I purchased this Aztec/Ethnic Print Dress for 6 bucks last Summer. I have only shown it on the blog twice but I have worn it a couple more times than that. This was the first styling I did of this dress for this Summer. I went a little over-board with the accessories maybe but I loved it. The Dress itself has Navy, Gray, Red, Orange and Burgundy. I mixed in different blues via my Bow Belt, Gorgeous Turquoise Necklace and Aqua Cocktail Ring. I also added similar Bangles: one white and one coral and of course my Blue+Red Ostrich Heart Bag went perfectly with the Outfit. I wore it for the second Outfit too. It is the perfect bag and it maches almost any Patriotic/Americana Looks, in my opinion. What do you think?

Isn't this the Perfect American 4th of July Dress? It is Navy, White and Red. It is Striped. Plus it is is perfectly Nautical and it has pockets. What do you think? As a matter of fact it was the Dress I showed/wore last year for 4th of July with my little sweetheart matching me in her stripes. This time I wore a Clear/Black Ombre Crystal Necklace, two Bangles (in dark red and in white) and of course my awesome blue+red purse and the same maroon/bourdeaux jelly little wedges as the first outfit. I just got these wedges a couple of weeks ago at a street vendor, brand-new for a dollar. I wore them right away that day. I took off my little slide sandals and wore these instead.
