brittany + samantha: four the fourth

we have a week left before july hits. um, what?
june has been a month teeming with beautiful memories with beautiful people & i am so over-the-moon excited about what july will hold. as i thought about what i would post for this particular wednrsday, i realized that neither samantha nor i have done an outfit post yet. in the same thought succession, i thought what better way to gear up for the turn of the month then give y'all four ideas for the fourth of july! so, here you are. 4 ideas [ in black and white, oops! ] for independence day.

beachy keen

i have practically lived in this outfit this month.

crazy easy, breezy & stylish!

doesn't look like a cover-up outfit & is totally socially acceptable to wear on any excursions prior to lazing on the sand or lounging by the pool.

the white & blue color combination pays homage to the classic colors of the day.

tank: old navy // bikini: h&m // short: american eagle // shoe: old navy // sunnies: forever21

the sea & me

a little bit more on the dressy side, perfect for a day spent on the beach.

though more obvious, it's still acceptable to wear into your local starbucks.

dress & bikini : h&m // hat: walmart

it's 5 o'clock somewhere

for the after-hours, spent at that party that will go into the early hours of the morning.

not layered but good for the chillier 10:30pm.

not recommended for midday hours. w a y too hot!

please note: the shirt is red & white striped. yay for black and white themes!

top: old navy // pant: american eagle // shoe: payless // sunnies: forever21

"by invitation only"

whether you're gonna be drinking a shirley temple or pinot noir, you've gotta be on the dressier side.

since it's the fourth, beach-y waves & a maxi dress proves to be a fool-proof & easy in-betweener for nights with your toes in the sand & a glass in hand.

a classier "hear hear" to the [freakin'] weekend [and america!].
