Fourth of July Favorites!

With the 4th of July just a week away, I can’t help but to think about all things red, white and blue! Specifically, what the heck am I going to wear?! I thought you might be having the same thought! We are heading to NC for the week to spend time with family and from what they are telling me it’s going to be hot, hot, hot! It won’t be a big surprise to you that I am hoping to snap a few family photos while we are there, nor will it surprise you that I’m thinking about wearing a dress…sometimes I’m predictable!

Up until now I wasn’t sure what look I was going for. It kind of depended on what I was going to be able to find for Kade and Spencer.  So I looked at a variety of options from red, white and blue to stars and stripes.  Below are my top ten dress picks that run the gamut from very patriotic to subtle nods to 4th of July!

Any guesses on which one I picked??

First up is this super cute navy and white stars and stripes dress.  I absolutely love the A-line skirt! This dress would be perfectly festive for a daytime picnic, cookout or even heading to town for a Fourth of July parade!

Amazon Navy Stars and Stripes Dress

Here is another perfect option for daytime activities that could easily transition into the evening by adding a denim jacket or scarf. I love the sexy lower front chest tie detail, and being solid red, this dress can be worn well beyond patriotic holidays!

Amazon Red Chest Tie Dress

How could this dress not be a potential fav?!?!?! I mean pinstripes and pockets… enough said!

Amazon Pin Stripe Dress

A little flirty non-traditional dress that also can be worn through multiple seasons. {Note: price is amazing but final sale}

LuLus Star Struck

Love, Love. Love this dress! The entire silhouette being white with little black stars is super cute and definitely on-trend!

Revolve Lux Off the Shoulder Dress

I’m always down for a good maxi dress! I really love the delicate navy piping throughout the dress and if its going to be hot, the open front wrap would be great for a little extra airflow.

Nordstrom Red Maxi

 

If you are looking for a patriotic dress, this is my #1 pick!  I love this dress… the style, the white piping trim, and the classy look of just navy and white. This style is timeless and would be perfect for patriotic holidays for years to come!

Similar to the one above, this dress is completely on-trend and extremely stylish… oh how I love the one-sleeve design! If you have a posh 4th of July party then this is your dress!  {and its 50% off!}

Self Portrait Star Dress

Hint: I didn’t pick this one but ONLY because I couldn’t find my size. This is a very Shoptini dress! The ruffles, wrap style, big bow tie, maxi dress and thick bold stripes all scream YES, YES, YES! This dress is on sale and almost sold out… but you can find some sizes here, here and here!

Shopbop Alice and Olivia Maxi

And last but not least, a super cute casual dress that can be dressed up or down. Thinking pool side with flops and beach hat, or dolled up a bit with heels and a hair scarf!

Black & White Gingham Trend

* * * * Have you noticed there seems to be a lot of black and white gingham items this season?  Honestly, it was pretty subtle for me… it started with an off-the-shoulder pretty little black and white Misa Los Angeles dress from Sassanova. Shortly after that, I picked up a b&w gingham maxi dress from Old Navy. […]
