It can be difficult to pick out an outfit for the 4th, as level of dress is rarely specified for these type of events, and you want to look patriotic, but not tacky.
Here's an outfit that i'm wearing to a family beach party tonight. It gives off that classy, American look, so its perfect to wear to any summer's eve event, anywhere.
White Empire Wait Dress, Target $22
Red Belt from ModCloth, $18
Cropped Pointelle Cardigan, Old Navy $22.50
Dali Bow Heels, Forever 21 $20
Accessories
Favorite Sating Bow Headband, For Love 21, $1.50
Anchors Away Necklace, For Love 21, $6.80
Personally, i'm going to leave out the cardigan tonight because its a million degrees here, but its there for a more appropriate, and warm, outfit.
The best part about this outfit? They're all staple items. A simple white dress can be re-worn every summer, red pumps are just a necessity for any girl, and a navy blue cardigan is great anytime of year.
Enjoy the fireworks!
