how to wear red, white & blue...

as america gets ready to celebrate 4th of july...i thought i would share a few ways to dress in the red, white & blue...without looking like...well...a flag!  depending on where you live...based on the level of heat in your area...these ideas can be modified...

i saw this look on pinterest...and thought it was a perfect example of how to wear red, white & blue...she looks chic...put together...patriotic...and ready to have some 4th of july fun...now for some of you...who are not into wearing shorts anymore...no problem...this look can look just as great with a pair of pants...or skirt...

the 4th of july is about spending time with family and friends...there will most likely be bbq's, picnics & fun...why not add a cute dress into the mix?  how adorable is this halter dress?  a little bit of blue & white...and if you are keen into adding that last element of red...try some red flats...or a red cardigan for when the evening coolness sets in...

it is all about being cool & comfortable...a simple red pant & white tank top or t-shirt will do the trick...it can be a variation of two of the colors...and you will still stand out as patriotic & chic...
