How To Dress Up For A BBQ

With Labor Day right around the corner, I’m sure there is a BBQ or 2 in your future. It’s SO easy to dress down for a BBQ but what if you want to dress up? AND what if you want to dress in a tastefully patriotic way? Personally, I’m scarred by the Old Navy American flag shirts I had to wear as a child every year so I avoid anything that has a flag on it. But this red, white, and blue pencil skirt is the perfect blend of festivity and style. If a fit and flare is more your style, try this one. This print also comes in a killer dress which is just the cutest thing. I mean literally THE CUTEST.

If you’ve been experiencing even 1/10th of the heat wave that we have in LA, your next 3 day weekend won’t be filled with long sleeves and sweaters. This white crop top was a total hit when I wore it – I mean, the back of it speaks for itself. Plus, it’s on sale. If they don’t have it in your size, check this site! If you’re a ruffle girl, try this one (I ordered it too!).

To complete the outfit, I stick with the tried and true pops of red. My absolute number 1 red lipstick is this Dior in Diva. These ASOS red heels have made a few appearances lately and they JUST restocked so snag them quick! I love the thicker heels for it’s comfort which is also perfect should your BBQ be in a backyard. If you’re just a teensy bit clumsy and need something with a thicker sole, try these Nine West wedges which are part of their semi-annual sale!

So, what are you planning to wear this Labor Day? What is your BBQ style?
