Tried and True: Red, White, and Blue #fashionfriday

Independence Day is a week away. Before you start thinking that your only fashion option is a patriotic t-shirt from Old Navy, take a look at a few ways you can stylishly show your American pride.

I'll be wearing this outfit to a friend's barbecue. It's comfortable and stylish, and it's patriotic without looking like the American flag.

Shorts: Banana Republic / Top: Banana Republic (old) / Shoes: Payless Shoe Source (last season), similar here / Bag: Kate Spade

Here are few more options for wearing red, white, and blue depending how you'll be spending your day.

For the pool or beach:

Coverup / Hat / Bikini / Bag / Flip-flops

For a garden party:

Dress / Shoes / Bag / Bracelet

For a casual backyard barbecue (similar to my look above):

Shorts / Top / Sandals / Clutch / Bracelet
