nightchayde: Florals, Pleats and Pinks

I hope you had a fantastic weekend. I am so thankful for those who have sacrificed for our country. We spend our Memorial Day weekend at the Fallen Patriot Ride. If you live and Utah and haven't been you should come next year. You don't have to own a motorcycle to participate. The ride is in memory of fallen, or wounded soldiers and their families. The ride donates proceeds to the Folds of Honor and Warriors for Freedom. There was a guy from the Warriors for Freedom that told us about their foundation, how it saves soldiers who suffer from the after effects of combat. He also went on to tell us 22 Veterans kill themselves everyday. This project is there to support those coming out of the military. It is just a fantastic event. They hold auctions and raffles at the end with some amazing prizes. I go every year and it is just a great way to spend your Memorial Day weekend.

I obviously did not wear this to the event. I wore it the Sunday after. I love jackets and skirts together. Especially when a floral print is involved. The print in this outfit inspired the top and skirt combo. The pink top brings out the pink flowers in the print, the blue is a base color as well as the jacket. This could have been sold as matching separates! I grabbed this adorable flower statement necklace to go along with the floral jacket. This is a perfect early summer outfit. I didn't want to much going on with the outfit so I added a pair of neutral pumps.
