Hope everyone is enjoying the long Memorial Day weekend. I decided to feature a red, white and blue outfit today, not only because it happens to be Memorial Day but because it truly is one of my favorite color combinations. I bought this J.Crew eyelet skirt last year and didn’t get to wear it much. I thought it would be interesting to do an eyelet on eyelet pairing. Somehow, because of the contrasting colors and eyelet variations of the skirt and top, it didn’t feel overwhelming. I finished the look with pops of red, including red lipstick.
Madewell top | J.Crew skirt (similar here and here) | Guess bag (red sold out, similar) | Vince Camuto pumps | Tiffany bracelet | Coach sunnies (similar) | lipstick (Kiss of Life – 111)

Thanks lady! Hope you had a great Memorial Day weekend as well.
Oh Cynthia you gorgeous Mamma. Love the double eyelet, both of those pieces plus the bag and pumps are gorgeous. Way to look chic and patriotic, today!!
Happy Memorial Day. <3 Ada.
Aww, thanks Ada! Hope you had a great Memorial Day.
I’m giggling a little that you commented about my nautical look today with navy, white, and red accents, and here you are wearing navy and white with red accents! I’d say you have a thing going here! It is a great color combo, and I especially favor it with navy like you’re wearing…just looks a little more chic to me. 🙂 Have a great Memorial Day!

I know it’s funny how my eyes just naturally gravitated towards that red, white and blue nautical outfit. Hope you had a great weekend!
Such a classy look!
Thanks, Diana!
The mix of textures is perfect! Sometimes eyelet can be “heavy” but this pairing looks very fresh and natural. And red white and blue is definitely one of my faves as well! Enjoy your day! Thanks for taking time on the holiday to link up!

I love black and white and how you made it so summery with the eyelet and pop of red – that is also the most perfect handbag!

Its so funny that whenever I see red, white and blue together I always think of the French! Anyway, you’re very stylish as usual, I love texture of your pencil skirt, it fits you perfectly. You shoes are cute and I love your handbag!
I love this combination, the eyelet details is perfect. Nice pop of colour with the red and cute shoes too.
I love this color combo, and you’re so right the eyelet patterns are so different it actually looks like you’re wearing two prints that work well together. Very cute.
lovely mix of patterns…. great look as usual! 🙂
