4th of July Outfit Inspirations: Over 40

4th of July Outfit Inspirations:

4th of July Outfit Inspirations: Over 40

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

Today, I am sharing the 4th of July Outfit Inspirations: Over 40. These outfits range from easy outfits you can create from your closet, using the traditional color theme of red, white, and blue, to a couple of kitschy looks with stars and flags. 

I am sharing easy, peezy outfits that say the 4th of July without having a flag or stars to say the 4th of July. You can grab your Red, white, and blue pieces out of your wardrobe all summer, and pairing them together creates a Holiday look without having a 4th of July star or flag item. Stripes are one of my favorite things, and I love that you can mix a bold stripe and a small stripe to a solid and get a great vibe. Another trick to get a festive look without wearing a big Star or Flag is adding a mini star or flag print as a small detail on a scarf to tie on a bag or a simple accessory like an earring. This little detail adds that 4th of July touch to an outfit without screaming the 4th.

Today is our monthly blog hop, and it is always fun to see what my girlfriends Dawn, Suzanne, and Cindy are sharing on the monthly topic over on their blogs. The 4th of July is a week away, and that seems like an appropriate topic. Their blogs are linked at the end of this post.

Tips on shopping your closet:

To create the looks below from your closet, look for something you have similar, whether it’s the color or the style; something similar will still give out the same feel. 

4th of July Outfit Inspirations: Over 40

I did an Amazon haul at the beginning of Summer with great basics that happened to be in the color theme of the 4th of July. I chose these colors simply because they felt like summer to me, and then I realized I picked the perfect colors for the 4th of July, which is also a great Summer season color palette. 

Shop the look HERE page below:

The Flag sweater is so cute, and I love it printed in this season’s hottest color: Cornflower blue. I’ve been crushing on this color, and when I saw it, I had to have it. The flag sweater reminds me of a preppy Ralph Loren polo and is a classic in my eyes. A flag also has a coastal vibe to it, making it perfect to wear all summer long. Shop the look HERE.

The Red Stripe Amazon maxi dress has been a repeat best-seller for me. Easy to wear all summer long. I paired the dress with a denim shirt around the waist, a caramel tote, and Tory Burch Miller sandals. Shop the look HERE. 

Shop the Spanx denim shorts HERE, the Red and white stripe Spanx top HERE, and the Sandals HERE

I purchased this off-the-shoulder top from the Banana Republic factory (last year), which is linked to a similar Fits TTS; these best-selling wide cuff two button-front jeans are from Amazon for $39. These come in and out of stock. Because they sell so fast, and they fit true to size. Excellent quality for the price✔️Cashmere sweater fits tts. Tory Burch Miller is in red TTS, Lisi Lurch bracelets, and a Laudi Vindi custom bag, which is genuine leather. It is so beautiful, as are Amazon raffia ball earrings. SHOP the look HERE

Old is New Again…. DIY DENIM Crop Top✔️ Ye Old is New Again….

DIY DENIM Crop Top✔️

Yes … you can wear a cropped top over 50✔️

Taking that outdated chambray denim top, and creating a on trend top is really easy.

⚠️You”ll need scissors, a denim top and measuring tape..

#1. Measure how much you want to cut off… (I had a seam to follow) 

#2. Button top up

#3.Make sure it’s completely flat and  laying straight 

#4. Cut both sides of shirts at same time

#5. Use edge of scissors and fray the edge of hem, but roughing up the edge 

#6. You can wash your shirt before styling for a more frayed edge, or wear at once✔️

Enjoy your NEW Shirt!

Life hack… well… tidy home hack… It takes j Life hack… well… tidy home hack…

It takes just as long to put a dish in the sink as it does to but it in the dishwasher!!!

WHY… do they always set it in the sink???

Please tell me it’s not just a #boymom issue😂 or a husband issue😂

All jokes aside… I hate dishes in the sink …. Who’s with me?

Do you go to bed with a clean kitchen? 

With the holidays upon us, if your entertaining and hosting family, sinks full of dishes can be a big issue…

One of my tips is always start the party or Holiday with a clean dishwasher…. And I personally wash all the pots/dishes as I am cooking.. which really helps with keeping up on having a clean sink…  which really does make it easier in the long run.
