Bell-Sleeves Striped Top

Memorial Day is here and the official BBQ season is open. I don't know about you, but I like to look good on any occasion, even when going to a park.
The memorial day weekend turned out to be perfect, weather-wise - not too hot but not cold either. Initially, it was supposed to be cloudy and a little bit cool, but, I think the photos are speaking for themselves. ​

You know I love wearing dresses, but let's face it, they're not always practical. Sometimes, jeans/pants (did I tell you I don't usually wear shorts?) are necessary. And for a day at the park, I chose these ones and completed the look with this beautiful bell sleeve striped (are you noticing a trend here?) top with lace inserts.
Unfortunately, the top sold out online (I found it at Burlington Coat Factory), and it's made by Lipslide. and is very comfortable, especially because it's breathable and did I mention beautiful?

And, if you ever wore any bell-sleeved tops, you know what a pain in the you-know-what they can be, especially when trying to eat something messy or, let's be real, the majority of tasks. Well, this one here is no such headache, thanks to its shorter sleeves. ​

I mentioned on my Instagram page why I rarely part with hats these days, so, of course, I had to wear the one that has become a favorite from Forever 21, to complete the look - forget about the messy hair, it's very "in" right now 😄.

And last but not least, for a play-day, I need comfortable shoes. I am not a sneaker/tennis shoe kind of girl, so I need cute shoes in my life. Luckily there are thousands of options out there, but I chose to wear lace flats that complimented my outfit. The exact ones are sold out, but I linked similar options at the end of this post.

Tell me, what is your go-to outfit for BBQ with friends or days spent t the park? I'd love to hear.Let me know in the comments below.

Thanks for reading and I hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day and a great week.
