Friday Fashion Inspiration - 26

Welcome back after a few weeks off to

I was contacted by Farfetch. and this is the criteria  We’re looking for bloggers to get creative with how they would style the stars & stripes of the American flag into an outfit.  This is a perfect opportunity to celebrate the 4th of July fashion style! It has turned cool here in my part of the states, so by the time it is fireworks, a pair of jeans might be needed.  These are Derek Lam jeans at Farfetch

The Jamie Jeans from Named Patterns would be so fabulous for this look

Now for those of you with the nice hot weather normally associated with the 4th of July, how about these great looking red shorts.  Moschino Pleated shorts

Vogue 9008 is a nice pleated (and non-pleated) short pattern  I think sewing down the pleats and adding more front belt loops would make them look even more like the inspiration shorts

Anyone need a cardigan for the evening?  For the chill or the bugs?  I love this one from Farfetch - 

Moncler Gamme Bleu

Change the front curve and Burda 7183

A great top (DKNY) with the colors of our flag,very patriotic and stripes, too.

With the bottom band, it reminds me of the Renfrew, which you can select several different necklines

Finally, your 4th of July might be spent by the pool,, so a new suit?

  That is my plan, poolside.

Lisa Marie Fernandez suit

Kwik Sew 3780 is exact match

So that is a round up of some fun summer clothing for some fun activities.  I hope you have a wonderful Independence Day celebration.

Disclosure.....I was contacted by Farfetch to style an outfit for the 4th of July and show our American Pride.  I made sure they knew I was a sewing blogger and not a fashion blogger.  This was fine with them and with this post I am in a contest with other bloggers.  The blogger with the best interpretation selected by Farfetch will win a merchandise voucher.
