I’m still coming off of the most fun and jam packed 4th of July weekend. It was non-stop from Friday afternoon until after the fireworks Sunday night. I posted some of the highlights on my instagram/instagram stories but had a lot of questions about outfit links. I figured it would be easiest to put them all into a post together. I love a good Americana look all summer long!
Happy 4th of July! I wanted to throw it back with photos from the last two years. Crosby was so tiny! Can’t wait for this year’s family shot. I’m also rounding up some of my favorite sales that are all underway.
How is it already July?! The year is half over and the summer is kind of half over too… although here it feels like summer is just starting! I can’t believe the 4th of July is just two days away. It’s always been my favorite holiday, no surprise since I’m such a big summer lover. I’m looking forward to doing some festive things in the sun on Thursday. I wanted to share some outfit inspiration ahead of the day in case you’re stuck with what to wear. Each of these outfits can easily be worn all summer long.
I’m planning on wearing this body suit and these shorts in the morning and then changing into a cute red one piece swimsuit, coverup and this hat for the afternoon. I think we’ll head home before the fireworks and just watch them from the front yard after the kids are asleep. But this set would be so cute to wear if you’re looking for something cozy.
Now that we’re in July it really feels like summer is in full swing around here. I recently got a bunch of new swimsuits and am so excited to live in them all season long. This turquoise cover up is so cute over it’s matching turquoise bikini. I felt slightly 60’s fab in this sheer lace tunic which was perfect for our location.
We just got back from a long weekend in Palm Springs with friends and Crosby. Palm Springs is one of my favorite places, it’s a short two hour drive from us but you always feel like you’re much further away. Or maybe in a completely different time period all together. Everything is bright and white and colorful, so naturally makes the best backdrops for photos. Let me apologize in advance for the Palm Springs content I’ll be sharing over the next few weeks. It was just too perfect!
In other news, I can’t believe the 4th of July is tomorrow. And on a Wednesday! It really makes the week seem chopped up and weird. Is that good or bad? I wish these holidays were always a long weekend since not everyone gets those days off… Jeff included. So we’re probably going to stay local and do something low key this year.
A t-shirt and cutoffs, such an original outfit right? But this is another 4th of July outfit idea and something I would totally wear for the holiday. I’m all about comfort for summer and seriously have been living in these cutoffs (you’re probably so over them at this point). I found this tee last time I was at the mall and knew it would be great for the 4th and just summer in general.
I know it’s just Thursday but I’m already on weekend mode. #checkedout We are heading out to Palm Springs with friends for the weekend tomorrow and I’m looking forward to floating in the pool in the desert heat. It’s also Crosby’s first time in Palm Springs in the summer… so that will be fun.
I bought her a couple pairs of these flip flops and she’s still a little unsure of them. It’s so cute watching her try to walk in flip flops. I think she’ll like playing in the pool and napping in the AC as much as possible. Crossing my fingers that she sleeps well, so far she’s been great on trips but you really never know. We’re also holding on to two naps still. I would like to keep that up as long as possible!
I blinked and it’s the end of June. Fourth of July is only one week from today. Wasn’t it just February like a minute ago?! In the sprit of the season I wanted to share some 4th of July outfit inspiration… with a few looks for the littles too! 4th of July has always been my favorite holiday, probably because it’s close to my Birthday and it’s in summer, my favorite season!
Typically my plans for the day require a few outfits: something for a colder morning (this sweaterwould be perfect), a swimsuit for the afternoon when the gloom burns off and then I need something different for the night, obviously.
Last year we were out of town and they didn’t even have fireworks where we were staying. Naturally we decided it’s a requirement to see them each year moving forward. This year I think we’re going to stay local and do something with friends either poolside or at the beach. I’m eying this swimsuitfor the day and this maxi dress for when the sun goes down.
I realize not everyone lives in the same climate or has the same plans, so I wanted to give a variety of looks here while still remaining true to the summer season.
I shared a similar post last year which I’ll link here in case you want to look back on it. Can we just take a minute for itty bitty Crosby! She looks like a giant now in comparison. Ahh #theygrowsofast
Do you have any fun plans for the day? Hopefully they involve relaxing in the sunshine with friends and family!
