God Bless AMERICA

4th of July means cookouts, fireworks, parades, but most importantly, America's independence. It's also fun to show your patriotism with fashion, I mean, why not? As the 4th of July was approaching, I couldn't help but think about going all out for this day with my American flag attire. Unfortunately, work got in the way of my plans, so I'm keeping it simple this year with a red and white striped tank and navy blue high-waisted pleated shorts. Next year, I hope to be more prepared and maybe complete the whole DIY flag shorts. Anyway, here are some 4th of July fashion trends that I am currently loving!!

I'm totally obsessed with both of Katy Perry's looks! I definitely plan on recreating that off the shoulder sweater next year! How cute AND patriotic!

An American flag bikini is an absolute MUST for the 4th, especially if you're spending it on the lake or beach!

Totally making these shorts next year!!

These two options would be so cute with some high-waisted stone wash shorts.

Other looks I love!

Happy 4th of July to all!! Be safe and enjoy! Thanks for reading!!

90's Throwback: Kelly Kapowski

If you grew up in the 90's, then you probably watched Saved By the Bell. If you're a girl, you probably idolized Kelly Kapowski (Tiffani-Amber Thiessen). Who didn't want to be her? She was the prettiest, most popular girl at Bayside, AND dating the cutest boy in school, Zack Morris. Unless you've been living under a rock, then you too have noticed that the 90's are making a comeback in fashion trends. You know what they say, "what goes around, comes around." And that couldn't be more true. This post is focused on one of my childhood idols, Kelly Kapowski. She was the queen of florals, crop tops, and girly prints. She even rocked those bodycon skirts that are so popular now. Here's a look at Kelly's wardrobe, along with updated versions for today.

Florals, Florals, Florals!

Floral Pants. I have been seeing these everywhere! 

These are from Delia's. You can pair these with a crop top like Kelly, or choose a sheer blouse, pastel top, or a tank with a denim jacket thrown over it for that 90's appeal.

Floral dresses and skirts were basically a staple for Kelly Kapowski. Here are some modern versions of the floral dress.

The first one is SO Kelly! Both dresses can be found at Forever 21.

Floral skirt from TopShop

Floral bodycon skirt.

Add a light wash denim jacket to complete your look. Another staple for Kelly. Denim Jacket from Old Navy.

And don't forget the Keds!! Aren't these pastel floral Keds soooo Kelly Kapowski?

Thanks for reading!!
