Lakeside Love

Red, White and Blue Look

We all know that the Monday after a holiday is always the worst — especially when you’ve just spent it with all your favorite people.  Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays and for the past two years, we’ve headed down to Lake Norman in North Carolina for a weekend of sparkling sips, fireworks and an epic tournament of cornhole.

What to Wear to the Lake

Usually, my lakeside attire involves a bikini, barefeet and a bucket of bug spray, but on Friday, I forced all of my friends to dress up in their patriotic best for a few group photos (more on that later!).  My outfit didn’t deviate much from the red, white and blue look I shared last week, but I like what I like: button ups, statement necklaces and ‘Merica.  Hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July weekend!
