Red, White & Blue Fireworks

Independence Day, also known as the 4th of July, is quite the festive holiday for Americans as this is a time to celebrate our country’s freedom. It is a festivity that embraces all things that are summer fun: BBQ, poolside drinks, backyard games, and fellowship. However, the most anticipated part of this celebration are the fireworks. Fireworks arouse ooohs and aaahs from the crowd for its explosive display of colors, sparkle and radiance. It’s exactly the feel I wanted to evoke in two particular 4th of July looks that I hope you enjoy. Whether it’s a backyard barbecue or brunch at the country club, I wanted to create looks that thought outside your standard cut off shorts and tank top tradition.

I adored pairing my white tulle skirt with a red satin jacket for what I refer to as the “Independence Day brunch at the country club” look. Accompanied with my blue, bejeweled satin shoe by Kate Preston, this outfit screams, “pour me a mimosa!” A glittery, American flag clutch was the perfect complement to my glamorous accessories, all from Charmin Charlie, lending the perfect sparkle that every fireworks display need.
I must say that my favorite find this year, was this beautiful maxi dress from Nordstrom Rack that possessed a very unexpected combination in textures, patterns and color. The crochet red, white, and blue top with strappy back definitely adds sexy to any summer look while the skirt adds a floral explosion of colors giving a nod to both femininity and elegance.This dress was the perfect non-traditional ensemble for the poolside backyard bar-b-que.

I hope you loved seeing these looks and more so find inspiration to be the firework finale at your next event.
