Red, White, & Blue for 22!

2 pieces, $11 each for a grand total of a Red, White, and Blue deal for $22!

A 4th of July outfit that's fun and cute for the summer weather.  It's outdoor friendly for a 4th of July BBQ or hanging out in the sun before sunset to watch the fireworks.


Caption: Oh so fierce.  Oh so hungry.

It's all about stripes!  I was going to feature other combinations of the outfit but I figured to dedicate this post to just the 4th of July outfit itself.  It's simple to see that the shorts can be paired with a white tank or the striped tank can be paired with simple jean shorts or skinny jeans.



The top is super comfortable.  I was skeptical that the original price could be so high.  I mean.. wow, $78!  The fabric is amazing and the fit feels like it was made for me.  It just clings on so well!  The tank is boyfriend style so it's over sized but it was nice to just tuck in one side for a loose top feeling.  I have never even seen the brand T Los Angeles before until I found the top at Macy's.  Apparently the clothes are sold in mostly boutique stores across the nation.  I would definitely buy more clothing by T Los Angeles... as long as it's on a Tina-approved-price of course.
 
Item 1-- Boyfriend red/white striped tank
From: Macy's
Brand: T Los Angeles
Type of sale: Macy's One Day Sale
Original price: $78.00
Purchased price: $11.00





These shorts are very cute!  I absolutely love the tie in the front which gives it this sailor/yacht club feel.  It's perfect for a summer day.  I actually have not bought anything by Roxy since maybe the beginning of college.  I just felt like I grew out of it since I associate Roxy with being a teenager.  However, when I saw these shorts at Ross I loved the stripes and the cute front tie.  I was surprised to see that it was by Roxy and I was very happy with the price...and.. SOLD!

Item 2-- Blue/white striped shorts with front tie
From: Ross
Brand: Roxy
Type of sale: Ross everyday
Original price: $46.50
Purchased price: $10.99

To finish the outfit you can add sunglasses, sandals, and jewelry of your choice.  Play it up with strappy sandals and silver bracelets or play it down with flip flops and hemp/braided bracelets that could match the tie of the shorts.

Red, White, and Blue for $22 :)
