July 4th is my favorite holiday of the entire year! I’ve always taken a laid-back approach to getting dressed on the 4th because we usually spend our day running a local 10k, swimming, BBQ-ing, snacking on saltwater taffy and, finally, fireworks!—So basically, casual family stuff. And I love it.
It’s super easy to put together a patriotic outfit using items you already own and feel comfortable in, and that can easily be mixed and matched. Here are a few quick tips I use every year:
- Start with a white top and jeans, then build on it with colorful shoes/bag/lips or festive accessories.
- Remember how versatile stripes are? You can build an outfit around a striped tee or dress just as easily as you can a white top and jeans. Just don’t overdo it with too many patterns.
- Stick with colors/styles that make you feel comfortable and confident. For example, I love red, but I’m very particular about how much red I can wear. Rather than a solid red top or dress, I wear it in small amounts on my shoes, bag or with a red lip.
Which of the four outfits above is your favorite?
These are some really great outfits! ❤️❤️
I love the white sandals you’re wearing in the third outfit, so cute! ✨
