Flags through Fashion!


Hello Fashion followers, I hope everyone had a fabulous and fashionable weekend. Here in the united states of course we celebrated our independence day holiday. On that note I wanted to take a moment and touch on a fashion faux paux. That I noticed and believe is common. That being donning ones self with a country’s flag. This past fourth of July weekend I observed numerous citizens with the American Flag plastered on everything from T-shirts to full jackets. It is my thought that showing your patriotism to any country can be done in a more fashionable and tasteful manor.

For instance I myself chose to portray my patriotism for my country. By pulling the United States flag’s colors of red, white, and blue and using them in my outfit. My base consisted of a white sequined tank top purchased from a whole sale department store. Along with white capri’s (a staple to any summer wardrobe) that I have had for numerous years. I then used a royal blue silk wind breaker from a high end boutique and a clear vinyl belt with red trim and buckle that I found at a friend’s consignment store to complete my ensemble. I hope in that I might inspire a few people to show there patriotism for there country through fashion! Thanks for reading and remember friends, loved ones and people first, then fashion.
