Let’s kick off the week with some fun Fourth of July inspiration. I love a good Americana look. I guess that’s the prep persona in me, but I definitely took this look to a little more edgy place than I would normally opt for. It’s been fun to push the boundaries of my usually classic style a little bit more. After all, what’s the fun in fashion if you don’t push your own envelope every once and awhile?

I had so much fun stepping out of my comfort zone by topping this fun candy stripe dress with a braided jean vest. Paired with some cheeky heart sunnies, you’ve got the perfect Fourth of July look without even looking like your trying! That’s my favorite part; some July 4th looks can be just so… literal. But paired with a comfy pair of espadrille flats (what I’ve been living in this summer) you’ve got a cute look for an American holiday or just a regular day of summer!

This post was brought to you in partnership with Emerson Rose. All opinions are my own. Thanks for supporting brands that help make Girl Wonder Life possible.
