4th of July 2019
The 4th of July has always been one of my favorites holidays. Between the time spent with family and patriotic feeling from all of the festivities, there is nothing better than spending the summer celebrating. This year was extra special for a lot of reasons that I will share more about on here later, but for now let me tell you what I did for the 4th of July this year! The day begin with a early trip to set up the 65th wedding anniversary party that we would later be having for my Grandma and Grandpa McFarland. I will be sharing a ton of photos and thoughts on the…

What I Wore for the 4th of July 2019
It was a very eventful 4th of July for my family and I! More on what we did all day will be coming later this week, but today I am sharing what I wore for this very special holiday. I have been loving button up tank tops this summer and this style came in especially handy since the 4th of July was extraordinarily hot the year. This festive button up tank top was a lucky find from Kohl’s. I love how subtle the star print is on this blouse, and the shade of blue is very perfect for this particular patriotic holiday. To style this outfit I worn a classic…

Movie Monday: Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939)
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington is one of my all time favorite films. James Stewart gave a iconic performance in this Frank Capra movie so it only made sense to review this movie on the week of the Fourth of July holiday! This film is full of impactful scenes and deep meanings. Like all Frank Capra movies, there is a deep sentiment of American pride laced within all of the actors lines. What we as an audience see and hear is the “American Dream” embodied in Mr. Smith. Besides the inspiring plot of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (which we will continue reviewing momentarily), the cinematography in the scenes where…

Red, White, & Fabulous!
Similar to my look: Top Shorts This year has absolutely flown by! I can’t believe it was the fourth of July! (Yes, I did mean to rhyme) I decided to sport a tank this year with a pink/red tint to it and a unstructured peplum bottom. Coupled with cutoff, denim shorts and I was ready to roll! It was a rather hot fourth of July this year here in the Midwest, so the sleeveless look kept me as cool as a cucumber. This look works for way more than just the fourth of July, though. It would be a stunning ensemble to a picnic, family outing,…

4th of July 2018
It was one jam-packed fourth of July for my family and I this year! This was the third year in a row that I have walked in the fourth of July parade in Oakwood, Illinois. This year was extra special because it was the first time my Mom and I have had the opportunity to walk alongside our fellow Governor Bradford NSDAR members! Some of the Governor Bradford Chapter NSDAR members getting ready for the parade! We handed out little United States flags to the kids along the parade route. The children would get a little glimmer of excitement in their eye when they saw us coming along to hand out flags. They…

Fran Fine’s Fine Style
For more of Fran Fine’s fashion, follow @whatfranwore on Instagram! *These photos are not mine.* It’s time to reflect on one of my favorite funny ladies: Fran Fine of The Nanny! I know this isn’t a film, but I had to put it in the Classic Cinema section because to me this show is definitely a classic! Even though this show ran throughout the 90’s, Fran Drescher’s style is pretty contemporary. The crop tops, the geometric shapes, the mini skirts, and the many times she wore the complementary color of black. Fran was way ahead of her time in fashion! These photos are not mine. We have seen the fashion industry catchup…

The Gingham Trend
Thank you to my big brother Jacob Sigmon for being my guest model for this post! (Go give him a follow on Twitter and Instagram: @thejacobsigmon) Photos taken by Darla Sigmon (@mcsig96 on Instagram) Similar to Jacob’s look: Shirt Pants Shoes Although it never truly goes out of style, gingham has never been a hotter trend than it is right now! It was a large influence on everything in spring 2018, but it has officially been taken to the next level for the summer. In women’s fashion you can find gingham being made into skirts, shirts, trousers, platform heels, and flats. Anything…
