July Fourth Essentials - A Styling Session


The Fourth of July is a super festive holiday complete with trips to the pool, cookouts with family and friends and it usually concludes with massive firework displays! And, who doesn't want to look Patriotic while attending one or all of the events listed above? However, you don't want to look like a costume. I've pulled together a list of July Fourth essentials that will take you from day to night and from pool to sparklers all while still paying homage to the Red, White and Blue!
 
Stars and stripes  are a Fourth protocal and these two tees from Gap are perfect! The blue stripes from Ann Taylor are also a great addition and all three would look awesome paired with the denim shorts from LOFT!
 
 
 

 
Headed to the pool? If so, check out this adorable leopard print suit from Ann Taylor! (It just happens to be in my shopping cart and on major sale!) I love the halter and flattering neckline! This is definitely a timeless one-piece. 

 
And, if you need a cover-up, why not pair it with either these Joie linen pants from Piperlime! I love a great linen pant and these look so comfy! Perfect for throwing on over your suit or paired with one of the darling tees above!
 
 
And you need a great shoe, right? Check out these striped wedges from Ann Taylor! Paired with the linen pants above, or the darling white dress from LOFT below, these are a summer staple!
 
 
Who doesn't need an easy dress in their closet? This darling tank dress from LOFT can be styled so many different ways. Paired with the wedges above, as a cover-up for the leopard print suit or paired with the paisley scarf below, this is a classic cotton dress that will keep you cool and stylish all summer long!
 

 
 
This bandana print scarf from Gap is darling! I love the rich red tone and the paisley print is so cute! It can easily be paired with the dress from LOFT, any of the cute tees or the linen pants. And, it can double as a shawl while watching fireworks in case the evening is cool!
 
 
 
Lastly, I am a huge fan of the romper and this one from Rachel Zoe at Piperlime is perfect! I love the cheery, cherry red and how comfy yet stylish it looks! A great cover-up, or worn as is, this is perfect for a day of festive Fourth celebrations!!

 
What are your plans for the Fourth of July? Have you thought about what you might wear? Get creative and festive and share with me!
