sunglasses - Nasty Gal / necklace - vintage, Park Slope flea market / tote - giveaway at German convention / striped dress - Old Navy / ring - Amsterdam shop / sneakers - Target
Happy 4th of July! Even though we're in Germany at the moment, I couldn't resist putting together this little red, white & blue outfit in honor of the holiday - now if only we could find some fireworks!
Please don't let the sunglasses and bare legs fool you though - it was cold and overcast for the better part of our 4th, and I spent our entire day out (at the zoo!) with my jacket bundled up tightly, shivering and cursing myself for not wearing something warmer. I actually wore tights yesterday, and probably should have again today but I just couldn't stomach the idea of tights on the 4th of July! Fortunately the sun came out and it warmed up a little right at the end of the day, just in time for us to take these photos in a little sculpture park on the way home.

Subtle red, white and blue - fantastic! That necklace is so unusual, very pretty with the red chain.
Thanks Sorcha - I love this necklace, the red chain is what made me notice it at this tiny little flea market.
thanks for the shout out to American readers! : ) I love tennies with a preppy dress. This is my kind of outfit.
happy fourth of july! Loving the outfit! Looks very festive and perfect for the day! Of course a bit harsh for a cold day, but well that's real national pride then!!!
so patriotic! i hope you found a way to celebrate!
Thanks Jessica! Yeah, given how much walking we're doing on this trip, I'm doing my best to save my feet and make sneakers look good. :)
Thank you! Yeah, I definitely got some odd looks from the Germans, all of whom were sensibly dressed in long pants and jackets. Fortunately it finally warmed up today, I was getting worried we wouldn't have a summer at all!
Well, we didn't find any fireworks, but a delicious dinner of krakauer wursten and heffeweizen sort of made up for it. :)
Delectable! I love the stripes with your canvas kicks. Perfection.
Thank you! Summer always seems like the perfect time for slightly preppier dressing.
This is a great look on you! I love what a classic, American-girl look this is -- it's a change for you, since you're usually so european sophisticate, but it works.
