A RED WHITE AND BLUE FOURTH

Oznell — Mon, 02 Jul 2018 12:24:12 GMT

I used to have a heavy, enameled, beautifully detailed rippling flag pin that I could wear, so got out of the idea of thinking up an outfit.

Denim on the bottom automatically gives you your blue. If it gets cool enough after dark, near fireworks time, I could wear my fitted white shirt with deep rose colored jean jacket..

Another possibility, white, almost sheer, gauzey linen blend jacket over red, pin striped shirt.... Wish I had red shoes...

But maybe it'll be too hot to sport anything other than a thin scarf representing the third color?

Are you showing your colors on Independence Day?

I’m going to be at a birthday party part of the day on the Fourth. It’s casual, so I’ll probably wear jeans and a red or white top. To that I’ll add a patriotic enameled pin that I got from QVC years ago. It was made by Lunch at the Ritz To-Go. The base is a map of the USA. Hanging from it are a baseball, a hot dog, a slice of apple pie, a star, etc. I pull it out for National holidays, but especially for the Fourth of July. Happy Fourth!

Unless you are at someone’s house or a special event, I don’t think it will matter much what you are wearing after dark. Think more about daytime when it will probably be hot and you will be mingling and visiting with people I assume. A scarf sounds hot.

I will wear navy blue pants, a white T-shirt and a Fourth of July novelty necklace I picked up inexpensively. I saw a couple cute 4th themed tee shirts on coldwater creek but too late now, and I don’t like to invest much for items to be worn rarely. Have a fun day.

I have several patriotic jewelry pieces and my pin I bought after 9/11. I have several pieces of clothing in red, white, and blue so I will put something together.

Oznell,

Because it promises to be blisteringly hot and steamily humid on the Fourth of July in my neck of the woods, I plan to wear a red Linea faux-wrap skirt and a "July 4" top that I have for such oppressive weather. Actually, I bought two of these extremely lightweight tops that have the outline of stars all over them.

This year, I will wear the one with a white background and blue stars splashed all over.

As I wrote on Flag Day, I always wear the American flag pin that my father gave me over 50 years ago on the day that honors our country's flag, but I choose not to wear it on the Fourth. Why? It is too precious to lose in all the hub-bub.

Have a safe and joyful Fourth of July, all!

What a beautiful jewelry collection, @OKPrincess! Lots to choose from...

It's fun hearing everyone's clothing choices. A Linnea red faux wrap skirt, @golding76? That sounds like just the ticket-- cool and stylish!

@Oznell To my Mom’s casual buffet, white jeans, red tee w/ red sandals. If a/c too cool, my “QVC required uniform” denim jean jacket.

I will wear my new tsv Martha jeans and big white shirt both of which arrived today and are great plus red tank - done.

We are off to town coaster races, then parade, then bbq with friends in their home. May not make the fireworks but all in all a fun day with friends. Hope you all have fun day too.

Enjoying the fun, celebratory ideas...

She might mention some brands, so I won't provide a link, but there's a young blogger had such a cute outfit planned.

If you google this-- a chic way to wear red, white and blue on July 4th Rhyme & Reason-- her post on this will pop up. (Rhyme & Reason is the name of her site).

She wanted to go low-key-- so her midi sun dress has tiny pinstripes, and she's sporting a tiny blue scarf twisted and tied on her bare neck. Her accessories are neutral, including a crunchily textured straw bag.

It's fresh, and youthful.

To me, it's esp. fun when young fashionistas want to honor their country this way!

No. Hibernating inside and definitely no denim.
