4th of July #OOTD Ideas

2. 4th of July  (Mix & Match) by stephc featuring platform shoes

3. 4th of July Summer BBQ by stephc featuring a navy bedding

4. 4th of July Poolside by stephc featuring a navy beach towel

5. 4th of July Fun by stephc featuring succulent pots



4th of July is coming up and I couldn't be more excited!
I created a couple looks for this day, whether you end up going to the beach, a pool party, or BBQ you're still bound to look super cute and stylish!
As you guys know I'm all about linens and breathable fabrics for summer so you just can't go wrong with linen and cotton for this day, it's most likely going to be hot, so wearing these fabrics will no doubt keep you cool and fresh! I can't wait to BBQ  with family and friends.....and of course we can't forget about the fireworks!
I will most likely go for a similar look as the 1st one or one of the looks from the 2nd set depending on my mood that day haha :)
Which one is your fave look? Do you guys have any fun 4th of July plans?

Hope you guys have fun!

Living in Linen

Fresh Muted Tones by stephc featuring wooden home decor

Weekend Plans by stephc featuring Illesteva

Boat Trip by stephc featuring green placemats

Ice Cream Days by stephc featuring tote purses

Stripes on Stripes on Stripes by stephc featuring a white sleeveless top

Love + Salt by stephc featuring rounded sunglasses

Summer Whites by stephc featuring 80s glasses

Cruise Ship Ready by stephc featuring straw handbags

If I could choose to wear any fabric all summer long it would definitely be linen or organic cotton, But lately I've been leaning more towards linen, it's just so fresh and breathable for those perfect warm summer days! I always love a good linen dress, shirt, or shorts! I'm constantly inspired by summer wear and natural fresh fabrics, so I put together a few summer outfits on my Polyvore with linen/cotton blend fabrics. It's so hard to choose one favorite outfit... but I would most definitely wear them all :) What do you guys think of the looks, any favorites?

Happy Weekend!

Hey Guys!
4th of July is just around the corner and I created a few outfits inspired by independence day! I love this holiday, it's a time to get together with friends and family, have a BBQ,  and just have a good time while enjoying the fireworks. I created three ideal looks that can actually be worn anywhere for this day. They're basic chic outfits with pops of blue and red, I kept the red minimal since I'm not a huge fan of red too much haha, pops of red are okay though! For 4th of July, I usually try to stick to casual looks and usually finish them off with patriotic colors, stripes, and accessories. This year I think I'm going with an outfit similar to #3. I'm planning to stay by the beach and have a BBQ with friends/ family, can't wait! Which is your favorite look?

Hope you guys enjoy your 4th of July!
