what ya wearin 4th of july 2014

I am more than excited to bring back "What Ya Wearin" for holidays! So I hope you always remember to send me your pictures on special occasions... and what better fashion holiday than the 4th of July?!?!

Let's get our 'Merica on.

@kmartin9 had the perfect "time to get star spangled hammered" tank and bandana on, and I'm also loving all of her friends' outfits!

 A red bandana is all you need sometimes, as @ameliasullivan shows.

How awesome is @justjem24's entire ensemble?! The shirt, the headband, YES GIRL.

Have you ever seen more epically-American shirts than these on @shayna1532, @kmay703 and friends.

@laceyy_peterson even got her pups involved!

I am loving the fringe and skirt combo on @angie__i, and all of her friends!

She's got the American tank, but I mostly love @rodecvt's make-up!

I don't think I could be any more obsessed with @layne_xox's skirt than I am.

More crop tops and appropriate colored dresses with @_lalalyndsey

Doesn't get more AMURICAN than @thedjty's outfit

@Bradlisan was the only one to send nails this year! But they're goooddd. 

Loving all the DIYness of @britterz09's outfit!

@kbabayyy and her man went all BSpears and JT on us with the matching outfits, and I'm so not mad at it.

DAY. DRUNK. FOR. AMERICA. YES, @ksnedegar.

And her sis @amsnedegar did a red scarf right, with a dress and a blue tank/white shorts!

I think this is the best submission for a WYW post I've ever gotten and ever will. PROPS, @meganspiveyy

@merrmerrbear deserves some props too for these DIY shoes!

Loving @canadiancutieee06's hair... and dog.

And @its_foreign_yoshi put on his fancy pants for the special occasion!

As for me, I spent most of the day in the studio, but I did get to go to a BBQ for a couple hours beforehand. Decided to bust out my handydandy American flag scarf as a shirt, and the skater skirt that you've probably seen me wear at least a dozen times.

-scarf from Jane.com

-skirt from ASOS

-sandals from GoJane

-earrings from BlueLans and Charlotte Russe

-bracelets from BlueLans

-must have fanny pack from an event

I should have taken a picture from the back, but all I did was tie the scarf in a knot and tuck the ends into my bra around the side. I think I'll be doing this a lot more with my scarves.

BONUS, in case you missed this from my Instagram... my USA outfit from earlier in the week.

-same scarf as above

-tank from F21

-DIY cutoff shorts from Walmart

Thanks for another fun WYW day, and sorry for the delay in getting it posted! Turns out I need emergency mouth surgery for "bone deconstruction" this week. Yay.

love,

special edition! what ya wearin 4th of july

Even though most of your outfits for last week's What Ya Wearin Wednesday were red, white and blue... I wanted to do a special holiday edition because they're my favorite!

GOTTA start with @JannaShepherd's amazing outfit for her themed workout! Get it girl!

I feel like @jenniferohcious looks a little bit like young Lizzie McGuire... but I'm lovin' that bandana!

@_travis23 is making his debut on here with a fantastic choice in shirt and matching kicks.

Just LOOK at these outfits and I dare you to try and tell me they're not awesome. I can't even deal with the greatness of those leggings on @lifeinasuitcase.

Oh hi, ridiculously adorable crop-top on @alorabuzz and sexy top combo on @aclarkxoxo

Genuinely obsessed with @blakeleeeee's top. It's a bathing suit but you could wear it as a tube top/bandeau/anything!

@amsnedegar's hat/bathing suit whitness is superfabulous. 

I'm lovin' @ksnedegar's freedom shirt and red jeans! And @abaker1804's red shit/white shorts are a staple.

@bhensleyy's dress is cute for any day by the beach, especially the 4th!

Props to @KaciKruz who didn't even have to shop for her FREE shirt/outfit! Perfectly 'Merican!

@toribabyy14 and her BFF got festive with some beads!

No explanation needed for the greatness of @alexgator13's shirt.

@chassidymay got to celebrate in Florida! Double the spirit!

Pretty obsessed with @modelbrittanyj's tank, and then the headband she put on later.

And @naomicvargas celebrated in London, but still rocked a HOTT red skirt.

I spent my day floating on the bay and drinking my magic punch, so this here outfit was perfect. 'Merica flops [$3 from Kohl's], bathing suit [from Walmart a while ago], Sorry I Party tank [c/o Pretty Partier], bandana from Chilifest, earrings from China, and my nails. Wham bam thank ya Uncle Sam. 

The best part about these outfits: Even though they're kinda "themed," I feel like they're perfect for any day of the summer. From Memorial Day to Labor Day! We love the USA!

love,

elizabethany

PS: If I missed you or you didn't get a chance to send yours in since you were probably having too much fun, just shout a holler and I'll add ya in no problem!

20 red white and blue outfits for the summer holidays

4th of July, Memorial Day, and Labor Day have all turned into some fashionable holidays since people are all about their 'Merican pride! So... to help you out this week, I found some of my favorite outfit inspirations for every occasion!

This is one of those outfits that could be worn anywhere. You have the blazer to impress people, and everything else is fun for when the drinks are kicking in.

Sequins or not, a white dress with a cardigan for when it's cooler at night and of course the red belt, shoes, and other accessories: Win.

How comfy is this for a BBQ?! It probably feels like pajamas, and everything is simple, but it totally works. I'm lovin' the simple hair with it too.

Chambray shirts could be your best friend for these holidays. Wear em with or over anything for that blue touch.

Flowy white skirts: Perfect for poolside, grill-side, beach-side, whatever-side hangouts!

Remember this from What Ya Wearin' Wednesday? Whether you have blue polka-dotted pants, shorts, skirt, dress, whatever... pairing them with a red blazer is a fantastic idea.

Also seen on WYWW: How can you go wrong with red pants and a starry shirt?!

This is so comfy, but totally classy! Everything flowy, and the red belt is peeking through for some fun.

Also an idea for a chambray shirt that may be one of my favorites: Pairing it with a red or white bodycon dress!

Easy, simple, great: Red shorts/pants and a blue striped shirt.

How cute is this?! They're all rather unique pieces, but if you can find em, you gotta wear em!

Another easy solution to coming up with some blue in your outfit: A jean jacket or vest!

This is perfect for a day out on the town, party hopping, whatever! White pants or shorts with a blue top and fedora... then add some hints of red with accessories!

You can find 'Merican bandanas anywhere right now, and they're so fun to wear in your hair! 

Also: 'Merica scarves! Wear it normal, around your head, or my personal favorite idea: As a bandeau top! [You can get the one I have for $15 shipped right now.. bargain!]

You could also be inspired by any of the red, white and blue outfits I've worn recently: 

-white dress/scarf

-DIY no-sew pocket embellishment

-DIY USA cutoff shorts

-blue dress and accessories

I was also thinking the combination of polka dot jeans and a red striped shirt would be really cute and easy.

Hopefully this will help! So many options, you're bound to be able to create one of them with what you already have in your closet!

Also, I wanna do an extra post for #WhatYaWearin4th on Thursday.. so if you get a chance, take a picture and send it to me by Friday afternoon! I love holiday themed WYWW!

love,

elizabethany
