"If you are looking for an alternative of wearing american flag patterned stuff to celebrate July 4th, then consider working with red, white and blue color palette. Pick one primary color and add the other two by accessorizing! This also makes your outfit more wearable for the other 355 days of the year :)"

"I tried to pick out three outfits that would work for events that are more formal, casual, or somewhere in-between. I do like the cheesiness of the american flag patterned clothing. Only on July 4th can you really pull off such overt patriotism and still look fabulous."
