Ah, yes, the 4th of July. A day when it is acceptable to run around in a stars and stripes bikini or high-waisted flag shorts and a crop top, eat lots of BBQ and potato salad, and day-drink to your heart's content. Oh wait, we can do that ANY day! 'Cuz this is 'MURRICA. I mean, that's pretty much every day of our American summer, isn't it? At least it should be.
I will say, I have been fortunate enough to travel to a few different countries, and while it's refreshing to be somewhere new with a different culture and customs, coming back Home is always a great feeling. There are some things about our country that are just..... awesome. Yes, I poke fun at the whole 'Merica thing (let's be honest, some people are a little crazily obsessed) and how our country is THE country and all of that super conservative stuff about America.... but in reality, our country is pretty great. There is something so nostalgic about the Americana way. That down-home, good eats, family-focused life that I think deep down we all dream of, at least in some kind of variation of that. Let's be honest, nothing screams happiness and contentment like a perfect summer day, on the lake or by a pool, or just hanging out with your family at a backyard BBQ, am I right? The 4th of July encompasses that.... and thank God we declared Independence in Summer! What would we do if it hadn't been?!?
So in honor of America, go BBQ something. And if you're like me, you had ideas of making some fun 4th of July treats but didn't actually plan them out.... so here are some simple ideas you could throw together today, as well as some cute outfit ideas from The Limited! And even though today is the 4th, the good 'ole red, white, and blue combo will never be out of style in this lovely country. Rock it for all of July!
