I was lucky to spend the last few days, including the fourth, in Texas with family. It was an awesome time, and I’ll probably write another, more in-depth blog post about it. Until then, enjoy these patriotic pictures taken by one of my fellow bloggers and friend.

I love this shirt – it’s super soft and has navy stripes, so it’s right up my alley. I got it from Dry Goods, and it works for pretty much anywhere.

I gave the neck scarf trend a try but I’m not sure if I like it that much. It could be that I don’t know how to tie it right, but I gave it my best shot. As you can see below I took it off (and not that much time later).

I used the bandana later to wrap it around the handles of my purse to add something extra to it, and I actually liked it a lot. It’s a quick way to add a pop of color to an outfit.

I hope everyone enjoyed their long holiday weekends!
