Something about the Fourth of July has always felt so special to me. It’s truly the pinnacle of summer: backyard barbecues, pool days, fireworks, and time well spent with loved ones. Aside from actually celebrating the holiday, there’s another fun aspect that I always start thinking about way too early for my own good, and that’s what to wear.
