fourth of july outfit – The Sol Compass

Muted Red, White, and Blue

Hello everyone, welcome back! Today I’m sharing an alternate way to wear red, white, and blue for the Fourth of July weekend, or really at any point during the summer. I love this combination of burgundy and dusty blue to allude to America’s colors, but it’s less expected than bright red and cobalt may be. It’s a great way to incorporate the festivities into your work attire the week before!

Red Dress

Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you’re all ready for the long weekend. It’s also my sister’s birthday weekend, so we have a full agenda of fun over the next four days! I bought this red dress back when it was still cold outside because I instantly thought it would be perfect for Cinco de Mayo (it was). Little did I know, I would be re-wearing it for this holiday weekend as well. As we know from last year’s day to night dress series, I love being able to wear the same dress all day and just swap out some accessories. This one will be perfect for some festive farmer’s market and errand runs during the day today, before going out with my sister and friends for Friday night.

Thanks so much for reading! Have a great holiday weekend!

White and Blue

Friday night I’m going on a little cruise around the Boston Harbor with some friends to watch the sunset and fireworks to kick off the Fourth weekend and plan on wearing this blue and white ensemble (#spoilers). Harbor cruises are one of my favorite summertime activities in Boston! I love wearing red, white, and blue together; but I wanted to put together something sophisticated that would work for the adults-only boat and also if we went out afterward. I knew I wanted to wear pants and flats so I didn’t have any wardrobe malfunctions thanks to wind or waves, so I chose to go with my white skinnys to make more of a holiday statement than classic blue jeans. I had been eyeing these navy flats from J.Crew factory for a couple months and just finally bought them during a sale, so I’ve been itching to wear them out as much as possible!
