Happy hump day, friends! I’ve got some more 4th of July outfit inspiration for you today. I’m styling two casual looks from Nordstrom.

If you opt for store pickup, there’s still time to order for the weekend, if you see something here you like. Otherwise, these pieces can be worn anytime this summer, and even into the fall.

This first look is for those who really want to look festive for the Fourth. There’s no denying the Americana theme here, and I like how the red stripes gives a nod to the  flag… or maybe I should say a salute!

I’ve had some requests for summer tops with sleeves, and this tie-sleeve tee is a good option for that. It’s very lightweight and comfortable, but the sleeves come almost to the elbow with a cute little tie detail for added interest.

The overall fit is a bit oversized, so it’s nice for those who don’t like their tops too form-fitting. I’m wearing my true size small, but I wonder if I’d prefer the fit of the XS. All that to say, go with your gut on this one. If you like a closer fit, you may want to size down.

I picked up these jeans because I’m enjoying kick flares recently, and I wanted to find a more affordable pair to share with you. I like the deep indigo wash with this top — it really makes the perfect flag-inspired look. They also happen to be 40% off right now!

I’m wearing the size 8 because I was shopping in-store, and they didn’t have the 6. They fit okay at first, but this brand does stretch out a little with wear, so I recommend going with your true size if ordering.

They have a really fun slit hem, and the 26″ inseam is the perfect crop length.

Fit Tip: The hem of your crop jeans and pants should hit several inches above the ankle bone, but below the widest part of your calf.

And how fun are these braided slides? In the natural color, they have a nautical vibe that plays nicely with the Americana theme I’ve got going on here. They’re a great price, too. Of course, red nail polish seals the deal.

My top, jeans, and slides are all from Nordstrom Made brands, so you get a lot of bang for your buck. Everything is priced really well for these quality basics.

To complete the look, I added these white seed beed drop earrings and a woven straw tote. I’m really liking straw bags this season. They take any outfit and make it seem lighter and more summery.

This tote is really nice quality, with an interior lining and pockets, and it folds down flat for easy packing. It would make a great beach bag or carryall.

I love the whimsical sayings — there are other options in this brand, if Tan Lines doesn’t resonate.

I also styled a second look that’s a little more casual — an elevated athleisure look for the 4th. This romper is from one of my favorite activewear brands, and another Nordstrom made brand, Zella.

I appreciate the bra-friendly straps and the way it’s cut around the arms and through the chest. The elasticized waist offers some structure, and the tie is a contrasting white and blue stripe.

This shade of blue is really pretty, but it also comes in a few other options. It runs true to size; I’m in my usual size small.

So many jumpsuits are full-length with the banded hem, but this cropped length and the split hem is perfect for summer, and it offers some leg coverage for those who like that. If you prefer shorts, Zella also has this option.

I paired this blue romper with white puffy slides — the sporty style works well with this casual look, and of course my red nail polish keeps it festive.

My straw tote brings a little whimsy to this athleisure vibe, or this Nordstrom Made straw backpack would be really cute as well.

I hope these outfits give you some summer style inspiration, whether you’re looking to refresh your closet or grab a festive 4th of July look.
