Two fashion posts in a row, by golly, what is going on? Is this blog out of its freaking mind?
But seriously. Aren't fashion posts just the weirdest? Like hmmm... I wore clothes today. Let's take pictures of the clothes and put them on the public internet so even the people I didn't see that day can see the clothes I wore. It's weird, admit it. I am just barely getting to the point where I am even 10% comfortable taking "fashion pictures". The truth is I have never been great at dressing myself and mostly I just feel like a fraud.
BUT. I do love dressing for the fourth of July. I adore it. Here's the problem. Blue and red are colors that go fantastic together. Especially bright red and navy blue. They are just a stunning combination. But if I wear them together any other day of the year I look like a giant walking advertisement for America. So I can't. Those beautiful colors are strictly forbidden to be worn together except for on one glorious day... THE FOURTH.

Greg and I climbed up on that roof and watched those fireworks like it was nobody's business. That's the kind of people we are.
Now answer me this: Is there anything in this world greater than the fourth of July?
For your weekend reading:
+ One year later, I still struggle with this goal to be more "real" in my writing.
+ Some of you girls are on the prowl, so I wrote a sweet little diddy about how to catch a husband. You're welcome.
+ Last July I wrote this bad boy about Mormons. It is to date my number one most viewed post. And to think, it was all triggered by the Bachelorette!
+ I'm planning on hitting the sponsorship hard in July and August- get my blog some good exposure. I wrote this last summer about blog sponsorship. There is so much I could add to it now!
+ I cannot get enough of this sweet blog. It is totally sincere and totally real. She makes me want to eat healthy and be kind to others and have a baby. NOW. This week, her 6 tips for better instagrams was my favorite. (Not sponsored- I just totally love this blog.)
