Red, White & Blue Summer Style Inspiration

I don’t know about you, but I’m getting exciting about celebrating the 250th birthday of the United States of America. I’ve been out of the country all week (if things have gone as planned), but I put together a little style inspiration and gathered some great red, white and blue styles for us to consider as we approach our nation’s big birthday in July.

I remember when we celebrated the Bi-Centennial in 1976. I actually went to Washington D.C. twice that year! I saw the historical monuments and places first with my friend Michelle on a 6th grade bus trip. Later that summer, my family drove to Washington, as well as Williamsburg and Philadelphia. Talk about celebrating the Bi-Centennial in a big way!

Do you remember what you did to celebrate in 1976? I’m sure many of my readers, like me, were either children or teens or young adults. Share with me in the comments if you remember doing anything special that memorable year.

I think it would be fun to pull out all the stops this year. I plan to decorate my home with a patriotic theme as soon as I return from England. And I’ll leave those red, white and blue decorations in place through the summer.

But I’ve also been scouting out red, white and blue styles for summer outfits. I think the key is to pair the more patriotic pieces, such as this fun sweater or this sweet tee with something more subdued, like denim shorts or a simple white skirt. But then again, it’s a celebration! So I’m sure I’ll also load on the color at times.

Here are just a few red, white and blue style boards to get your creative juices flowing. And then I have a shopping boutique filled with possibilities.

This simple skirt would pair with so many things in your closet for a feminine, patriotic outfit. And that bag could be such a fun one to carry all summer.

Even on the most casual summer days you can show a little patriotism with these easy pairings.

Matched sets are so on trend, and this one looks fresh, feminine, but also perfectly appropriate for women over 50.

Honestly, you’re going to be able to create so many festive red, white and blue outfits with just a few of the pieces from the boutique below paired with items in your current closet. Which are your favorites? Be sure to scroll down in the boutique. This is a big one!

Thanks for stopping in for a little style inspiration. I’m sure I’ll share a few “live” photos soon with some additional ideas for wearing red, white and blue this summer. Have a great weekend.
