26 Jun What to Wear for the 4th of July- Pops of Red
Hello Friends!
I hope you had a great weekend! I thought today I would share one outfit that I put together for the 4th of July. I will be sharing several looks on the blog, if you are considering what to wear for the occasion. If you are not one to wear American flag earrings, or just want a more subtle approach to the Holiday, I put together a look with pops of red. I am wearing a blue and white sundress by Loft, ( years ago!) and added pinches of red with my nail polish ( Rock the Runway: Essie Couture) lipstick, and clutch and earrings.
I am ready for summer and think the 4th is the real kickoff to the Season. We usually keep it low key. We might have people over for a cookout, but we do end up at home for the evening, as our girl Truffles is so afraid of fireworks. She doesn’t just shake, she visably vibrates! We keep her company but still enjoy the season with grilling and kicking back with a glass of wine or two. I wanted a casual and fun look for this holiday, as there is no need to get dressed up!
I have had this sundress for years. I loved the blue and white print, the baby blue design framing the top portion. This will probably be one I take to Savannah on vacation next month, as it is cool and easy to wear. I have noticed that now is the time for summer sales, but today, I shopped my closet. ( as tempting as it is!) My shoes are from a favorite company of mine, Jambu. I love that they are stylish and comfortable, so I can walk in them all day.
If you aren’t one to wear a sleeveless dress, you could put a light top under this dress ( a tee) , wear a denim jacket over the dress. ( very Americana!) I’ll be sharing another red white and blue 4th of July look next week on the blog. Stay tuned!…
Do you dress in red, white and blue to celebrate the Holiday?
Outfit details:
Dress: Loft ( old, like this halter dress), Clutch ( JJ winters, poshmark) shoes: Jambu , necklace ( ann taylor), earrings: Charming Charlies.
Have a great day!
HOPE TO SEE YOU TOMORROW FOR MY WEEKLY LINKUP TURNING HEADS TUESDAY AT 1 AM EST.

Posted at 23:40h, 30 JuneThis dress is so pretty. I like the red earrings and clutch with it. Great styling. Very elegant and not kitschy like most of the red-white-and-blue look! Thanks for linking up to Top of the World Style.

Posted at 08:59h, 30 JuneThank you Amy! I am just one that isn’t so much of a fan of blatant patriotic looks but rather some subtle mix of the colors. So glad you like it ! xx

Posted at 18:14h, 29 JuneI’m not one to wear the traditional colors but your outfit looks awesome! I tend to wear what I feel like versus what is expected.

Posted at 09:03h, 30 JuneHi Tracey!
Thank you! I know exactly what you mean! I enjoy a bit of subtlety when it comes to this color combo or might wear all white with pops of red. You have to feel good about what you are wearing, and there are no rules when it comes to fashion! xx

Posted at 08:01h, 29 JuneLove the dress Jess, the mixed prints and light weight are a summer winner! The great red bag gives a pops of color and a 4th of July vibe. Well done, and as you say subtle, which is very nice. My dog is also afraid of fireworks , so it is not a fun holiday for her. :_(
Stay well beautiful friend!

Posted at 11:32h, 29 JuneHi Elle,
Thank you! Yes, I prefer a look that doesn’t look like the Amercian flag but has touches of red white and blue. Aww, give your pup a kiss for me! I know we will be cuddling Truffles! xx

Posted at 09:02h, 27 JuneThank you Jacqui! In regard to the space question from last post, I am running out of space! I keep fall/winter in one closet, spring/summer in another and pack some away. This dress is years old, so I am glad you like it. The shoes are the most comfortable! 🙂 xx

Posted at 15:42h, 26 JuneSimply lovely for a holiday weekend or any time, Jess. The nails and bag really pop. Poor wee Truffles – we have a cat that’s terrified of gireworks, and thunder. xox
