Strawberry Picking

maxi dress | Jone’s Strawberry Farm in Connecticut

4th of July is a HUGE deal in our town. We have a local parade, pie contests, fireworks at the beach and of course lots of barbecuing. I always make my favorite strawberry pie to share. This year I planned it out and made a road trip to the farm with my girlfriends and our kids. I wanted fresh strawberries for my pies this year. They are so easy to freeze and use as needed. My girlfriends drove out from New York City to stay a couple days at my house. We stayed up way too late and made all sorts of amazingness with our strawberries. I can’t wait for the 4th this year with all my fresh strawberries to share.

You know when you go strawberry picking, everyone must coordinate outfits or at least have a cute summer dress on! I chose this pretty print maxi dress by ModCloth. It’s lightweight and perfect for summer outings. I love all the fun prints for summer that they offer. The dresses are easy to wear and completely effortless. You’ll feel like a million bucks the second you put it on.  I need summer dresses I can wake up and throw on. I don’t want to even think about putting an outfit together. The dress makes enough of a statement by itself. They are the perfect dresses for outdoor bbq’s and summer activities. I found this dress and fell in love within seconds. I mean, with a name like “Central Park Processional” it was meant to be. I’ll wear it during date night in the park next week. The dresses stand out and you won’t see other people walking around with the same print as you.

I have my eye on this dress for 4th of July. How cute are the pinstripes! You can even dress it up if you want with a white blazer. Or this patriotic top is beyond adorable with cut off jeans.  I love that they stand out and are completely unique. I definitely know I’ll be wearing red, white and blue. It’s one of my favorite holidays of the year. What are you up to for the 4th of July? I can’t believe it’s in a couple of weeks!
