by Alison Piepmeyer

What are you wearing for your Labor Day barbecue? I always have trouble blending style with comfort. But I think this outfit does a good job of mixing them together. Now I just need to grow out my hair enough to pull off that braid!

    It will be a little hot in LA for this ensemble, but still very cute! I think I may have to rock a flowy sundress.

    Those red flats are to die for! Red pointy flats are usually a staple in my wardrobe (I’m 5’11 and wear a lot of black/white/grey/red), but right now I am currently without them. Might have to pick a pair up.

    That braided updo is the bomb! Although perhaps a bit much for a bbq? Haha. Sweater dress looks so cozy.

    Ooh the colors on that scarf are divine!! i love me some gems. Maybe the perfect answer to messy bbq hair on labor day, wrap a scarf around it! And then wear it through chilly fall weather…..

    My style always has to have comfort, too. I love the choices here. The sweater dress looks like it will be mine soon. Thanks for the great share!

    Yesss! I’m a red lipstick addict and Heat Wave is one of my all-time favorite colors! Now if only I could do that do.

    My Labor Day plans fell through, but that just means more time to look at blogs and stuff! I can’t do the messy braid look like that, because my hair just looks awful that way (it gets a little TOO messy), but I dig the rest of it, especially the red flats. I’m on the taller side already, so I don’t like to wear heels much. Flats are great for me, and red is one of my favorite colors (after green of course).
