4th of July Patriotic Outfits.

I know it was 3 weeks ago already but I am just now posting my 4th of July Outfits. As I always say "better late than never". They aren't anything mind-blowing but they are kind of cute, definitely patriotic and feature a lot of Red, White + Blue, so why not. It is still July - the month of America's Birthday - so I am not too late after all. =) Before I get to the Outfits I want to Thank ALL of you for your lovely comments, E-Mails and compliments about how I looked in my last 2 Outfits (Dress #1 and Dress #2). It seems like you all love seeing me in Pink so I will keep that in mind. I also happen to love Dresses especially Fit+Flare Styles like these two, so thanks a lot, once again.

This first outfit was worn on the 4th of July. It was a great day filled with many activities, including a Birthday Party for a 7-year old girl (our neighbor) that Vivian loves very much. The photos with balloons are taken at her birthday celebration. I wore my light knit Navy Mini Skirt with this White+Red Striped Tank Top, Red Strappy Sandals and Off-White Headband. To match the Gold Studs on the front of the Skirt I wore a Gold Necklace, plus a Gold Bangle and Red Cuff. A very simple Outfit with a little Nautical feel. Vivian matched me with her Navy Denim Skirt and her own Red+White Striped Tank. What do you think?

This second outfit was worn on July 5th, in the late afternoon/evening. We went to the beach the weekend of July 5th-6th so for the most part of those days I was in a swimsuit and my cover-up. I wore my Denim cut-off Shorts with this Peplum White Tank Top with Navy Stars, from Express. I added a little Hat for both comfort and also because of the humidity and my little Red Bow Jelly Sandals and I was done. It was super hot so I went makeup-free and jewelry-free. This Outfit had Red, White + Blue in a more subtle way. F.Y.I. Each of my Outfits was under $75.00 each, because all items were on sale or gifted. What do you think?
