Independence Day Style

Most 4th of July celebrations are beginning today but just in case you're still planning to go out searching for the perfect look for your Independence Day gala, here's a couple of great ideas that are outside of the norm.

Everyone will be going for the cutesie sundress look or casual jeans and tee and there's nothing wrong with that but why not do something different? Sparkle up the party with a fabulous retro 60's look! I'm loving this Polka Dot Halter Bubble Dress by Jessica Simpson. Already a fan of her footwear line, I'm quickly becoming a fan of the clothing as well. The dress sells for $98 on the Jessica Simpson website and is also available in Blue/White. Either color is very patriotic with a coordinating pair of strappy sandals or peep toe pumps.

Maybe you're going to an evening cocktail party to have a few drinks and enjoy the fireworks. Well, you can be sure to bring a few fireworks of your own, showing off your summer toned bod while rocking Victoria's Secret Exposed Zipper Jersey Dress (sale: $49.99). It's from their "Flirty Little Dress" collection and I can see why! I'm so into the exposed zipper detailing on a special occasion dress. It gives a vibe of sexy with a hint of surprise especially when placed along the back. Subtle yet alluring. That's a look I'm truly in support of!

So get out there and spice up the night...or day! Happy 4th of July!
