Big Bang: What to Wear to a 4th of July Party

If you are anything like me, dressing for parties that might involve heat, grass and ketchup proves a bit of a challenge.  Anyone wondering what would be cute, fun and comfortable to wear to a 4th of July picnic, BBQ or fireworks fest?  Here are some suggestions that don’t involve flags or one of those crazy Uncle Sam hats:Start out with white jeans.  Sounds crazy given the prevalence of stain making condiments, but hey, they’re jeans and will wash and bleach easily.  I love these cropped white jeans from the Gap.

jeans

Gap White Ankle Jeans: $59.50

They are nice and skinny, with just a touch of stretch and the cropped hemline allows you to show off your shoes appropriately.

red top

Brewed Bean Shell: $58

Next, add a floaty top like the one above from Anthropologie.  This appropriately colored red flounced top adds a little party flare while keeping you cool and giving some coverage.  So far we have red and white checked off the list.

Next: accessories.  Luckily, with the gladiator sandals popular for a second summer in a row, maybe you have a little strappy sandal already lurking in your closet.  Now how about a star necklace in honor of the occasion?

This beautiful necklace, found on MadisonLosAngeles.com, incorporates a vintage charm and is on a long chain that will float beautifully against your flounced top.  As an alternative, might you consider some gold or silver chandelier earrings to reflect nicely off the fireworks?

Now you are dressed to stay cool, not dig holes in your neighborÂ’s lawn and look reasonably festive. Party on Wayne.
