fourth. of. july. weekend.

R, W + B hues.

Hope everyone enjoyed their Fourth of July weekend!  For the most part, I took it easy, which was absolutely fine by me.  I hit the outlet malls with the fam on Friyay (a tradition of ours every July 4th holiday) and stopped by Sonic on Saturday for half-price slushes during Happy Hour.  (I mean, is there anything more all-American than Sonic?  I think not.)  Out of everything, I'd have to say that my favorite thing about July 4th would have to be wearing head-to-toe red, white and blue.  Call me cliché, but when it comes to navy + stripes, I think more is more.  Besides, since when is dressing patriotic not considered the ultimate fashion statement?  In addition to my outfit, I also shamelessly opted for a festive, if not very minimalist, mani.

While July 4th may be over (cue very sad face), I'm not ready to put away my R, W + B hues just yet. Thankfully, I don't have to — and neither do you!  As someone who believes that these three hues can be worn all summer long (Memorial Day, Labor Day, just for fun!), I've rounded up a handful of items to invest in and wear right NOW.  Let the shopping spree begin!  

one. // Hello, perfect striped tee for summer.  The slouchy fit is on-point.

two. // When chambray meets scallops, you get the quintessential pair of shorts.  I want. 

three. // I'm not going to lie, I've been swooning over this dress forever.  If it weren't for the price, trust me, it would already be mine. 

four. // Loeffler Randall can do no wrong as far as sandals are concerned.  These star ankle wrap sandals are e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g.

five. // To be worn w/ jeans, a white eyelet dress — you name it. 

What's your favorite thing about July 4th?  Do you have any festive red, white and blue attire that you know you'll be wearing all summer long?  Tell me in the comments below!
