Happy Memorial Day! I hope while everyone is enjoying the holiday you take some time to reflect on those Armed Forces men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice. These are true American heroes, and I have the utmost respect for their commitment to this nation.

I made today’s post an outfit I would wear to a Memorial Day BBQ with friends. I love this top because in the front it looks like your typical blouse, but when you turn around there is this gigantic bow! This adds a feminine flare to the overall look. Since the bow detail is in the back of the shirt this outfit gives you the excuse of throwing your hair into a simple top-knot or ponytail (spending less time getting ready is a win in my book!). I paired my high waisted ripped jeans and white converse with the blouse to complete this look. What do you think of this look?! I would love to hear from you in the comments below!

Also, if you follow me on Instagram (@julianna_claire) here is the link to my neoprene swimsuit I got for under $30!

Thank you so much for reading!
