Fourth of July Outfit Inspiration

Oh, happy day, people! I am so excited about our trip to NYC this weekend, and I’m planning my outfits and Charlotte’s like the planner that I am. I wanted to share some outfit inspiration with you and some of the things I’ll be wearing while trotting around the city. It’s been getting harder to find things that fit, but I actually found a few dresses from Old Navy a couple of weeks ago that were non-maternity, and I just knew I needed to clue you in on the sweet deals.

Here are four of the outfits I have planned for our trip, exactly as I’ll style them, in my third trimester glory and all. Remember, these are non-maternity pieces (although I did find one in maternity when I was doing the research for this post), so I’ll be wearing these even after baby boy arrives. That is a good deal in my book! I themed all of our outfits around the Fourth of July color scheme because who doesn’t look good in red, white, and blue?

FOUR. Pleated Swing Crepe Dress (Old Navy maternity version, Old Navy non-maternity version in black: I bought the non-maternity white version in the store last week. White’s sold out online. | Non-maternity, WHITE dress, similar options: Asos swing dress, Anthropologie swing dress, J.Crew short-sleeve cotton shirtdress) // Kendra Scott Rayne Necklace in Cobalt // Red Suede Wedge Sandals

NOTES

I love how comfortable and stretchy the first dress is, and I plan on wearing it with that cardigan if it gets cool in the evening. It’s actually an old cardigan from my closet, but this one from Old Navy does the trick.

I can’t wait to wear the second swing dress, because I love stripes! I’m pretty sure it’s still in Old Navy stores, but it is sold out online. I linked an almost identical one. I’ll wear that with a blue jean vest and sneakers.

The chambray swing dress has been a staple for my maternity wardrobe. I have a maternity version that I found at Target, but this one from Old Navy is very similar and not maternity. I love the light color, and you can’t go wrong pairing it with either a cobalt or white cardigan and fun red sandals. The only thing I wish I had are these red sandals. I’m hoping I can borrow a red pair from my sister.

The last outfit is my favorite, and I plan on wearing this white dress to dinner one evening. I’ll dress it up with some low-wedge sandals. To make it 4th of July inspired, make the accessories red and/or blue. Super simple, super cute. Side note about this dress: I wore this to a blogger luncheon this weekend, and a sweet friend told me I looked small. Y’all, I am 28 weeks pregnant. There is nothing small about me. Do yourself a favor and buy this for yourself! I think it’s a very flattering fit. If you can’t get to the store to find the non-maternity white version, I linked the black version, and I also shared a few similar options as well.

You know I’ll be rocking a red lip, my favorite is Mac’s Ruby Woo, and maybe even some red nails if I can find the time to do them myself.

Do you let holidays inspire your attire? A holiday and a trip definitely inspired these super comfy, super festive outfits of mine. I’m so excited and just can’t hide it! I hope your week is off to a great start, friend.
