dress // croquet set // headband // sneakers //  sunglasses

When I was little, my sister and I loved to pull out our parent’s croquet set and play. Neither one of us really knew how to play or kept score, we enjoyed trying to hit our designated color ball through the wickets. Our croquet set originally belonged to my grandparents. I would guess it is about 50 years old, and still in (somewhat) great shape. I have a lot of fond memories of playing croquet with my sister, and my parents. When I am married with kids living in a house, I want to buy a croquet set of my own and create new memories with the classic, beloved game.

It’s time to pull out our red, white, and blue attire because the Fourth of July is only 2 weeks away! We all know that this year celebrating the Fourth is going to be very different than the past. Some cities are canceling their parades and firework displays, and our party celebrations will be much smaller. I wish I could be here in Ohio celebrating with my family, because no one does Independence Day better than Upper Arlington, but I must head back to the city. I will be back in NYC for the Fourth and I assume not doing much of anything. Maybe I will end up getting together with a few friends, find somewhere safe, and socially distant to watch the Macy’s Firework display. I would like to go to the Hamptons but I am not comfortable yet with public transportation. Although I am do not have current plans to celebrate the Fourth I still want be festive by dressing up for the holiday.  Here are a few outfit ideas to celebrate red, white, and BOOM!
