year we are staying closer to home. We are headed to La Paz for a week and then a week in Catalina. We also spend one week in Little Rock every year for my daughter’s sports tournament. This year we have to go a second time in August. I know. Lucky me! The South in August.<\/p>\n

My family loves to travel and my daughter and I are seasoned travelers. We travel a lot for her sport. Taekwondo has taken us around the world including Korea, China, Uruguay, Chile and Argentina. We have also travelled to almost all of the states in the US. We both love seeing how others live and exploring new cities.<\/p>\n

With all this travel, you would think I would be an expert at packing and in some ways I am. But, I definitely have a tendency to overpack. So when I come across a cute top that can double duty and packs easily, I am all over it. I picked up this Scalloped Eyelet Wrap Top<\/a> from Madewell<\/a> on a whim in the store. Usually, I don’t pick eyelet pieces because my style is more edgy and I think of eyelet as more preppy. But, this top caught my eye and I tried it on. I am so glad I did. It is a flattering top and perfect for spring and summer.<\/p>\n

Cute Eyelet Top<\/h2>\n

The Madewell top is so versatile that I am now an eyelet fan, especially in black. I love it so much, I recently picked up the Madewell Eyelet Village Ruffle Shirt<\/a> too. Eyelet can definitely be preppy but paired with trendy pieces it can be easily dressed up or worn casual.<\/p>\n
