Now, apparently in most parts of the country the Fourth of July is celebrated with barbecues and bonfires and the occasional firework display, but where I live, the Fourth is just as big as Christmas. It's not that our town is ridiculously patriotic or anything, but it is a small beach town and everyone knows each other and on the Fourth you could literally walk into any backyard bash or pool party and be welcome, there's just this wonderful sense of brotherhood all around. The roads all but shut down for a huge parade down main street and our day begins at eight in the morning and the parties do not stop until the fireworks at ten. It is just the most marvelous thing, and I know for the rest of my life I will always make a homeward pilgrimage for such a spectacular holiday.
But whatever your holiday looks like, it is very important to rep the Red, White, and Blue. Some people fear looking too similar to the Star-Spangled Banner is dorky, but take it from these runway hits; this color combo can be cool too!
