If you’re American, Happy 4th of July!
If you’re Canadian, then Happy Belated Canada Day! Hit “Like” if you had a relaxing long weekend! Just kidding.
As the girl in the red jeans, a holiday that encourages you to wear red jeans is my kind of holiday. One of the reasons that I like Canada Day more than Valentine’s Day or Christmas is that it’s more inclusive. Year after year, Canadians can all celebrate Canada’s birthday together, with the same amount of enthusiasm, regardless of our relationship status or religion.
My iPhoto collection includes many shots of me wearing red, white and blue. The complementary colours are fun, bold and clean. I’ve worn red, white and blue in Las Vegas, New York, Orlando and Washington, D.C. and I’m confident this pattern will continue on future vacations.
Blue and white pieces are also must-haves for Toronto Blue Jays fans. Most people who try to colour coordinate their outfit with team colours wear blue and white. However, if you add red accents, then that’s a grand slam in my books.
Red, blue and white are staples in my closet, so when it came time to plan what to wear on July 1 and July 4, I searched for high quality accessories that I will want to wear again year-round. Finding holiday-themed bargains at Old Navy is a reliable backup plan, but I set the bar higher this summer.
On my last shopping spree in Buffalo, I picked up a red Anne Klein watch at Macy’s. Red jeans are too casual for some events, but a red watch can still look elegant. Next, I got 2 Hillberg and Berk pieces: the white sand bracelet and Audrey necklace. I paired these pieces with black purses for Canada Day and the 4th of July. Finally, I completed the outfit with MAC’s Retro lipstick and OPI’s Big Apple Red nail polish. What can I say? I Love New York.
