Classic Americana

For this week's Flashback Friday, we are traveling way back in time. All the way back to July 4, 1776 to be exact. To refresh your memories, this was the day that America declared independence from Great Britain and also the day that the Declaration of Independence was adopted. From this day forward, America only continued to grow and strengthen. Over 200 years later, Americans continue to celebrate this occasion and show their American pride.

This summer has seen a lot of that American pride. American flags and red, white, and blue apparel has been a popular trend and we at LotYaC have "jumped on the bandwagon". In honor of the upcoming July 4th holiday, here are our favorite ways to embrace patriotic patterns!
