When it comes dressing for a barbecue or any backyard event for that matter I tend to go with attire that is comfortable yet festive and almost always opt for a flat shoe of some sort. Have you ever tried walking in grass with heels? It’s the worst! One of my favorite holidays to really dress down for is the Fourth of July. There is something that feels so wholesome about this holiday, it’s patriotic yet casual. Since the weather is usually (and I say usually as we are currently only flirting with high 70’s) very hot and humid, opting for cut-off denim and a tank is the route I take when choosing an ensemble for the day’s festivities. I love this outfit here because it is the epitome of chic Americana! With touches of red, white and blue along with some classic aviators, Chuck Taylor’s and a cross-body bag you are ready to hit the fireworks, BBQ, or anything other Fourth of July event you have on your calendar. Happy Birthday ‘Merica!
