Sew Cute

The Fourth of July is right around the corner! The month of June literally flew by. But now it is time to figure out what you are gonna wear for the big festivities. Determining your red, white, and blue ensemble kind of depends on what you will be doing on the fourth. Will you be at a classy affair, sitting on the grass watching fireworks, or in and out of the pool all day? 

Well, I created three looks that are perfect for any activities you could be doing on the Fourth of July! There is a dressy, casual, and super casual look you can be inspired by. 

Dressy: Lets say you are going to a more fancy place for the fourth. Maybe you are going to a nice restaurant, out on a nice boat, I can't think of anything else but maybe you just want to dress up! Well, here is the outfit for you! (I am actually kind of obsessed with this outfit.) I paired a fun pair of navy pom pom shorts with a simple white scallop tank. To add a pop of red to the look I added a bold Baublebar necklace. I love the layered look that this necklace gives. For accessories I chose a bright red leather bag with a neutral espadrille. Altogether it creates a very chic, preppy, and girly Fourth of July look.

Semi-Casual: I know for my Fourth of July I will probably be wondering around my friends town, watching fireworks, and other things of that nature. So, I want something comfy but also super cute. This would be my ideal look for the Fourth of July. I paired a fun pair of scalloped shorts with a simple white tee. Incorporating white into your outfit, I think, is super important! Mainly because you will be out in the hot sun and a white shirt will keep you cooler then a blue or red shirt. For shoes I paired them with these super fun Jack Rogers because they are my obsession. Then lastly I added a KJP red, white, and blue bracelet for an extra patriotic touch. Plus I am also obsessed with KJP.

Casual: There are a lot of people who are probably going to be on the beach, at the pool, or on a lake for the Fourth of July. So, this outfit is perfect to just throw on over a bathing suit! I am loving these super cute American flag running shorts! These are a huge trend it feels like and I love them. I paired the shorts with just a plain white tank (you could do red or blue too!) then a pair of white Keds and then a simple blue hair bow. If you are going for a preppy casual look this is your ideal 4th of July outfit.

Seeing Neon

As you may tell I have been wearing a lot of neon lately! I don't know if its the summer heat or it's bold look but neon is for sure a summer must have for me. This look includes a bright white and neon tribal print scarf. I got this scarf for only $7 at American Eagle when it was on sale. Hey if you can get 60% off sale items you have to get it! I paired it with a simple black skirt and tank so the scarf could be the main center piece of the look. For accessories I wore some bright jewels including bold statement earrings and a stack of neon bangles.

All tied up!

For this look I decided to layer my denim short sleeve shirt over this white lace dress. The dress kind of acts as a skirt in a way. To achieve this look I simply just tied the bottom of my shirt into a knot and placed it a little above my hips. I love the look it creates! I paired my layered pieces with simple gold accessories including gold bow earrings, a pearl bracelet, and a few Alex and Ani bangles of course. For shoes I wore a neutral pair of Sperry Top-Siders that have gold detailing. It was super hot this day so I decided to go straight to a high sleek pony tail. I love styling my hair like this when it is super hot. It keeps down the frizz!
