Borrowed & Blue

 

 Today's outfit is brought to you by this lovely Chinese pendant of my grandmothers. It's an antique (I know this because she labeled everything - which I now find awesome) So the pendant is of a bird on flowery branch - gorgeous! My grandmother had great taste! I bet yours did too- I know these things. I hope your weekend is going swimmingly!

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.

The Nauti Look

I apologize for the pun... it's just one of those days. It was too easy. So this outfit is entirely from Elite Repeats - I love it! It's sooo breezy and comfortable without me ending up looking like a slob. Lots of navy and white - even in the scarf which you can't see completely in the picture (b/c of my dumb phone.) My mom would be proud - everything matches. This is definitely gonna be a 90 degree staple - minus the sweater. Linen pants are awesome - the breezes go right through em and I catch myself checking to see if they are still there (being pantless in public would not be wise.)
