Red, White, & Bow

Hello everyone!  Thank you all so so much for your kind words and encouragement last Friday, I spent ten days in Indiana with my family and since coming back, I feel like I’ve been running around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to get caught up and back into the swing of things…Finally unpacking my suitcase, putting away my sewing machine and fabrics….And right now it is currently 1am and I am just now finishing up this post and I have to get up in six hours *bleh*

 While things have been busy and stressful, I have a HUGE answer to prayer that I cannot wait to share with you all, and on top of that, five weeks from TODAY I leave for Germany!!!!!  EEEEEK, I am so excited, it really is a highlight of my summer, getting to spend time with my husband and his family, relaxing, shopping, eating…I cannot believe how blessed I am to get to go every year!

 I can’t believe how quickly it will be here, but one thing that I cannot believe will be here is The 4th of July…in ten more days…Has anyone else besides me not finalized plans, yet??  Every year there is a big band concert in the downtown park, everyone brings their own lawn chairs, and food and drink vendors are scattered about.  It’s pretty neat to gather with people in your town to enjoy patriotic classics; I am always overwhelmed with a huge sense of pride and thankfulness for being in this amazing country!

 SO to celebrate our Nation’s 238th birthday, I’ve put together three very patriotic, and very red, white, and blue outfits for this week’s Three-Way Style Tuesday.  In years past, pretty much every single 4th of July I can remember, it has always been terribly hot and humid, and with outdoor activities being likely, staying cool and comfortable are a must.  Whether you are hosting/attending a cocktail party, barbecue, or just hanging out with a group of friends, check out these styles below to help you put together your festive wear!

And even if you aren’t celebrating the 4th of July, red, white, and blue are always a good idea! 😉


This dress from Target is a must for any summer activity, and with some well-placed pops of red, nautical sailor or Patriotic Princess,  you can’t go wrong with sleeveless and strappy sandals.


Patriotic Stripes
shirt | shorts, similar here & here | shoes | hat | necklace | watch | bangle

Stripes upon stripes upon stripes?  Um, why not!  The key is to mix different colored stripes as well as different sizes to keep it from looking overwhelming.  Try a light baby blue paired with red instead of royal to create your patriotic/preppy look!


Preppy Prints
tank | shorts | hat | shoes | crossbody | necklace

Stars and stripes or dots and stripes, you really can’t go wrong with either and since dots and stripes are best friends, it’s pretty hard to go wrong with this pair of shorts!  If you want to keep the patterns to a minimum, opt for a solid pair of navy chinos or skirt instead.  And to keep the sun off your face, this monogrammed floppy hat is too adorable to not have!
 
Well ladies, I’m going to head to bed and try to get some shut-eye before another day of activities.  For next week’s Three-Way Style Tuesday, what trend would YOU like to see styled three different ways? 
 

 



Stay Classy!
