The Land Of The Free

I can't believe that July 4th is over, I took a long weekend to spend time with my family and friends and wish I had more days off,lol. Here in New Jersey it was actually raining on fourth of July, but I already had planned my outfits with my daughter, so you know I was going to dress her up anyway.

I created four different styles for her, that you can go to her blog and see for more details. As for my outfits, I obviously wanted something patriotic but still mommy chic. It was very humid both nights so I went for shorts all weekend.
During the fireworks I used the American flag sweater I purchased at JOYCELESLIE last year, because it did get chilly at night. I was so happy the weather cleared up at night so we were able to see the fireworks with my daughter, who by the way was such a trooper and didn't cry once. I was a little nervous she would cry from the loud noise but she saw some of it and nodded off midway through. We also were able to spend time with my bestfriend/Annabelles' godmother, at her pool. I'm so happy to say she is fish like her mommy, she absolutely loved the water, it was such a fun day.
We ended the weekend with a nice stroll and early dinner at COSIMOS my favorite restaurant in Westfield NJ. While we were walking to the restaurant my mom spotted this place that had patriotic colors, so you all know that I had to stop for a little mini shoot and I am so happy I took these pictures, so in love with them.
Overall it was a great weekend with the family!! Do any of you like fourth of July like I do, it reminds me so much of my childhood and watching the fireworks with my mom and brothers...now I get to make memories with my daughter and husband.
Anyway check out below some pictures of my outfits and make sure to check out Annabelle's blog for details on all four of her fourth of July outfits.
