AMERICANA

July Fourth is definitely one of my favorite holidays! Nothing says summer like Americana parades, festivals, cookouts, fireworks, being at the pool, and time with family & friends. This year I am looking forward to seeing all the Americana fashion that seems to be everywhere right now. Although I love the idea of rocking star prints and flag tees, I also love the idea of keeping it simple with a classic chambray piece. A few of my favorites are above! How do you do Independence Day? Dressed up or dressed down?

SPLATTER DRESS

Dress: Francesca's, Top: H&M, Belt: Forever 21, Sandals: Target, Bag: Kate Spade, Sunglasses: Forever 21

Sometimes you look in your closet and pull out a piece you have neglected over the years and decide it's time to bring it back to life. That's what I did with this dress. I have had it for years and rarely wear it because I don't love the way it looks on me. I recently said to my husband, "Maybe I could turn this dress into a romper". I haven't pulled out the scissors just yet, but instead I decided to pair it with my favorite chambray top (which I have been wearing with everything lately) and give it a whole new look. I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked it. I love finding new ways to bring old pieces back to life! Absolutely nothing about this outfit is new, which I love. Somewhere deep down I knew this comfy cotton dress would find it's way back into my wardrobe. Summertime is the perfect time to experiment with all those old dresses you have hanging in your closet. Have any of you brought a piece back to life lately? If so, how did you like it?
