Fourth of July is just around the corner. This week, I will be sharing a few outfit ideas inspired by the upcoming holiday. Stars and stripes, red, white, and blue are always a favorite during this holiday. I'm looking to add a bit of each of these elements to the outfits that I'm styling. First up is this striped dress.  

One of my favorite Summer trends is the nautical look. Every Summer I incorporate nautical inspired outfits into my wardrobe. The nautical look is one of those trends that never goes out of style. One of my favorite things about this dress are the metallic details on the back and front of the dress. The back has a long silver zipper, and the front features silver embossed buttons. The combination of the buttons and stripes give this dress a nautical look. I also love that it's loose fitting and very comfortable for the warm weather. I paired this dress with my black and silver strappy sandals and a black and cream quilted handbag. This outfit is perfect to wear to work during the holiday week or even to a barbecue on the fourth of July. Instead of wearing heels, you can make this look a little more casual by wearing it with black or silver flat sandals or pointed toe flats. Top top off this look, I added a pop of color with bright red lips,, which work perfect with the nautical and patriotic look. 

I hope you enjoyed this post. Stay tuned for the next few posts of my Fourth of July series. Thank you for stopping by and I hope to see you again on the next post.
