Fourth of July is just around the corner and I can already taste the delicious bbq and fresh squeezed lemonade. Growing up, my family celebrated the holiday on South Padre Island where the day was spent relaxing on the beach, soaking up the sun, and eventually finding our way to our favorite restaurants by sunset. When night came, we would huddle on the balcony to watch the fireworks show and without fail, I am always completely enamored. Afterwards my family will drive to the bay side of the island and spend hours popping our own fireworks.

This year, however, I will be on a flight to Puerto Rico! So I’ll be celebrating the holiday on a different beach with very different foods!

When I put this outfit together for Fourth of July, I wanted to make sure it was affordable, comfortable, and festive. The whole look is centered around these patriotic shorts I bought from Target. These are currently on sale so if you don’t have anything to wear this weekend, grab a pair! I complimented it with a linen white tank my mom handed down to me which I love as a staple piece. It’s light, breezy, and perfect for Texas humidity. I stacked small rustic bracelets together and my platinum Drusy double ring by Kendra Scott for accessories. To complete the look, I rocked a gorgeous pair of Steve Madden Amily gladiator sandals. I never thought I would love such a statement piece but they really add the perfect amount of “edge” to any outfit.

SHOP THE LOOK:

Thanks for stopping by. Have a safe Fourth of July and keep an eye out for pictures from Puerto Rico!
