National Lemonade Day
I saw this gorgeous MilanBlocks Women's Woven Patten Lemons Straw Cross Body Beach Handbag
and was thinking how cute. You all know I have a real love for novelty purses. So this little cutie made my heart skip a beat. I was online looking for a lemonade recipe for National Lemonade Day but after seeing the purse I found myself on Polyvore making a set. I have also posted this to my fashion board on Pinterest. I purchased a new computer so I'll be doing more fashion boards so be sure to follow me on both.
Must of the time when I'm putting a look today I start with the accessories. Being a plus size girl my whole life often time that only things that would fit were accessories. The star of my outfits for a long time have been my purses. This post was no different. To play off the yellow I went with a solid green dress. This Asos Curves Maxi Dress with Tie Front paired great with this fun summer bag. I want the purse to be the focal point so I stayed with that same color with the shoes as well. The Ted Baker Suede Strappy Sandals were a prefect color match for the dress. I would keep the jewelry to a minimum so again let the purse great all the attention.
So we now have a great look for June 20th aka National Lemonade Day. But what's National Lemonade Day without a great lemonade recipe? Nothing right! I've include below a great low calorie lemonade recipe perfect for a hot summer day like today. A refreshing drink that is high on flavor, but low in sugar thanks to Equal® sweetener. Yes, you'll get all the flavor of fruit without the calories from sugar.
Ingredients
7 cups of Water
1 cup of lemon juice
1 cup Equal sweetener
ice cubes
fresh mint, optional
Preparation
Combine all ingredients except mint. Stir until Equal® is dissolved.
Serve over ice, garnishing each glass with fresh mint, if desired and enjoy!
