Watching a parade is the perfect way to begin a day of celebration, especially if you are the parent of small children. Parades are spectacles that draw crowds of people cheering and celebrating not only our country, but the town in which they live. Many parades are filled with classics like fire trucks, old cars, and marching bands, but sometimes you can see exciting floats for local businesses, dance teams, and even cute dogs — and who doesn’t love a dog in a Fourth of July bandana? However, possibly the best part about Fourth of July parades is the candy.
When you think of the Fourth of July, you probably picture happy families coming together in someone’s backyard while you enjoy delicious foods cooked on the grill. If that’s the image you’re picturing, then why not use the Fourth of July as an excuse to do just that! Invite all your neighbors, friends, and family to a barbeque at your house (or attend someone else’s) and enjoy the company of your fellow Americans. You can eat amazing food and have people bring a variety of their favorite dishes, you can play games, and you can even take part in some friendly competition.
Regardless of how you choose to spend the day on the Fourth of July, there is one thing that everyone looks forward to when the sun finally sets — fireworks. A fireworks display is the cherry on top of a great day, plus it’s something the entire family can enjoy! Most towns or counties offer one big fireworks display that’s put on by the city, or you may prefer to do your own. Even if you’re not into the huge displays of fireworks, at the very least, you can enjoy handing out sparklers once it gets dark.
If you live somewhere warm, you may be thinking that a denim jacket just isn’t going to fly, no matter how good it looks. However, as the sun sets each night, but you’re not done hanging out with your friends, you might be singing a different tune. The great thing about denim jackets is they look good with almost anything, and they make the perfect layer for those summer nights that might get a little chilly. Pair your denim jacket with a cute throwback tee from Saturday Morning Pancakes, a pair of your favorite pants, and a nice wedge sandal, and you’ll be the best-looking person wherever you go.
Who doesn’t love a good tote bag? Tote bags should be an essential part of your wardrobe regardless of the season, but they are especially important during the summer! One of the best parts about summer is walking to your favorite local farmer’s market or stopping into small shops as you walk through the downtown area or on the boardwalk. However, what do you do with your purchases? If you try to carry them, you run the risk of having to worry about your belongings wherever you go, and most purses are not big enough for all the great stuff you want to buy. A colorful tote bag is the only solution! Not only will it complement your outfit, but it’s big enough to carry items you buy when you’re out and about, carry your towel and sunblock if you’re going to the beach, and so much more! Be sure to check out the adorable tote bags from Saturday Morning Pancakes that feature your favorite punny sayings.
The problem with most summer wardrobes is that you find yourself struggling to find a balance between comfy and cute. The answer? A shirt dress! Shirt dresses are an amazing invention that combines the comfort and soft texture of your favorite t-shirt with the put-together look of someone who took hours to create the perfect look. The best part about shirt dresses is they come in a variety of different styles. Some come with a waist belt that you can tie in a knot or a bow to help accentuate your waist, while others just look like an extra-long t-shirt! You honestly can’t go wrong with either.
A white tee may seem boring, especially when there are so many other fun summer colors, but it’s an essential part of your wardrobe for a reason. Let’s say you find a colorful skirt with a crazy pattern. Pairing your new favorite skirt with a white top helps you look put together, while highlighting your amazing find. You can also pair a white tee with your favorite pair of shorts or a cute jacket — the possibilities are endless! A comfortable white tee is extremely versatile, making it the perfect addition to any wardrobe. That being said, if you’re planning on wearing your new favorite white tee to your uncle’s barbeque, you might want to consider investing in more than one.
Whether you’re wearing a cardigan over your favorite tank top, pairing a long sleeve shirt with a cami, or choosing the perfect jacket to go with your new top, a layered look is a classic that can’t be beat. For those who prefer a layered look over any other style, you’re most likely someone who wants to be prepared for all situations. Everyone knows that is you live in a place where the weather is unpredictable, layers are the way to go — not to mention the look is super cute. Your layered look says that on top of being prepared, you may be the mama bear of the group, someone who takes care of others without letting their fashion go to the wayside.
When you think of a top that flatters your figure, you probably have one or two tops in mind. A top that flatters your figure can come in many shapes and styles, because as you well know, people come in many different shapes and sizes. The person who wears the shirt that flatters their figure is someone who is extremely confident in how they look, or they may just be fakin’ it ‘til they make it, which we can totally respect. It can be difficult to find that perfect shirt that shows off your waist and makes you feel like you’re on top of the world, so if you’re that person that’s always wearing shirts that make you feel like a queen, people better know to stay out of your way.
Shirts with a whimsical pattern can be a fun addition to your wardrobe, especially if you’re an expert when it comes to turning them into outfits. If you like to wear whimsical patterns, whether it’s on your shirt, pants, bags, or shoes, there’s a good chance that you are someone who loves to have fun with life! Wild colors and unique patterns are just fun, and if you are someone who likes to laugh and have fun and not take everything so seriously, then wearing a whimsical pattern either every day or every once in a while might bring you joy!
When one person looks at a shirt or sweatshirt that is starting to go a little threadbare or looks like it’s seen better days, they might think that it’s time for that article of clothing to retire, but not you. You are someone who likes to feel comfortable and secure, regardless of whether or not what you’re wearing is considered “fashionable.” Your old worn-out shirt may not look the best, but to you it contains so many memories, and it’s old-looking because you’ve worn it so many times that it finally has the soft comfortable feeling that you love.
