In today’s blog post I wanted to share the outfits I wore during my trip to Tucson this past April! During our quick weekend trip we stopped by lots of coffee shops, restaurants, boutiques, and Tucson sights so I needed to make sure my outfits were comfy and breathable. I always pack light by making sure the pieces I’m packing are versatile and can be easily mixed and matched that way it feels like I have tons of outfit options. I went for a retro/casual western style for my looks and I’ve linked everything in this post!

We decided to wake up early 4th of July morning to go on a walk in a nearby Pittsburgh neighborhood before it got to hot! We are spending the rest of the day indoors eating some yummy deserts + snack foods, playing games, listening to records and staying cool. I got a little patriotic and made a 4th of July inspired cake with white frosting and red and blue stars! Also, how cute is Indio’s little denim bow? I love our coordinated red, white and blue looks 😉

We celebrated my 29th birthday this week with a city outing, games, and cake of course! 😉 I can’t believe I’m only one year away from 30, which is both exciting and a little frightening to me at the same time… I’m looking forward to our destination wedding next year (we are shooting for late spring, more on that soon) and hopefully starting our family next year! These discussions have made me reflect on myself and what I want for my life more than ever.

I thought it would be fun to style some classic white, summer pieces in 3 Fourth of July inspired looks! I had a ton of fun styling these looks with thrifted purses and new sustainable pieces from ABLE and Grey State. I popped in some red and blue accents for that patriotic feel and channeled some retro vibes as well. I’m hoping this post will give you guys some inspiration on what to wear to your Fourth Of July celebrations this year, whether you are going to a backyard barbecue or having a picnic at the park!
