The Fashion Girl's Ultimate Memorial Day Weekend Packing List
And just like that, it's finally summer. I don't know about you, but I've always felt that when Memorial Day weekend hits in late May, it's finally time to get into the summer mood. From picnics in the park to backyard barbecues and spur-of-the-moment road trips, there are so many possibilities for the long weekend ahead. Naturally, it's what we'll wear over the holiday weekend that comes to the top of our minds. No matter if you're traveling or staying local, now's the time to break out all your summery favorites like strappy sandals and straw bags.
In case you are planning a getaway over the weekend, we already have an idea of which pieces you should pack in your bag. Call us biased, but the summer pieces from our Who What Wear collection at Target are pretty perfect for whatever your Memorial Day has in store. Think delicate wrap dresses for brunch outing with friends and breezy swim cover-ups if the beach is on your itinerary. Go on to shop every piece worthy of your weekender bag.
Now you're all set to spend your most stylish Memorial Day weekend yet.
