I love America contd.

Here in Newport Beach, the fourth of July pretty much is the most

exciting event that happens all year. For me, the fourth has

become synonymous with boating/sailors/all things nautical

since I moved here almost seven, ack, years ago.

People here really do take their boating, their red white and blue

home decorating, and their casual bay front drinking

of wine and other spirits seriously.

I'd say the related fashions for these activities

share the same snappy colors..?

And so, a quick etsy search of all things pertaining to golden anchors,

rope, and deck shoes has convinced me to do a couple Independence

day tribute outfits (vintage, of course , because that is just the phase I

am in). *Keep in mind, too, that all patriotic outfits worn on the fourth

need to be slightly over the top.. perhaps with one too many red

or blue elements. Tackiness is mandatory to stay in good humor

on a national holiday.

Yankee Doodle drumroll please..

1.) Beach boardwalk girl

Beach boardwalk girl is clearly under five foot five inches tall, or

as Meghan tells me, under five foot four inches.. as she wears

a jumper painlessly. She makes beach cruiser riding look good.

(I am jealous of her bike control.)

Chances are, she has really cute effortless hair. Bitty.

2.)Classy boater girl

Classy boater girl has it way too together to consort with frat

guys on the beach, take jello shots, or go within ten miles of

the Balboa Saloon. Tear. She is on a envy producing sailing

vessel of some sort and casually chatting about the tasting

notes of an amazing Spanish wine(she knows the difference.)sigh.

She probably has brown eyes and brown hair and

an easy tan. I always admired those brown eyed, brown haired

women. Stay classy.

3.) Fun girl

Ahoy! Fun girl has limited self discipline and is willing

to drink whatever a salty dog offers her. She is not afraid

to awkwardly roller skate on the boardwalk and

wear oversized americana beads for the occasion.

Sound familiar? Yes, I am most closely related to

the fun girl. This fun girl loves looking at belts, but would

never wear one, and opts instead to carry a back up pair of shoes

to keep the party going.
