4th of july: what to wear

one // two // three // four // five // six // seven

here are some fun 4th of july favorites that i have pulled. 

we will most likely be at the lake celebrating my granddad's birthday, so my attire will be a bathing suit all weekend. one night i might wear a blue maxi skirt with a white top. 

maybe ill make a festive necklace like this one.

 if i were going to a fabulous 4th of july party + i had a fat wallet with the budget that allowed shopping for just one party, i would buy the lauren moffatt dress. it is so adorable.

oh well next year, possibly a ridiculous shopping budget. here's to dreaming.
