Several things could not ring truer.  Girlfriend loves a stripe, a patriotic palette, a straw fedora, her Red Ray Bans, and Red Vans...which therefore translates to girlfriend loves loves this time of year because not only is it totally appropriate, it's festive to boot!  No better time to share some of my current fave patriotic looks as well as some from the archives.  Remember, your fourth fashion need not be literal with stars, stripes, etc (although I absolutely do love that combo and don't think I won't be sporting These Fellas come Friday), you can mix and match the palette, do a stripe on stripe combo, or make it all Americana and Chambray it out with cutoffs or white denim.  Bottom line, have fun, be cozy, and show some love for the red, white, and blue!
