Let’s shop your closet for patriotic outfits!
Today we are shopping your closet for items to create patriotic outfits for Independence Day (July 4th) and/or Canada Day (July 1st). If you are looking for a vibrant-over-the-top approach for patriotic attire, this post is not for you. I will be utilizing a more minimalist approach to create a chic and modern look. So let’s start digging around in your closet and see what outfits we can come up with!
1st Identify Existing Summer Denim or Chambray Items in Your Closet
Look for denim or chambray shirts, shorts, dresses, or jackets. This will provide the blue or neutral in your outfit! (Yes, denim *can* be considered a neutral.)
2nd Identify White Items in Your Closet
We are looking for white shirts, blouses, shorts, pants or dresses. And if you have white linen, that’s even better…linen is super stylish this summer!
3rd Identify Red Accent Pieces ONLY
In my closet, I found a small red handbag, a red scarf, a pair of red ballet flats…and I also found a red bandana in my summer outdoor entertaining closet! Why do I suggest only using red for accessories and accents? A little bit of color goes a long way…and strategically adding small amounts of color provides for a more modern, chic outfit.
4th Identify Accessories with a Summer Feel
Look for straw handbags, neutral purses, sandals, etc. See what you find!
5th Mix & Match to See What You Come Up With!
Play around with your denim/chambray pieces, white wardrobe items, and red accent pieces. Mix and match to see what kind of outfits you come up with!
