4th of July | Outfit Ideas & Inspiration

20% off clothing, shoes & accessories at TARGET with promo code JULY4. Valid Through 7/1

Happy Wednesday everyone! I wanted to share with you some easy outfit ideas for a 4^th of July celebration! I donâ€™t know about you guys, but red, white and blue just go so well together. (This could be because it was my high school mascot colors when I lived in Iowa, but who knows?!)

All of these items are very affordable and very versatile. I will link everything I can below, and link similar items if I cannot find the exact link or if the item is no longer available!

Side notes: You’re not going to see a lot of my face in these photos since I was still peeling from my chemical peel (if you follow me on Instagram I share a little about that on there, as well as on my Insta stories). Also, I had the wrong camera for these, so I apologize in advance if the quality is not good in some photos.

First up, letâ€™s start with this super simple red tank top from Target. This can be worn several different ways: tucked in, partially tucked in, untucked, knotted, etc. I added this very cute blue beaded necklace with it (I cannot find anything similar online currently), along with these super awesome blue shades that I found at a thrift store in Galena, IL during my Bachelorette party weekend. (Donâ€™t worry- I still have a post coming on that- I just have to get around to editing my video from the weekend before I can post about it) My shoes here are simple gray pointed toe flats that go with everything, especially blue jeans!

Throw on a super comfy jean jacket and trade out the shoes and you have a whole different look here! Jean Jackets are a staple for sure! If you missed my previous post all about jean jackets & ways to style them, see it here.

My next 2 outfits are inspired by my recent purchase from Old Navy. This cute one-shoulder, ruffle top is super lightweight and comfortable. Paired it with one of my favorite red chunky necklaces. This outfit is very casual with the jeans, but then dressed up by one of my favorite pairs of lace-up, peep-toe heels from Charlotte RusseÂ (these are on sale for $15 right now!!). The red clutch with tassel is a recent purchase from LeTote and was super affordable. It comes with a gold chain so you can turn the clutch into a cross body purse.

When you love something so much, buy it in every color, right?! I LOVE this top in black. Thereâ€™s just something about black shirts with jeans. I feel like this is a weekend going out top for sure! I also snuck in this awesome floppy hat that I found last year (on sale right now)! Isn’t it the best?

Next up is this top that I am not entirely in love with because I bought it one size up and it is way too big in the front for me. Â The front buttons up, causing it to push out and make the front look a bit frumpy! I DO, however love the off the shoulder and the tie detail on the sleeves! There are TONS of tops out there like this right now and it’s very on-trend!

Alright, now comes the more festive outfit! This Love American Flag top is so cute! It’s a crop top, but still loose, so I tied it up and paired it with this super adorable pleated red skirt (which was one size too big, but I made it work). Typically I would pair this with some heels, but I also loved it with these gray flats.
