Party Ready: Independence Day

I’m getting excited to celebrate Independence Day.  I’m joining family in NYC.   What to wear to party it up?  Of course, something red, white and blue.   I like this JCrew  skirt.  It’s comfy and has a little stretch.

 

OR 

Mixing men’s wear with a  feminine touch is my favorite look.  The red-check  Lands’ End shirt and JCrew polka-dot skirt is a fun mix.  Let’s get the party started.

Thanks for stopping by.

The Summer White Shirt

When the weather is hot and I want something effortless and stylish to wear, I  could always count on a white shirt to keep me cool and polished.  A summer essential,  the classic white shirt,  is sexy, chic and fun.   This weekend I’ll pick up one or two  more white shirts for the hot summer days ahead.
