Style Ideas: The Fourth of July

Hey everyone!

I know I always start off my recent blog posts apologizing for not posting enough, and this one is no different!  Last week was super crazy, but I actually have a few days off of work this week so I'm going to try to work on my blog as much as possible!  

Now that my apology is out of the way, I'm so excited about this post because it's all about two of my favorite things--cute clothing and the Fourth of July!  I'm not quite sure yet of my plans for the 4th, but I know I want to be looking cute whatever I do!  The great thing about all of these outfits is that you can wear them on any summer day--not just on the Fourth of July!
Here are some of my favorite outfits for the holiday!

Race Point Red and White Striped Dress

Stripes are always a good choice for the Fourth of July!  They're so easy to pair with a plain top and still look super festive.

Hyannis Skirt

Promenade Blouse

This red blouse would be so cute to pair with either some denim shorts or a cute pair of white shorts and blue flats.

Overboard Shirt Dress

This plaid blue shirt dress is probably my favorite of all of them--it's so cute and flowy yet still looks super comfortable.  The red accessories just add to the festiveness of the outfit, but I would definitely wear this any time--not just the Fourth of July.

Sailor Blouse

This blouse is another one that is super cute any day of the year, not just a holiday.  For the 4th, you could pair it with any red skinny jeans (I got a pair from Target for $15!), or some cute dark denim shorts, with a pop of red in accessories.

Now, of course, I can't forget about one of the best parts of the Fourth of July--cute swim suits!  This time of year, you can find festive suits almost everywhere, but my favorites are from Target and Shabby Apple!  

Reversible Bandeau Top

Reversible Triangle Top

Crab Island Bikini

I hope you all enjoyed this little fashion post!

What's Your Swim Suit Style?

Hey everyone!

As you all know, spring is coming up SO fast!  It's almost time for beach and pool days!  I'm SO excited about it, because summer is my favorite season and it's so close :)  That's why I'm curious to know, what are all of your favorite bathing suit styles?  Personally, I'm a fan of bikinis, but I also work as a lifeguard in the summer so I have to wear a one piece bathing suit when I'm working (bad tan lines but SO comfortable--I wish we could wear one pieces as cute as the ones in this picture!)!  If you want to know more about the swim suits I used in the picture, look here! :)

So, what's your bathing suit style?
