Style Scouting: Vol. 293

Thanks for stopping by for this week’s Style Scouting. My Sunday post where I share the random stuff that captured my attention or inspired me that I found online.

I hope you’re doing well over this Memorial Day weekend.

It is not a very cheery one here in SC. The weather forecast described the weekend as “gloomy” and I have to agree with them. Not the kind of weather for outdoor grilling and patriot entertaining to kick off the upcoming summer season. So it is going to be a quiet weekend around my house.

How about you? Do you have any fun weekend plans or any Memorial Day events to attend? Whatever it is you’re up to, I hope it’s wonderful.

Enjoy this week’s links, XO
