Stylish Sundays: July 4th Inspiration

I was getting dressed one morning and realized I looked really patriotic. At first I thought about saving this post for July 4th, because I tend to just wear cozy shorts and a tee on the actual 4th out of practicality and sheer laziness.

But then I decided I should share the outfit now, so you guys could get an idea of something different to wear.

I curled my hair with my flat iron and then pulled it back with a Red Spotted Emi-Jay Hairtie. I told you I’m obsessed with these ties, I don’t use anything else in my hair.

I wore one my favorite necklaces which is affectionately called “Tiny Owl” in my house. Similar here.

I absolutely love these sunglasses, they’re the Madewell Drifter glasses and I feel like this style is absolutely timeless, you can get similar ones to mine here.

I bought these Sperry’s from Journey’s last year and I still absolutely adore them. They’re so comfortable and worn in and perfect. I can easily see wearing these til they fall apart, which will be a very long time from now. Sperry’s are incredibly well made.

Recently Sperry had a Sperry Spring Escape instagram contest with one of my favorite bloggers Carly from The College Prepster. The prizes were 5 pairs of Sperrys, and I was lucky enough to win one of the pairs.

I chose the A/O Sahara (Honey Sole), and I am completely in love with them. And I purchased a pair of the Raspberry Sorbet Laces to relace them with.

I am so completely in love with them. Even though they’re brand new, and I haven’t fully broken them in yet, they’re already so comfortable. The pink laces are so fun and bright, and were completely easy to put in, even though it looks like it would be kinda hard.

I can’t wait to wear these all summer long like I did my red Sperrys last year. I even wore them on what was probably the most exciting day of last year for me. The day we brought Howl home.

I have always loved Sperry shoes, and even though I just got this pair, I can’t wait to add more to my collection.

I thought I’d end this post with another picture of Howl. The top photo was taken yesterday, and this photo was taken the day we brought him home, it’s amazing to see how much he’s grown.

Let me know in the comments below if you love Sperrys as much as I do, and don’t forget to subscribe on bloglovin, because on Sunday I’ll have a post up of how I styled my new Sperrys.
