The Red, White, and Blue color combo is a classic look that won’t let you down. It can have a nautical flare, which is always a great look, but the contrast of the navy and red always looks awesome – and then the white helps the outfit balance between the two extremes. Like you saw in this “Polka Party” Styleboard, I love polka dots and they are definitely really in right now! I got this jacket I have on at Forever 21 for only $35 – total steal! And I also got another really well-priced black and white polka dotted Cardigan that you’ll be seeing soon…
I don’t shop at Express often, but I must say that these pants fit really well! I had to get the waist altered a little, but everything else fit wonderfully – and I love the stretchy fabric! For my hair, I had it half up with a few bobbi pins and then threw it up quickly in a messy bun and grabbed it all with a big clawed clip – really easy!
