Memorial Day commemorates the men and women who died while in the military service of their country, particularly those who died in battle or as a result of wounds sustained in battle. In other words, the purpose of Memorial Day is to memorialize the veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. In remembering the fallen, we also honor their loved ones: spouses, fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, sisters, brothers, friends. There really aren’t proper words, but we do live in gratitude each and every day for the precious gift that they have given to us. We should reflect on their service and why we have the luxury and freedom that we enjoy today. We might consider a way we can support and safeguard their grieving families and loved ones who are left behind.
Despite the increasing celebration of the holiday as a summer rite of passage, there are some formal rituals still on the books: The American flag should be hung at half-staff until noon on Memorial Day, then raised to the top of the staff. And since 2000, when the U.S. Congress passed legislation, all Americans are encouraged to pause for a National Moment of Remembrance at 3 p.m. local time.
We are still in a pandemic, but with roughly half of all Washington adults (16 +) fully vaccinated against COVID-19, things are approaching some sense of ordinariness - and that includes a lot of rubber tires on roads and feet standing in TSA security lines this Memorial Weekend.
Whatever your plans this Memorial Weekend, be sure to stop by Meadow Boutique and pick up your clothing essentials. You will find a little red, white or blue pieces around the boutique. We know you will somehow show off your colors with amazing finds from Meadow.
Let’s get down to business. What’s new this week, you ask?
CHRIS & CAROL have some exciting pieces this week. Great colors, light weight cardigans, tops, jeans, a dress, and pant sets. That was my pick this week - the black pant set below. I will be sure to mark it for you! I have so many ideas of how to wear it! The pieces are sold separately so you can grab both pieces or just the one you want.
MONO B is a female-led, Los Angeles based athleisure brand. They design apparel with balance + inclusivity in mind. MONO B balances fashion with function and quality with cost. They believe that moving your body and having a balanced lifestyle is a necessity and not a luxury. So many great pieces this week to wear from sleep to the street and all the activities in-between! You will love all the fashion forward colors in solids and tie-dye.
TEA & ROSE brought in some overalls and jeans this week, so be sure to check those out when you come in. It seems we are always looking for the perfect overalls, so these may be the ones for you.
MICHELLE MCDOWELL DESIGNS From your basic foundation pieces to your bold statement pieces, there’s something for everyone, for every outfit, for every occasion. The Michelle McDowell brand elicits versatility and on-trend designs to keep the modern woman fresh and fabulous! Hurry and grab a pair of these earrings before they disappear. They are quite unique and the price point is oh so alluring!
We hope you have a fabulous weekend with your families and we honor all of your loved ones that have lost their lives for our country. We are forever grateful for their service and the freedoms we have today because of them! Let us all have a moment of silence this weekend to pay our respects. Thank you for your support as always. We couldn’t do it without you, this we know for sure. xoxoxo
