Patriotic outfit idea for the 4th of July

outfit ideas 4th of july

4th of July outfit idea: USA Tee / red statement earrings / blue nail polish / denim shorts / straw tote (customizable) / blue and white stripe espadrilles /

The 4th of July is fast approaching, this is the perfect time to assemble your patriotic outfit for watching parades, attending BBQ’s and showing off your USA pride. Love that!

Chances are, you already own denim shorts, but if not, this pair is really cute and available in a couple different washes. These espadrilles are comfy and patriotic. Love those stripes!

Of course, blue nail polish is perfect at any time, especially when we are celebrating our country. This is my favorite bottle.

We all need a USA tee! This one comes in a few different color combos and style. This style is my favorite. Love it!

Japanese Friendship Garden San Jose

wearing: statement earrings / navy tee / summer nail polish / gemstone bead bracelets / wide leg jeans / shoulder bag / sneakers /

Did you know San Jose has a Japanese Friendship Garden? The best part? It’s free! Love that!

Nestled into Kelley Park and across from Excite Stadium, the Japanese Friendship Garden offers well maintained gardens, a calm pathway, and lots of Koi! The only drawback is that there is a problem with the large pond, so it has been drained for several years. Fingers crossed San Jose finds a way to fix it!

This is a fabulous place to go if you want an easy outdoor walk instead of a gym day, or you need a peaceful activity to relieve stress. If you are local to the San Francisco Bay Area, I highly recommend taking a moment to visit for a peaceful walk; just be prepared for the empty pond.

You can always make a day of it and also visit History San Jose as well as the Portuguese History Museum since they are all on the same, large block on Senter Road.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy this summer activity idea!

Moulin Rouge! A Sparkling Soiree

wearing: statement earrings / white cardigan / black tee / summer nail polish / east/west bag / black wide leg pants / boots (old, similar here) /

Moulin Rouge is coming to Broadway San Jose July 8, 2025. Get excited!

In order to kick off this exciting show coming to Broadway San Jose, they held A Sparkling Soiree to celebrate Moulin Rouge taking the stage in San Jose. Held at Left Bank Santana Row, this French, circus themed event included a signature drink, heavy appetizers, cookies, and fun! It was nice to meet those working on the show as well as fellow theater goers interested in helping to promote the event.

As you know, Moulin Rouge is a famous Broadway show which has won numerous awards and also has an award winning cast and crew. I am really excited to see the show in July!

Broadway San Jose hosts traveling Broadway Shows at the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts. This is a cool, mid-century modern venue with comfortable seats, amazing acoustics, and close proximity to plenty of parking and delicious restaurants. Attending a show with Broadway San Jose makes for the perfect night out! I highly recommend it.

So, if you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, or you plan to visit, be sure to catch Moulin Rouge July 8-13, 2025. Or, catch one or more of the other shows coming to San Jose this summer and next season!

You can learn more at BroadwaySanJose.com.

Can’t wait for to see Moulin Rouge! I hope you see it too!

Thanks for stopping by
