Labor Day is here, and you know what that means – time to let loose and make the most of the long weekend! For me, this year’s celebration kicked off with a fabulous rooftop breakfast party at Elev8. As we bid farewell to summer, it’s the perfect opportunity to gather with friends, soak up some sun, and dance the morning away before fall rolls in.
One of my favorite things about events like this is the chance to put together a fun and stylish outfit, and this time, I’m absolutely in love with my look! I’m rocking a thrifted mini ruffle dress from Park Ave Thrift in Lawrenceville, GA. This dress checks all the boxes: cool, flirty, and, most importantly, age-appropriate for us fabulous over-40 ladies. Who says we can’t mix trendy with classy and still look fantastic?
There’s something so satisfying about finding hidden gems in thrift stores. You never know what you’ll discover, but when you stumble upon that perfect piece, it feels like a mini victory. This ruffle dress is not only lightweight and breezy – ideal for a warm rooftop gathering – but it also makes me feel confident and chic. And isn’t that what fashion is all about?
To complete my look, I paired the dress with some stylish and comfy sneakers from 2nd Street, another thrifted find. Now, I love a good pair of heels as much as the next person, but let’s be real – when you’re planning to dance the morning away, comfort is key. These sneakers are the perfect blend of style and practicality, ensuring my feet are ready for anything the day throws at me. No aching arches here!
As we say goodbye to the summer sun and prepare for cooler days ahead, it’s important to savor moments like this. Labor Day isn’t just about getting a day off work – it’s a celebration of all the hard work we do throughout the year and a reminder to take a breather and have some fun. Whether you’re heading to a barbecue, spending time with family, or, like me, partying on a rooftop, the most important thing is to enjoy the day and make memories.
So here’s to celebrating in style, feeling fabulous in our 40s, and dancing like no one’s watching! How are you spending your Labor Day? Whatever you’re up to, I hope you’re enjoying it to the fullest.
Happy Labor Day! 🎉
