"Memorial Day is a federal holiday observed annually in the United States on the last Monday of May. Formerly known as Decoration Day, it originated after the American Civil War
to commemorate the fallen Union soldiers of the Civil War. (Southern
ladies organizations and southern schoolchildren had decorated
Confederate graves in Richmond and other cities during the Civil War,
but each region had its own date. Most dates were in May.) By the 20th
century Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have
died in all wars. Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women
who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. As a marker it typically marks the start of the summer vacation season." ~wikipedia
Below are Two photos I took on Memorial Day in Washington D.C.
So what should I wear to a Memorial Day Party?
I found one top that I loved and spun it three different ways.
This post started as a search. A Photograph of an elaborate embroidered gown adorned with beautiful crystals. I personally believe the wedding gown has become an iconic image, thanks to Pinterest.
What I didn't expect to find was a treasure. The Veluz Bride creates some of the most unique and breathtaking creations. Below are my Favorite dresses and photos from The Veluz Bride blogspot. Hope you all Enjoy : )
"The Great Gatsby is a novel by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald.
The book was first published in 1925, and it has been republished in
1945 and 1953. There are two settings for the novel. The first setting
is on Long Island's North Shore and the second major setting is in New York City. The book is set within the year 1922 from the spring to the autumn.
The Great Gatsby takes place during a prosperous time in American History. In 1922, America has fully recovered from the First World War, and is enjoying prosperity during the "roaring" 1920s. The economy soared and emotions ran high. Yet, at the same time, Prohibition, the ban on the sale and manufacture of alcohol as mandated by the Eighteenth Amendment, was gaining traction.
The ban on alcohol made millionaires out of bootleggers,
who were smuggling in the illegal substance. That scenario is the
backdrop for the novel, which contributed to its popularity. After the
novel was republished in 1945 and 1953, The Great Gatsby quickly found a wide readership. Today the book is widely regarded as the epitome of the Great American Novel, and a literary classic. The Modern Library named it the second best English-language novel of the 20th Century. " wikipedia
