A sea of blue, red and white

I'm very excited for the 4th of July weekend coming up. I just love the collective patriotism and the beautiful fireworks in the night sky - always brings tears to my eyes! It really is touching how we all love our country so deeply! So this year I'm going to tackle the ever-present dilemma on July 4th - how to wear Red, White and Blue - just like everyone else and their mother - and stand out among the crowd. I've got two examples that I created with Polyvore that show a casual and a somewhat dressed up look. I'm thinking both these looks are good for a family picnic and fireworks afterwards.
