Stars & Stripes: July 4th Outfit Ideas!

July 2, 2014

Hi dolls!

So with July 4th fast approaching, I wanted to do a little post on outfit ideas for Independence Day! When dressing for the 4th, there is one (obvious) thing to remember: anything red, white, and/or blue totally goes! When looking in your closet you may think to yourself..."But Ashley, I just really don't have anything to wear!" Ok so, here's the deal. I like going 1 of 2 ways on the 4th....either a sundress OR shorts and a cute tank/t-shirt/blouse/etc. Another way to throw together a 4th outfit is sticking with one color (i.e. white) and accessorizing with a different color of the trio (i.e. red or blue). For example....white sundress, red necklace & shoes. Another outfit idea that I LOVE for the 4th is jean shorts. I mean HELLO, they're totally blue....and there's something about denim that just screams 'MERICA! :) 

So in my OOTD/OOTN below, I decided to wear my favorite denim shorts from Old Navy with a 4th t-shirt I bought at Target a few years ago (never wore it!), and a new red blazer I bought from F21. This blazer was literally only $11...YES $11! Now, I know you're thinking that MAYBE a blazer may be a little too warm for the 4th. But hello it's RED!! Solution? Show up to your BBQ/party/etc wearing it, then shimmy that baby off as the temps start to rise! Don't forget to throw on your favorite wedges and you've got yourself a patriotic outfit!!!
