What are your plans for the Fourth of July? More importantly, what will you wear? I'll be in one of my favorite places to relax: Interlochen, Michigan. I look forward to escaping the heat (hopefully!), lounging on the deck, boating on the lake, kayaking, listening to summer concerts and slipping into Traverse City for a little shopping. With the nautical trend being so popular right now, I plan to use Independence Day as an excuse to pull out some sailor stripes, anchors and red, white and blue. I went on a (faux) shopping spree at J.Crew and put together four different fun Fourth of July outfits. What will you wear?
Outfit 1: Backyard Family Get Together
This look is perfect for a slightly cooler location where the get together does not involve water sports.
1. Hobo Bag 2. Stripe Tank 3. Ram Bangle 4. Stripe Cardigan 5. Ballet Flats 6. Toothpick Jeans
Outfit 2: Unconventional Color Palette for Beach Party
Going to the beach but don't feel like taking the patriotic thing too literally? Go for purples and pinks instead of blues and reds and add a pop or orange for contrast.
1. Tote Bag 2. Flower Necklace 3. Bandeau Swimsuit 4. Patent Sandals 5. Maxi Skirt 6. Bracelet
Outfit 3: Lake Party
This is the perfect outfit for a casual lake party. Throw the comfy lounge clothes over your swimsuit for fireworks after the sun goes down.
1. Starfish Ring 2. Linen Pant 3. Hoodie 4. Stripe Swimsuit 5. Espadrilles
Outfit 4: Catching the Fireworks with Friends
The perfect look for strolling down to the mall to catch the best fireworks show in the country.
