Red, White and Blue Outfit Ideas - 4th of July Style Guide
Get your sparklers out, ladies! It's the 4th of July and our favorite time to chill with family and friends. Whether you are grilling on your back patio or catching the rays on the lake, we have some favorite red, white and blue styles for you!
Our first outfit features our favorite new Stars & Stripes tee with arm stripes! This loose fitting, casual tee looks perfect with boyfriend denim and sandals. It just might end up being the most comfortable tee you've ever worn!
What's more American than drinking a can of Coca Cola? Well....YOU drinking a can of cold Coca Cola! Throw in a patriotic stars straw and be selfie ready in our blue jersey knit tie top! Wear some cut offs and cute wedges! And definitely add a white Kendra Scott necklace.
Get patriotic in our red baseball tee and boyfriend denim. This is the cutest top for anyone wanting a subtle patriotic style. Paint your nails a pretty blue and wave the American flag high and proud!
We hope you enjoy your holiday weekend celebrating our freedoms!
Role Model: Mandy Rose with House of Rose | Eccentrics Boutique
We are so excited to feature Mandy Rose, author of House of Rose, on our blog today! If you are following her blog, you know that she is full of excitement and joy. If you haven't been following her blog...well...you need to start! It's easy to feel like she's your best friend before you even know her. Well, we just had to spend a day with Mandy and capture some pretty pictures of her wearing our hottest looks this season.
Tell us a little about yourself:
I'm Mandy, author of House of Rose, Dollars & Roses and Co-Founder of Happy Mommy Box. I'm a boy mom, fountain coke lover and diy wanna-be. I believe in celebrating motherhood & creating a fun place for women to BE INSPIRED, SHARE JOY & love one another.
As a mother of three boys, how important is it to dress up and feel feminine?
From two square in my living room to baseball in the hallway to dirt digging in the front yard, I am constantly surrounded by all things BOY. One of the things I love most about being a boy mom is being able to dress up all girly and pretty and having my boys say to me "You look beautiful mommy!" There's nothing like a compliment like that from your sweet little boys.
Mandy grew up in Carterville, Illinois. She is now raising her family in her beloved small Southern Illinois town. Since we are also located in this friendly community, we knew this was the perfect location for a style inspiration shoot with this successful blogger. So we grabbed a camera, lipstick, and a couple cute outfits.
What’s something you do every day that you love?
Drink fountain coke. #oops
No really, every day I get up and put on makeup. Not a ton of makeup, but powder, blush, mascara and lip gloss can make you feel 100 times more put together and it only takes 5 minutes!
What do you love most about living in Carterville?
For those of you who don't know this about me, I was born and raised in Carterville and I never left. You may think that sounds boring, but I happened to love it! Small town life is just my thang'! This town is my home. The comfort and joy I get from knowing almost every person I see at the grocery store or gas station is something you can't replace.
We had such a wonderful afternoon full of laughter with Mandy! Which of her outfits is your favorite? Stay tuned for more collaborations with House of Rose!
Stay stylish!
