I'm ashamed to admit that I most look forward to the celebrations of Independence Day for two principle things: number one, the patriotic clothing and number two, the num-nums (surprise, surprise).
However, I am extraordinarily picky about both. Patriotic, red, white, and blue outfits
can't be too cringe-worthy cutesy, and the food has to be a notch better than Safeway bought and color-dyed (with god knows what...) cupcakes (although, I am completely guilty of buying these for our neighborhood's annual 4th of July party..shh). Over the top patriotic outfits are means for a good giggle, but I prefer the more subtle approach to sporting the red, white, and blue pride. Unfortunately, today I only got as far as putting on my Pi Beta Phi sorority sweatshirt, which consists of all three colors, but usually I'd make a wee bit more of an effort. One year I even went to the extent of wearing a red bra and blue knickers! Oh for the free time I once had...
But despite not dressing myself to the tee today, I spent a fair amount of time (during my lovely jog in the park) thinking about how one can make patriotism trendy. The key ingredients: simplicity...and the J-crew style!
Here are some ideas. Mix and match and just have fun!
