Red, White & Blue


Top - J.Crew / Shorts - Old Navy / Sandals - Target / Bag - Madewell / Earrings - J.Crew Factory / Sunglasses - Amazon


I was going to order this top in white. Or maybe the petal pink. But something in me (probably the pregnancy hormones since I was about 38 weeks when I ordered this) made me go for the red instead. And you know what? I'm not mad about it. The red is so fun, and it's different than everything else I have in my closet. I actually had Cinco de Mayo in my head when I ordered it, but how fun would it be for the Fourth of July too? Which, by the by, is already less than a month away. Yes. What is happening. In case you're looking for more red, white, and blue inspo, check out this post. 

Okay, so the details on this top. It's fitting way oversized on me, but that's because pregnant brain apparently thought I would still be huge months later when Chicago finally started to warm up and ordered a 2XL. So you know, order your usual size and it will fit normally. And it is still available in six colors, so if red isn't your thing know there's another way. I'm still considering the pink I initially passed up, or maybe navy! Me and navy are having a major moment right now ;) 

And then these sandals. I know I've mentioned them a few times before, but they were only $20 from Target and they are the best things ever. Target shoes are a funny thing, I usually hate every pair and think they are so uncomfortable, but every now and then you find a real winner. I had a pair of booties from Target that were amazingly comfortable and I wore into the ground. These sandals are going to be the same thing. The faux leather top is really soft and sculpts to fit your foot really well, and the footbed is nice and cushy. I've been going on lots of long walks with Mia lately and these didn't bother me on a three miler we did last week. 

Okay, and this bag. It's the zippered transport tote from Madewell and I tried to ignore the fact that I wanted it for years because I deemed it too expensive. I ended up snagging it this winter with a gift card from Christmas, and it is so good. It somehow goes with everything, the leather is gorgeous, and it's the perfect size for adding in a crazy amount of baby stuff if you're rolling that way, or a laptop and all of your work essentials. I got the one with the zippered top because one time like eight years I got pickpocketed on a city bus and I am still scared of bags that don't close. 

Is that enough rambling for today? Probably - go enjoy your Wednesday!

Friday Finds: Red, White, and Blue

You guys, the Fourth of July is next week! I know, I know, say what?! We usually host a Fourth of July party and it totally snuck up on me this year - we just managed to invite people on Wednesday haha. So our friends and family who keep their plans loose will be coming ;) It's going to be a little more low key than usual this year since I have basically zero planning time - right now I'm completely focused on the baby shower I'm throwing for my sister-in-law Claire tomorrow. Omg it's tomorrow - cue the panic!

I haven't really planned any red, white, and blue outfits this year since we've been out of town so much, but I own so much blue and white I decided to just go get a red mani-pedi and call it a day. Oh, and I ordered this hat and this hat - let's see if either come on time!

Here are a few more red, white, and blue items in case you're doing any last minute shopping for the holiday:

Americana Outfit Ideas

Happy (almost) Memorial Day Weekend!! I'm actually around this year which is unusual - I've spent the past two long weekends volunteering with Destination Imagination. Jeff's mom won a weekend away in a beach house in Michigan a long time ago and was supposed to use it for an off-season weekend. For some reason the owner let us take Memorial Day (what?!) so we're driving up on Friday afternoon. It's not looking like the weather is totally going to cooperate, but we've got some board games packed and plans to visit a winery or two.

I love any excuse to dress patriotically - how about you? I put together a couple of outfit ideas in case you're looking for something to wear for the long weekend, or if you're feeling particularly industrious and are already planning for the Fourth of July:

Red Striped Tee


Tee - J. Crew / Jeans (super similar, I wear the tall) - Madewell / Sandals (similar here, here and here) - Target / Bag (a budget friendly option) - Clare V / Earrings (also available here) - BaubleBar


The striped tee. It's my top wardrobe staple, and something I always reach for when I'm at a loss for what to wear. It's a basic, but those stripes make it just a little more fun.

My closet was full of  navy/white and black/white stripes, so when I saw this little red number I basically had to put it in my closet. Plus those little sleeve ruffles - so fun!

I'm loving this tee now with jeans and layered under oversized cardigans and my favorite blazer, but this summer it's definitely going with my white shorts and white skirts. How cute would that be for the Fourth of July? And I'm definitely breaking it out for Cubs games this summer!

Ugh, summer. Can you come soon please?

Additional Red, White, and Blue Required


Dress (similar Lily, I also love this one and this one) - Lily Pulitzer / Bag - Old Navy / Earrings - BaubleBar / Sandals (similar) - Sole Society


Oh, I'm sorry, is the Fourth of July over? Because I'm not quite ready to put away all of my red, white and blue! I actually kept wearing it all of last week, and I'll probably keep on going the rest of the summer. It definitely helps that those are the colors for the Cubs!

I have a busy week ahead, between a couple of parties in my work life and my outside life, and trying to fit in all of the family time I can before my brother and sister-in-law head back to South Korea next week so I'll leave it here for now - hope you have a good one!

Are you looking for something to wear for the long weekend? I say look in your closet! I have a ton of blue and white, and a simple touch like painting your nails red or adding a red lip can make your regular old Saturday look perfectly patriotic. Some fun ideas for Fourth of July are below (click each to view the original posts):



 











What are your plans for the Fourth? Since we're flying back late on Sunday and I'm heading out again Monday morning we're planning on keeping things pretty chill, but we are going to sit up on our roof to watch fireworks! I hope you have a good one!
