Although the Fourth of July has come and gone, I’m still feeling very patriotic! While red, white, and blue symbolizes our independence, I also think it screams summer. This color trifecta always creates a classic, polished look no matter what the occasion. I got this J.Crew anchor blouse last summer, and it continues to be one of my favorite dressy summer tops. Of course, I cannot pass up any opportunity to incoporate white bottoms! White jeans/shorts are one of my all-time favorite things about summer.
Since I had my white and blue, it was time to finish my look with some hints of red. I’ve been obsessed with red lips and red nail polish lately, so it was a no-brainer with this festive look!
*As I was typing this, I realized my entire outfit (minus the shoes and watch) is from J.Crew. Other than being a walking advertisement for J.Crew, I think that is a testament to how classic their clothes are!

Thanks, Erin! It’s one of my favorites for summer!
I love it.. 🙂 especially that shirt !!! Great
Thank you! It’s really comfortable on top of being cute!
I’ve been feeling the same way this July! Maybe July just brings out the patriotic spirit all month? Great outfit!
It’s such a great color combination that you want to wear it all month instead of just the 4th! Thanks!
I love how you styled this top! I saw it a million and a half times on the rack, now I’m kicking myself for not buying it!!
Also, I think you would like my blog! I feel like I am a walking J.Crew ad too!

Thank you! That happens to me all the time. I end up not buying something, then someone styles it amazingly and I regret not getting it! Checking your blog out now 🙂
Love the anchor print…fun yet classic!
Thank you! I completely agree!
I don’t know if you ever read the blog Classy Girls Wear Pearls, but you totally remind me of her, especially in this outfit! Love it.
