The colors of the 4th of July. The colors of our flag. The stripes represent the original 13 Colonies and the stars represent the 50 states of the Union. The colors of the flag are symbolic as well; red symbolizes hardiness and valor, white symbolizes purity and innocence, and blue represents vigilance, perseverance and justice. What this holiday commemorates is the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, by delegates from the 13 colonies. On the 4th, the Continental Congress approved the final wording of the Declaration of Independence. This is the day we celebrate the birth of the United States of America.

I just know that we have the ability to create change, sometimes it’s long and arduous and sometimes it's within our own little community that we can make a difference. Whatever the case, we must be grateful for the freedoms we do have and keep fighting for the ones that are important to us. If there is one thing I know about us, as American people, we care and we love and we give it our all for things that truly matter to us. In the days to come, lets keep those fireworks lighting inside us! We are in this together, remember? As I type this, I listen to The Star Spangled Banner. It makes me tear up every time. Every game, every time we sing it, it grabs us by the heart strings for some reason. I believe deep down it reminds us of the beginning of our independence and that my friends, is always worth fighting for and getting emotional about!

So what are you doing this weekend? You never know how 4th of July is gonna go around here, and especially with this weird Year Without a Spring we’ve had so far. After two years with few big public events, Seattle-area communities seem eager to celebrate the Fourth of July in style for 2022. We celebrate July 4th here with fireworks, parades, backyard BBQ, fairs, baseball games, shopping for great deals, or enjoying a nice evening out with friends and family. However we choose to celebrate 4th of July, we do so by honoring the the founders of our great nation.

What’s new this week at Meadow Boutique? We do have the colors, red, white and blue if you want to get patriotic with your fashion!

LUSH with some cute summery, fun dresses. Perfect for Summer weather. So colorful and sassy. SPACE 46 with blue skirts, shorts and dresses. CIELO with some Summer weight sweaters, oh so cute over that sleeveless dress in the evening. JUST BLACK DENIM with another new pair of jeans! SNEAK PEEK with a light wash bell bottoms just like the 70's.

With all that is happening in the world, we sometimes may feel displaced. Spending time with like-minded individuals you can talk to and share your opinions will relieve that stress. We are people who care and love and want what’s best for our country, so standing up for what we believe is important and remembering that change is always possible. Change starts within each of us, so stop by and pick up your weekend outfit! Like I said, we have red, white and blue on our racks and many other trendy pieces that you might want to pick up. You are going to need warm weather clothing! I promise. We are here for you and look forward to seeing you. We wish you all an amazing weekend! xoxoxo
