Memorial Day is Monday, May 28 of next week and Independence Day is just around the corner, we women have even more chances to strut our stuff in some fire engine red heels inspired by a sense of national pride.
I might be a little too far on the south side of 40 to go out dressed in these outfits, but that doesn’t mean I don’t just love a women’s costume with a gorgeous silhouette. If you got it, flaunt it, right ladies? In fact, some people might argue that it is your patriotic duty to look like your inner hottie. Just check out this “Little Firecracker” costume that you can wear to that backyard dress-up barbecue you’re going to throw.
Besides, if you are careful, you can find a flirty patriotic costume that’ll be just right for you. Women who are more conservative can don any red-white-and-blue outfit to get in the spirit of the occasion. If you look, many costume retailers have sequined blouses that would go great with those Uncle Sam style hats.
If you are young and want to make an impression, there are darling soldier’s uniform dresses, the Statue of Liberty, and sailor costumes galore. If you happen to be have a friend who served our country, why not dress up and pay them a U.S.O. style visit? If you know of older Veterans who are alone on the holidays, a cute woman in patriotic costume can certainly lift their spirits.
Dressing up can be a display of national pride, and why not make this year’s patriotic holidays as memorable as possible?
Happy holidays!
