A Comfortable 4th of July Look

As always, a special thanks for my fabulous photographer, Rachel, for these images!  North Alabama people, use her!

We all know that summer is hot and that the 4th of July is a holiday meant to be spent outside.  If you’re like me, you want the least amount of clothes on so you don’t sweat to death while eating BBQ under a tree. 😂😜 

This chambray shirt dress is thin and loose which is the perfect combination for a party outside.  Before I bought these wedges, I read and reread reviews online to make sure I was getting quality shoes (my main concern is “Can I stand in these all day teaching?”), and these are literally the perfect teacher shoe!  They are like walking on clouds, so don’t be alarmed if you see me wearing them in all of my pictures until I’m forced to wear close-toed shoes ha!

Don’t forget a red lip and/or red nails to add a pop of color to your 4th of July outfit!

What’s your favorite kind of outfit to wear on the 4th?

My Current Wish List

With our anniversary next month and the fact that Dustin realizes I need to be surprised with gifts since I’m always surprising him with things 😜, I’ve compiled a wish list of a few things I’m wanting as of late.  I’m happy to say that with the exception of the Lilly dress, EVERYTHING IS VERY REASONABLY PRICED!

**Not pictured are the gift cards I listed in my email to him (yes, he asks for an email of things I want ha): Sephora, JCrew, Nordstrom, Anthro, Lululemon

White peplum || even though they are such a staple piece, I never seem to have white tees in my closet!  This is a low peplum hem, so I think I can pull it off because peplum never seems to work for me.  Obviously I’m still trying for it to work since this is on my wish list haha!
UPDATE: My sweet friend Victoria texted me to let me know this top runs small and feels cheaply made.  I will be taking this off my list, and I wanted y’all to know in case you were thinking about purchasing!

Lilly dress || I’ve wanted this dress since Easter and it’s been out of stock in my size in the blue until now!

Eye Brightener || I’ve read some great things about this under eye brightener that I want to try it in place of concealer.

Sandals || I already own this style in 2 colors so I want to add more.  These would be cute to spice up a casual outfit!

Jeans || I love a good pair of jeans and the ones I’ve been buying have been really, really expensive.  I thought I’d try out a less expensive pair–it has a lot of great reviews, too!

Island Vibes in the Summertime

 tank / jeans (linking the last pair) / sandals / lip stain / sunglasses

Even though we’re done with our beach trip for the summer, I’m not done with wearing beachy clothes.   I’m always on the lookout for cute, flowy tanks that I can wear during the day or out to dinner at night.  

What I love about this tank (other than its really soft fabric and its really cute print) is the fact that it has an under layer that’s a little fitted.  Have you ever worn a flowy top or dress and all of a sudden a gust of wind blows your shirt or dress?  That always makes me so nervous!  Not so with this top.  Even if the wind catches it a little, I know that under layer will stay put making me feel more secure.

These jeans are also my favorite and I found the last pair on JCrew’s website, so if you’re petite then you’re in luck!  I love a good pair of dark, skinny jeans that have a bit of stretch.

What’s your favorite go to summer outfit?
