The 4th of July is the prime boating day in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, so it's fitting that I'm currently blogging from my boat:
Anyway, this morning I frantically searched for a quality patriotic outfit to match my patriotic spirit (I mean, who actually plans their outfits in advance?) As I perused my navy and white attire, I became worried that without red, the world would mistake me for a traitor to our country. I own approximately 0 items of red clothing, because red hair + red shirts is a little too much spice for my life.
Don't panic, I found a nice array of outfits that are both spirited and adorbs. My hair's red, so I'm automatically covered on that in anything I wear, but even for you unfortunates without rusty locks, these outfits are sure to impress on Independence Day.
First: boating outfit. I went for classic white and paired a blue bikini top underneath. A blue and white polka dotted headband completes the look!
Top: Aerie
Shorts: forever21
It doesn't scream red-white-and blue, but it's only to cover up when we grab (virgin) piña coladas at the walk-up bars, so I'm not that worried.
Next: My mid-afternoon outfit for work. Gotta pull all the stops so the customers know how much I love our country. The bra top really makes it, plus there are red stripes, which is just enough to add color without making me look like a wall of fire.
Shorts: forever21
Bra Top: Aerie
Finally, a late night outfit for watching fireworks on the water. A long sleeve to combat the lake breeze is a must. I stuck with the same shorts all day to make changing easier, because the boat's changing room isn't up for that challenge.
Shorts: forever21
All of these outfits are designed for a day on the boat, so if you're heading somewhere fancier, I'd check out a blog of someone motivated enough to have structured plans. Personally, I think a relaxing day on the water is the perfect way to enjoy my freedom.
It's not quite noon, so if you haven't started your day, make sure you put on your preppiest red/white/blue and make a toast to 'Merica at some point.
Sorry England, but we are the champions of the world.
