Hello! Hello!
How is it the eve of Memorial Day weekend? I can't believe how quickly it seems to have gotten here, but I'm stoked that it is finally SUMMER! I've only been talking about it for months now.
The Hubs and I don't have big plans for Memorial Day weekend since we are doing so much other travel this summer (Did you see on Instagram that I snuck off to the Bahamas? More on that coming up next week,) but I'm sure we'll find something to do! I'll make sure it involves cookout food and spending lots of time outdoors.
Since our mountain weather has been a little cooler than average in May, I haven't quite broken out the shorts and tanks yet. I've definitely gotten more use out of transitional outfits like this one.
I've had these casual cuffed jeans for awhile and recently started putting them in regular rotation. I paired them with a bright color shirt and nude wedge espadrilles. I call them "stand still, look pretty" shoes because they are NOT practical at all. Sometimes you just need a little unpracticallity (is that even a word?) in life though.
The necklace is one I use a lot in summer months, especially with some of my casual maxi dresses.
And on a totally different subject, can you believe how cool my flower arch is this season? It started off as two tiny little plants a couple years ago and this is the first year I really feel like I have my flowery little tunnel of awesomeness. 🙂
I'll be hopefully trading in these jeans for shorts soon!
I hope you have an amazing, cookout filled Memorial Day weekend.

LOVE the cuffed jeans. I have one pair of capris and I hate to say they are at least 10 years old! Need to get some new ones lol
JulieWunder says
Haha! I feel ya! I have some old pieces like that too... but if they are classic styles I say it doesn't really matter!

That floral garden is absolutely gorgeous first of all, wow! I love the simple yet chic way you styled these pieces. This is the perfect subtle look for Memorial Day BBQs. I cannot believe those cute wedges are not practical. =(
Do stop by today and linkup with me too, pretty lady. A brand-new Thursday Moda linkup is currently up. Thanks and Happy Memorial Day Weekend! Ada. =)

Dannii @ Hungry Healthy Happy says
I still wear jeans through most of summer, as I am not really a shorts kind of person. I love that colour pink too.
JulieWunder says
Thank you! I went one summer and only bought that color without realizing it 🙂
Deborah @ Confessions of a mother runner says
Cute jeans! I feel like it's too cold to wear my capri jeans and then all of the sudden it's too hot LOL. I love the J crew and Madewell t shirts with them. Have a great weekend
JulieWunder says
Oh I know! We get a sweet spot in the mountains 🙂
Annmarie says
Love those cuffed jeans and all those t shirt options! I don't tend to wear cuffed jeans because I am SO short, haha! But I'd love to if I could find a nice pair that fits right 🙂 Hope you have a lovely long weekend!
JulieWunder says
Haha! And I love the cuffs because they don't look too short!
Shelley Marcy says
You look pretty as ever Julie. I too have found myself in jeans yet lately. Looks like that will end though this weekend with the warmer summer-like temperatures. Let's all go have a great time, but let's also remember those who died after serving in the military. They are why we get to go out and enjoy all those wonderful Memorial Day celebrations. Lest we never forget....
JulieWunder says
You are too kind! Thank you!
Yes, so important to remember the real reason for the holiday.
Mary Beth Jackson says
Cute jeans! Whew it is hot here so I try not to put them on! LOL ! Enjoy the holiday weekend!
JulieWunder says
I totally remember that exact feeling 🙂
