'Flowers and Stripes,' was the theme of our 4th of July outfits this year. We were holidaying in the Flint Hills, in Kansas, the Independence Day weekend. A wonderful and luxurious stay at the Flying W Ranch , amidst nature and great family time, was on the itinerary. shall have a detailed Blog Post and Travel Guide on our stay there.
Whenever you are co-ordinating outfits for the family, its always a good idea, to pick out one person's outfit and then play with colors around it. And picking out Mommy's outfit first, is always a good idea. Banker Stripes and Floral Embroidery are quite flattering on everyone, and are a major Spring - Summer trend . From dresses , to skirts, to tops, there' something for all. I know almost everyone has some version of these Banker Stripe tops with embroidery. Every major retailer has had some version of it , since last year. I had picked out mine from Francesca's some time back. And when I first wore it, I realized that it could be a great idea for Red,White and Blue. For my daughter, we opted for the Stripes, and for my Husband , we played up with tiny Flowers. Not to mention, we brought in the colors from Mommy's ensemble, by pairing them with a Neutral - Grey, for both Dad and Daughter.
I wanted to play up my newly acquired tan, and the Cold Shoulders were a no brainer. The Off Shoulder trend is still popular and quite flattering, but often with a kid, it can be a tricky option to wear for a road trip. That's where the Cold Shoulder comes up as a better option. You show off your tanned shoulders, but don't have to keep pulling up your top, every now and then. Red Lips(MAC Ruby Woo) is my signature, so Red Accessories just felt right for the ensemble. As the Top had such a Boho Chic vibe, I paired it with dark red Wedge Heels. The best part was that I could easily camouflage my problem areas - and not compromise on the overall outfit aesthetics. We balance volume with something which is more in shape, so a billowing Top, which conveniently hides a food baby, is paired pretty well, with my trust navy Skinny Jeans.
It was perfect for our 4th of July lunch , and a lovely day spend exploring the Flint Hills.
