What To Wear: Fourth of July

My favorite holiday is close upon us! I'm in love with the Fourth of July because it combines my favorite things: summer, parties, and patriotism. It's the time to celebrate all that is great about America. I'm always sporting something festive with red, white, and blue. Of course, I already have my outfits picked, but if you're still looking for inspiration, search no further.

OOTD: Mint Jeans

Last week was way, way, way busy!! I kept writing in my planner to put up some posts, but unfortunately I never really got around to it. This week looks a little less hectic, so I'll be posting more definitely. Get ready for some fun holiday-themed posts!!

Sweater | Jeans | Loafers | Blazer | Tote | Watch

"Blazers are classy sweatshirts" has become my mantra lately. If an outfit seems like it's missing something, I literally just throw on a blazer and I'm good to go. I really feel like the blazer polished up this look and pulled it together nicely for school. Not to mention I was super comfy, because I was really just wearing a sweater and jeans!

The Tippi Sweater from J.Crew is a magical item: a clean, classic silhouette that's super soft and perfect for layering! It's pretty thin, so there's no added bulk under a jacket, and the three-quarter sleeves solve my usual problem of my sleeves bunching when I put on jackets and coats. My favorite is the ivory, but this is definitely worth having in a few colors.

4th of July Outfits

My second favorite holiday (right after Christmas. But, like, it's Christmas...) is right around the corner! That's right, I'm totally obsessed with the 4th of July. I'm still not sure if it's because it's so close to my birthday and the fireworks sometimes start a couple days early–on my actual birthday–or if it's just that I have an irrational love of the red, white, and blue. I'm thinking both. But then again, I do have an entire board on Pinterest dedicated to 'Merica and an American Flag bikini, so you never know...

If you're still looking for an outfit for the 4th, here are some super cute and preppy suggestions.

Shirt | Shorts | Bandeau | Headband | Bracelet | Sandals

This outfit is so versatile! It's perfect for virtually any activity on the 4th, from a backyard barbecue to playing Baggo to going to the parade and watching fireworks! I'd roll up the sleeves of the button-up and tie it at the hem. And I'm obsessed with the bow headband and Jacks!

Shirt | Skirt | Sandals | Cardigan | Sunglasses

This is a little dressier, and perfect for a day to night celebration at your country club or really anywhere else you may be where you need to be a little more polished and put together. I love the anchors on the skirt. They bring a playful feel to the whole outfit!

Bikini | Dress | Flip Flops | Tote | Sunglasses | Croakies

I'm obsessed with this whole outfit. The American Flag bikini, the lobster tote, the adorable white dress that serves as a perfect cover up. I'd say you could wear this from the beach straight to a barbecue or clam bake, no problem. It's just too cute!
