I am so looking forward to a long weekend (next weekend), but I can't believe it is already almost the Fourth of July! I don't like that summer is going by so fast, but I've been trying to enjoy every moment. Any celebration prompts the question, "What am I going to wear?" For the Fourth, there are so many other options than an American flag string bikini. My rules are, if you are going to the lake or a neighborhood party, keep it casual-cool, but if you are going to the Hamptons, take me with you and dress it up a bit.

Here are a few ways to wear American flag without looking too 'little kid-ish.' Pairing any of these tanks with cutoff shorts would work.

Here's a couple of looks I pulled from my closet. The shorts and shirt are great for a backyard barbecue, while the dress would work better for a party.

Here are three easy dresses that could be worn with sandals or espadrilles for a chic, but not so literal, American look.

And finally, some definite Don'ts- nobody is more patriotic in her attire than Katy Perry, but you don't have to actually wear an American flag as your outfit. Wearing it as pants or a corset it also unnecessary.
