Pretty and Patriotic

The Fourth of July is just around the corner. Soon, fireworks will be bursting into the sky as people from all over the country gather to barbeque, socialize, and celebrate our country and its freedom. Red, white, and blue are the colors of the day; however, you don’t want to show up to the barbeque with a cliché flag T-shirt to show your patriotism. There are ever so many more ways to look festive yet stylish for this fun summer holiday.

Bold Bikini: If your plans for the holiday include sun and sand, invest in a nautical-inspired bikini to brighten up your day. You can choose one that incorporates all three patriot colors or perhaps strut you stuff  in a bold solid-color suit. Not only will you stay cool in the scorching summer heat of July, but you’ll be sporting a classic American look that is ideal for the occasion.

Sizzling Shoes: If the rest of your outfit is simple and neutral, like a classic white eyelet sundress, then let your feet do all the talking. Opt for a pair of red-hot wedges that will add a bold pop of patriotic color to the rest of your attire. If you’re feeling daring, try the mile-high Chinese Laundry Drastic Wedge sandal from Macy’s. Luckily, Macy’s is offering $10 off orders of $75 or more until June 30 (code: XJW562A992) – so make sure you plan your ensemble ahead of time, and start shopping!
