Hey friends! I’m traveling up through Northern California this week so I asked some talented ladies to share posts while I’m away. Enjoy! This post is by fashion contributor Ashley of The Daily Bucket.

Nothing says summer (and 4th of July) like a backyard bbq with friends and family. Here are some outfit inspirations and tips on what to wear for your next bbq bash.  Keep things flirty and fun by wearing an easy jersey sun dress and a patterned head scarf. Dress it up with a belt, some bracelets, and strappy sandals for a simple, yet styled look. You can always throw in a sweater too for when things cool down at night. If you like to keep things casual then cut off shorts are the way to go. The great thing about cut offs are you can make them any length by cutting up an old pair of jeans. Pair this look with your favorite v-neck tee, a fedora, chucks, and some bangles and you are set! Happy 4th and happy barbecuing!

Look One: dress | scarf | belt | bracelets | sandals
Look Two: hat | bangles | sunglasses | converse shoes | v-neck tee (only $8!) | shorts
