Pretty Patriotism

The Forth of July is right around the corner!
How to look pretty and patriotic without looking like you belong on a float in the parade...

 I will be seeing a lot of family from out of town that I don't often get to visit with this weekend.

I like to look nice and dressed up for the occasion so they remember me in a positive light, lol!
I decided to wear jeans with a light sweater as I find it transitions well from an afternoon BBQ through late night firework displays.

 I found the perfect balance between being playfully festive and stylish.

What I have noticed is that when I try to incorporate all three colors: red, white & blue to my outfit it looks a bit hokey... and you never want to look like you're trying too hard.

This year I decided to stick with two of the colors and pair them with a pleasant neutral.

(I have red hair... so maybe I did end up incorporating all 3 colors anyway)!

I hope this has helped to inspire your Fourth of July outfit. 

I hope you have a great holiday weekend!

What are your plans for the holiday? Do you go out and watch a fireworks display or do you put on your own? I'd love to hear from you. Leave a comment below!
