 Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day are all holiday\’s to show your red, white and blue spirit. I thought we all could use a little red, white and blue inspiration from some of my current favorite fashionista\’s.

 

Let\’s go Shopping: 1/2/3/4/5/6

 For Memorial Day this year I will be wearing the outfit inspiration featured above. A little white dress paired with nude wedges and nails (OPI Step Right Up to be exact), accessorized with turquoise bracelets, earrings and of course you can\’t forget the statement necklace. While at night I will be wearing a simple white dress from Target with the statement DIY necklace I created earlier this week.

What will you be wearing this Memorial Day?

Make a Statement this Memorial Day

 I am a big fan of statement jewelry, and so is everyone else this season as it is an extremely popular trend. With Memorial Day this weekend I figured it would be the perfect opportunity to create a red, white and blue statement piece. Oh, and by the way it won\’t cost you more than $2.

 What You Need
• one red, one white and one blue beaded necklace 
(my mum bought me these – the three pack is from the dollar spot at Target)
• Ribbon (you\’ll want enough to tie a big bow around your neck)
• scissors 
• white yarn

 Step One: Lay out your necklaces on top of each other.

 Step Two: Tie the necklaces together at one end with your yarn.

 Step Three: Cut the yarn so you can not see it.

 Step Four: Spread out each necklace like you are getting ready to braid them together.

 Step Five: Cross the necklaces over each other like you are braiding them together.

 Step Six: Once you have braided all the way down tie the yarn at the end to secure your braid in place.

 Step Seven: Run your ribbon through one end of the necklace

Step Eight: Run the ribbon through the other side of your necklace. Cut the ribbon to your desired length, put it on and head out to make a statement!
