Stars and Stripes Showcase: Show Us Your Fourth of July

Happy first day of July! (Don’t worry, we can’t believe it either…)

Summer days sure do fly by, but we’re nothing but excited for the upcoming weekend. The Fourth of July always brings tasty treats, outdoor excursions and, of course, oh-so-cute patriotic attire. Whether you’re heading to the parade downtown, the lake for a day on the boat, your local firework show or your very own backyard, we want to see it all! 

Show us what you’re wearing, cooking or crafting for this weekend and we’ll share it on the blog. Just tag us in your Facebook posts, tweet at us, or hashtag midwestbloggers. 

Here’s a sneak peak at some of our Midwest friends showing how they do Independence Day.

1. Kayla from Love Lucy Girl pulled together some great pieces for the perfect weekend look. Bonus: she made it shop-able. 

2. Katie of To Live for Style mixes a bit of prep with hip for a relaxed Fourth of July look. Go 'Merica!

3. Kaylee and her friend Ali show two different Independence Day styles and a seriously beautiful hang-out spot on Pleats and Pearls.

4. How adorable are these mini pies by Julie of the delicious blog Coordinately Yours. View at your own risk - there's much more yum where that came from. 

And don’t forget to check out Midwest Blogger’s Pinterest board Midwest Summers for some stars and stripes inspiration!

Have a great rest of the (short) week!
