Hey guys. Guess what? Americaâs birthday is this weekend. If youâre like me, youâve probably been so busy dreaming about how many hot dogs and popsicles youâll be eating that youâve forgotten that youâll need to put on something in the shades of red, white and good olâ blue. No one wants to be the butt of all the sarcastic unpatriotic jokes at the BBQ, so allow me to elaborate on some 4th of July outfit inspiration for you.
I know throwing on a t-shirt with the American flag plastered across the front is not everyoneâs jam, so Iâve come up with three different looks to show your American pride with items you probably already have in your closet. Iâve obviously added in an American flag item into each of these looks, but theyâre perfectly patriotic without that addition, too.
My first look (pictured above) is a little bit on the dressier side, in case any of you are lucky enough to be going to a yacht party for the Fourth. (If you need a plus one, hit a sister up.) This look is textbook colorblocking. I opted to throw up my hair in a high bun for added glamour and top it off with an American flag headband for an extra bit of âMerica. The headband is actually the kimono shown in the third outfit, so if you have a festive scarf, consider wearing it on your head instead of around your neck to mix it up!
