Floating into the 4th of July with the Sunday Showcase

July 3, 2022 /

I have been cranking out some blog posts preparing myself for a month of skirts in July with Ada but had to share this fun floaty dress I wore one day in New Orleans for our July Sunday Showcase. I picked it up in a boutique at home thinking it would be nice on hot days with or without a belt. I refrained from adding a belt and let it loose in these pictures. The only thing I will say is that it did need a slip so I stopped by Walmart to purchase one before the pictures. I thought that this garage door accross the street from our rental was a fun and different background for pictures.

We will be having a cookout with friends and family this 4th and I am not sure what I will wear. I wore this dress yesterday with a woven belt so I am thinking maybe my red statement pants and a tank? I did wear this at the beach in Mississipi but let me tell you, I am spoiled with where we go to the beach usually (on the gulf near Destin) and the beach in Mississipi couldn’t compare at all. Darker sand, darker water… It didn’t give me beach vibes!

This dress which I bought for $16, falls in my favorite summer clothing category: loose and floaty and covers the legs preventing bug bites and getting stuck to the car seats. It moves well so it would work for watching fireworks: we are hoping our neighbors put on as good of a display as last year.

I definitely feel the mumu vibes or beach vibes without a belt! Not my typical silhouette as my husband commented but I sure felt comfortable as this was one of the hotter day on our trip.

I am thinking of other ways I could wear this and I think a white knotted graphic tee over it would be very cute! Of course adding a white or denim jacket over it would give it shape too. Maybe I will try that early fall.

I have enjoyed documenting my outfits on this last trip as I thought all of my outfits were winners. This was my last one to share. Each was appropriate for the weather and our planned activities.

Happy 4th of July! I hope you will enjoy celebrating with friends and family! Stay cool and enjoy yummy food and hopefully some fireworks too. I hope we can make a fire and enjoy some s’mores as we haven’t done that in a while.

And how cute are Ada and her daughters in their matching outfits? Love it! That is one thing I haven’t done much with the boys even though I really could with color schemes!
