Red, white, and blue at their finest

Outfit details--- Sunnies: TOMS | Hat: Forever 21 (option) | Bag: Charming Charlie | Top: Charming Charlie | Shorts: Banana Republic | Wedges: Kate Spade (budget option) ---


It's that time of the year again where red, white, and blue outfits are at the top of mind. Sometimes it's nice to be obnoxiously patriotic and other times it's nice to be festive but subtle. I'll call this outfit the latter. Navy and white are a natural combo, but you know I can't resist a pop of color. Charming Charlie previously sent me this bag in yellow (seen here), and I loved it so much, I ended up ordering it in red because it will be perfect for Cardinals games! I posted a flat lay of this outfit on Instagram and said it was red, white, and blue at their finest. It really is though.

Do you guys have plans for July 4th yet? We ended up with two parties to go to. TWO! We're so famous! Ha, not really. A couple from the car club is hosting a BBQ at their house Sunday afternoon and then one of our co-workers is having a 2nd annual 4th of July party at their house Sunday evening. We went last year and it was the best fireworks spread I have ever seen in my life! Their house is on a huge hill so you have visibility to all the neighborhoods in the valley down below and it's a non-stop barrage of fireworks. Breathtaking! There is something about fireworks that just makes me happy and calm. Follow along on Snapchat if you want to see for yourself! (carylee07)

Yes, I'm most looking forward to having a short work week next week! We have two days of all-day department meetings this week which means early mornings and late nights. They're always fun but super exhausting. So, it will be nice to have a long weekend to look forward to at least! Hope you all had a great weekend! Thanks for stopping by!

  10. I tend to go with the more subtle outfits too (or at least I think they're subtle)----sometimes I worry about being too costumy! But it's all about the fun, right?
    Love the shoes especially and have a great time!

  13. Love this! That top is adorable. I like to be more subtle on the 4th of July. I was commenting on gina's post that I love our flag, but I end up feeling like I'm wearing a costume if I over do it! I like this because it's something you can wear all summer long!
