In case you actually needed an excuse to wear more tassels and a bright colorful outfit, Cinco de Mayo is the perfect one. There is something exciting about a holiday and culture that celebrates bold color, beautiful embroidery and all the tassel trims you can stand – not to mention all the Mexican food you can handle. Lucky for us, Cinco de Mayo falls on a Saturday this year so you can be as dressed up or as casual as your plans allow. No matter how you choose to celebrate, whether it be a dual celebration of cinco de derby or you’re hosting your own shindig for your pals, our Charlotte stores have you covered. Embroidery, crochet, tassel earrings and dramatic ruffles are fully stocked. Check out all the great finds in stores right now and get ready to fiesta til you siesta.
