Growing up in the landlocked state of Kansas, one of the highlights of my summers as a child was going to The Lake, especially over the Fourth of July. In my memory, it was always 105 degrees, sweat and sunburn going hand-in-hand. My brother and I swam in muddy water during the day and shot off fireworks at night, finally crashing in a tent at night while listening to The Bangles on the Walkman. My style was virtually nonexistent back then, more utilitarian. Shorts, T-shirts, flip-flops, zinc oxide sunblock in hot pink.
Now that Independence Day means backyard barbecue as opposed to muddy camping, there are more opportunities to be stylish -- and WITHOUT looking like an American flag.
