Stripes, Sneakers and Sporty Americana - Part One.

Good Morning you All and Happy Monday! I have been back home from Vacation since Saturday. You should have seen the laundry and folding I had to do over the weekend. Vivian still keeps saying "the beach" and "I love seaside" so I am positive she misses it and had a great time. Those of you who follow me on Instagram or Facebook might have seen the pictures and videos I have posted daily of us at the beach, well Vivi mostly but still. Thank you to all of you who still visited my blog and joined last Thursday's linkup and to Rachel and Nina for Guest Posting (here and here). If you remember, we left off with a White Dress-themed week. Well, I still have three more Dresses to post from June and I will be back on Thursday (not in a dress lol) co-hosting with a lovely Michigan Blogger.

I wore this dress the last day of June to work actually. Lucky me that I get to work in a casual environment because a cotton jersey maxi feels like pajamas. This one has Cobalt, White, Turquoise, White and Black Stripes and since the 4th of July was around the corner I paired it with my American Flag Sneakers. I added some Blue Sunnies which matched the dress perfectly. I also wore my Rose Quartz Dangly Kendra Scott Earrings with my matching Rose Quartz Druzy Necklace. After work that day I did a little shopping for a few things we needed on vacation and groceries and Viv came with me. It looks like the pretty ruffle thing she is wearing is a dress but it is actually a skirt and a top, not part of the same set. All the ruffles are of the same size and the sparkly silver stones on her top went so well with the stars on her skirt (it has stripes too - Americana themed). As usual it was hard shooting pictures with her together but we managed a couple. What do you think of our Patriotic Outfits? Stripes for the win for the forth of July, right?

Since my Maxi Dress today features Bold Bright Blue Stripes and was worn in June, it is themed with my second week of June Dresses which was all about Bright Dresses. As you can see from the collage below there are three colors dominating my Bright Dresses from this June: Blue, Coral and Red. All these are colors I love but I also couldn't help it with the 4th of July coming up. There are 9 Dresses I wore in this category with a few Maxi Dresses in the mix. Which ones are your top 2-3 favorites? As you know I loved the way the Mosaic Dress Bohemian Look (with the hat) came out. But I also like the outfits I created with the Coral Dress with the Denim Vest, the One-Shoulder Dress and the Blue Macrame Maxi Dress.
