4 Outfit Ideas for the 4th of July
The 4th of July seems to come out of left field every year, begging the question, wasn't it just January?!
A sudden scramble ensues in the desperate search through every red, white, and blue article of clothing in the closet...ultimately ending in an outfit that says, "Quirky Tourist."
Years of forcing 4th of July fashion...and failing at it...led me to create this lookbook with simple styles for an All-American outfit. Best part is, you don't have to wear red, white, and blue to look cool!
4 Stress-Free Styles for july 4th:
Outfit #1: BBQ Cute
What's cookin' good lookin'?! It's safe to say hamburgers and hotdogs will be on the agenda at some point during the holiday weekend...so, keep it simple and sexy by pairing a white off-the-shoulder shirt with your favorite blue jeans...add a red & white bandana & denim heels to really spice things up!
SHOP THE STYLE:
Top: Brandy Melville $26.00 Jeans: Topshop $70.00 Shoes: Ivanka Trump $80.00 Bandana: Forever 21 $3.90
Outfit #2: poolside princess
Sparkle as bright as the stars! If heading to a pool party, opt for a glitter bodysuit over jean shorts for a more sexy glam look. The bodysuit also doubles as a one piece bathing suit, so shine on!
SHOP THE STYLE:
Glitter Body Suit: Topshop $34.99 Jean Shorts: Urban Outfitters $54.00 Shoes: Topshop $20.00
Outfit #3: fireworks fashionista
If you're heading out to watch fireworks on the 4th, you'll need to wear something cute and comfortable! For this look, I placed a pair of black lace PJ shorts underneath a black lace-up denim skirt, and matched with an off-the-shoulder cherry top, sneakers, and a red backpack for that cool pop of color! The PJ shorts keep the peep show PG, avoiding flashing any families while sitting down for the lights show!

Outfit #4: red, white, & blue-tiful
Feminine & family friendly! If you're looking to keep things simple, classy, & classic, then this polka-dot dress is perfect for any occasion! The outfit is fine as is with white sneakers...but some red, white, and blue bows score some major points in the All-American department.
