Memorial weekend is long gone and a
whole new weekend is fast approaching. But before we get there, let’s rewind
back to this past weekend real quick. This was a very busy and exciting
memorial weekend packed with so many activities. I spent a lot of my time with
my family. Between all the shopping, going to the park, cleaning and
organizing, and preparing for our annual family barbecue I was ready to take a
moment to relax, and that’s exactly what I did on Memorial Day…just relax.
Every year on the Sunday of Memorial weekend we celebrate our
annual family BBQ/Dominican Mother’s Day, hosted by my dear cousin Eliana. This
year she asked me to come up with a dress code for the event. Since I have been
currently obsessing over all things denim, I decided to incorporate denim into
the look. I wanted this look to be very
easy to put together so I chose to pair up the denim with white. I love the white and denim combination because
it’s nice and simple, and very versatile. The possibilities are endless when it comes to
choosing white or denim pieces. You can dress it up or dress it down. It’s
great for the plain Jane or the fearless fashionista. I wanted all of us to
match, but still wanted everyone to be able to express their personal style.
For my white and denim look I chose to wear something
ladylike, dressy, with a bohemian flair. I paired a lovely white blouse with a
denim A-line skirt that I recently purchased from Forever 21. I love the
peasant or bohemian style of the top. The minimal crochet details and the
flutter sleeves add a delicate touch to this blouse. The skirt also has a
vintage vibe, which I absolutely love and always appreciate. I thought the two
looked great together. I added these camel colored mule sandals (very on trend
for this Spring and Summer), and a matching flap crossbody bag. I wanted the
jewelry to be very minimal and subtle so I wore navy blue studded earrings, a
thin gold feather necklace and a chunky turquoise stone ring for a tiny pop of
color. A bold red lip, red nails, and a sleek, curly pony tail complete this bohemian
chic look.

I hope you all enjoyed your holiday weekend. The next time
you decide to wear white and denim, I challenge you to take these very simple
pieces to new heights and think about how you can create a look that represents
your own personal style. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. I’ll see you
on the next style post!
In light of Dominican Mother’s Day, here are a few photos I
took with my son Arthur wearing our white and denim outfits. Enjoy…
