Planning Your 4th of July Outfits…
The fourth of July has always been a special holiday for me. Growing up as an only child, it was an opportunity to spend much needed time with my extended family at my cousins’ lake house and fall into a whirlwind of boating, laughter, hot dogs, candy and parades. Talk about a good time, right? Though the lake house has since been sold and we now visit Richard’s family in Pittsburgh, Independence Day still remains a yearly favorite. However, I’ve found that as I’ve grown up, dressing the patriotic part and finding the perfect 4th of July outfits has become increasingly challenging.
In fact, I’ve found that dressing the part for any holiday can be challenging. No one wants to look like she just walked out of Party City, right? I know I don’t. So here’s my secret: subtlety.
Seriously, it’s like a formula. It works every time. My favorite trick to mastering red, white and blue is throwing in a denim item (like this denim skirt from Topshop) for the blue. It’s understated and chic. Love it. Other small accessories like a red lip and clutch complete the look without reading I’m trying to hard.
We all know how quickly trends can change, but luckily the red, white, and blue theme isn’t going anywhere! Try to think outside of the box, and check out a few of the below roundups for more inspiration you can simply copy to create your own 4th of July outfit, sans the effort 😏
