White Denim

Big Sis: It's 112 degrees today and so my daydreams are taking me to far off places (like December and January) where someone like me can wear coats, jackets, and jeans to their heart's content. I created this outfit on Polyvore with a white denim jacket, just to remind me of better weather to come. Also, though I can't wear one right now, I'm loving the white denim jacket look. This versatile piece can look casual or dressy, and can bring a cute, crisp look to any outfit.

Glee's Diana Agron wears her jacket with a flowy, knee length dress and summery sandals. I love the dark blue and crisp white together.

The white denim jacket looks cute and casual with khaki shorts and a ruffled top. 

I never would have thought about pairing this jacket with a white shirt, but with the necklace for contrast, it really works! 

Maxi dress + this jacket = the perfect look for a casual night out or lunch with friends.  

These celebrities rock their white denim jackets. Doesn't Jessica Alba look cute in that scarf? ...sigh. I'll just stand under a fan for a little while, clothes my eyes, and pretend it's fall. 

If you live someplace with nice, cool weather, or just want to prepare for fall, this jacket is available at Target for $24.99. You know the fashion advice that says never wear white after Labor Day? Ingnore it! :)

American Girl

Big Sis: I know that Independence Day is more than three months away,
but these cute red, white, and blue bracelets have me seeing stars (and stripes.)
I found some cute patriotic outfits and accessories that make the most out of
this traditional color combination.

This super cute red outfit featuring a striped skirt with a patterned navy and white blouse pays homage to the American flag without going overboard. 

These outfits are a more casual take on red, white, and blue. Perfect for 4th of July picnics or fireworks on the beach. 

I love this pretty glass-beaded patriotic bracelet.  

Let's not forget our friends across the Atlantic whom also celebrate their patriotism with red, white, and blue. I'm loving this vintage 1940's painting of two women wearing flag-inspired dresses. 
Oh my gosh. I would wear these patriotic Popsicle earrings from Etsy in a heartbeat! In the famous words of meme cats everywhere; "Can I has?"

A darling navy striped dress with red sandals and coordinating purse = the perfect patriotic outfit. 

If I could crochet I would be making this patriotic beach tote right now. 

 Red, white and Blue TOMS. These call for another, "Can I has?" 

Doesn't she look classy and cute in her pretty patriotic dress and cardigan? I think so.
