Hot Damn Uncle Sam

I wish I had some more photos to show from this weekend, but unfortunately by the time we got around to taking outfit shots on Sunday, I realized I left my good camera at my mom's house and all we were left with was my little point and shoot! Damn! Whenever Chris and I go North we both tend to get so wrapped up in visiting family and friends and running around, that we forget to document the whole thing completely. Luckily I remembered to grab some shots of my outfit before we ran out to see fireworks in Portland, ME last night...

I've had this dress forever, but always feel weird wearing something so patriotic before July 4th. It was perfect for the day though, especially paired with my Jeffrey Campbell's:

Dress: Forever 21 ($19)

Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell ($60)

Sunnies: Fred Flare ($11)

Belt: from Mom

Bracelet: Vintage via Modern Millie's ($4)

I love the combination of red, white, and blue and with the addition of some little anchors, this dress is perfectly nautical and patriotic. The simple shape kept me very cool throughout the day, it was so hot! I wish we had had the chance to get to the beach. We were supposed to stay in Portland until this morning, but actually ended up driving back to Massachusetts last night at around 3 AM. Traveling is all well and good, and it great to see friends and family and all, but I am so happy to be home!

How was your weekend?
