Happy Fourth of July! {celebrating w/ J.Crew?}

Happy Fourth of July Everyone! I wish everyone a great Fourth of July and safe travels. :)

Since a lot of us will be attending various outdoor parties, firework events, and traveling to visit family and friends throughout the weekend- I thought it would be fun to get ideas of what to wear today and during the weekend. (It's amazing how many times a JCA mentions an item or an outfit, which inspires me to wear something similar- you all have such wonderful taste!) :)

I am very excited about wearing the Gingham short-sleeve shirtdress (item F3174), which is shown above in the lower right corner. This is the perfect dress to wear today in the heat. And did I mention comfortable? So so so easy to wear.

What are you planning to wear this Fourth of July weekend? Are you planning to go "head to toe" J.Crew or parts J.Crew?

Do you have any items you would like to swap/sell/share among yourselves through your outside listing/auction site?

Sidenote: What's up with JCAs writing "sub" or "subscribing" as their comment? It just means they are subscribing to all the comments (which are then automatically sent to their email) in that particular thread. This way they can stay aware of all the comments posted. :)
