Honoring the Day with Modesty: Outfit Ideas for a Meaningful Memorial Day

Memorial Day is a time to remember the brave men and women who have fallen while serving our country. It's a day of respect, remembrance, and often, a day spent with loved ones at barbecues, picnics, or attending ceremonies.

If you're looking for a modest outfit that's both respectful and stylish for Memorial Day, here are a few ideas to get you inspired:

Dresses:

• Maxi Dress: A maxi dress is a flattering and versatile option for a summery Memorial Day outfit. Choose a solid color in navy, white, or red, or a subtle floral print. Look for details like flutter sleeves, a cinched waist, or a ruffle hem for added style. The Bluebird's Song dress is a maxi, summer dress dream!

• Midi Dress: A midi dress hits below the knee, offering a touch more coverage than a shorter dress. A midi dress in a patriotic color combination or with a subtle print can be a tasteful way to show your respect. Try the classic Summer in Spain dress for a chic look. 

• Shirt Dress: A shirtdress is a polished option that can be dressed up or down. Choose a knee-length or midi-length dress in a crisp cotton or linen blend. The blue and white stripe on the Writing My Own Story dress is patriotic, classy, and comfortable. 

• Swim Dress: A modest swim dress in a vintage or floral print is the perfect option for a long day spent out of doors. The Simple Serenity dress will keep you cool and comfortable, while also giving a put-together vibe. 

Accessories:

• Scarf: A scarf can be a great way to add a pop of color or pattern to your outfit. A red, white, and blue scarf is a subtle way to show your patriotism.
• Hair Accessories: Keep your accessories simple and elegant to add to a classy outfit. Choose bold colors for headbands or hair clips to pair with simpler outfits. 
• Hat: A hat can help to protect you from the sun and add a stylish touch to your outfit. Choose a straw hat for a classic look or a baseball cap for a more casual vibe.

• Most importantly, take some time to reflect on the true meaning of Memorial Day. Wear your outfit with respect and pride.
