Firecracker

The perfect Fourth of July BBQ outfit. 

<>
Shirt: Old Navy.
Unbutton and  wear over the dress for a casual style, or try something new, by wearing it under the dress!
Roll the sleeves, and look hot while eating that watermelon.
<>

Dress: Old Navy

Change out the sash for a cute skinny belt or leave it as is!
<>
Scarf: Old Navy
For a more dressed up look, try tying it to the side like more of an ascot style, or keep it in the front ruffled and frilly.
Neck a little too much for you? Try tying it around your head, or pulling your hair into a loose pony, tying it in place with your scarf.
<>
Sunnies: Urban Outfitters
Wear 'em out to look glamorous while protecting your eyes, or pull them up and wear them on your head! You'll look hot, while keeping your bangs out of your face.
<>
Sandals: Old Navy
I think having Red on your feet, will draw everything together, and keep you from looking like a blueberry, but feel free to try some blue. It won't pop, but it isn't going to look bad.

Other shoes:
J. Crew, Old Navy.

Don't be afraid to mix and match to create the perfect outfit! Playing it safe can leave you looking a little bland.

Keep in mind if adding a belt, to check yourself in the mirror, if it's a bright color, it might leave you looking cropped in the middle. And if you have a waist like mine, the last thing you want, is to appear shorter than you are!
Go a head and mix your prints! You might be surprised at how good they look when paired together!
If you are wearing shoes with that strap/tie around the ankle, be sure your dress doesn't go any lower than the knees. Trust me. It just won't look good.
Have fun shopping!
