Wearing the Red, White and Blue

With Memorial Day just past and the Fourth of July coming up in just over a month, the color combination of red, white and blue is a popular and patriotic theme to work into one's wardrobe here in the U.S. Whether you are looking for that perfect accessory to go with a total red, white and blue ensemble or you just want to add a spot of the color combination to your daily wear, let Eclectic Design Choices help you procure that perfect piece.

My EDCCollective Etsy shop has a few ready to ship red, white and blue accessories. Dangle the red, white and blue from your ears or clip it onto your purse or backpack with a zipper pull. A patriotic necklace for the math geek can be found in my EclecticSkeptic Etsy shop. In addition if you contact me, I would be happy to work up a custom piece of jewelry or patriotic pull to fit your wishes.

If your Fourth of July celebration includes watching a parade, gathering with friends and family for a cook out or enjoying a day on the lake, remember the sun screen. If you live in an area where you get to set off your own fireworks please follow directions, use common sense and have fun.

A Little Patriotic Bling

If you haven't found that perfect red, white and blue accessory for your Fourth of July and Labor Day festivities, I can help. You still have almost two weeks from today to order so that your patriotic bling will arrive in time for the 4th, but don't delay as I only have one of each ready made and ready to ship.

It's the little touches that can really add the wow factor to your patriotic ensemble. From EDCCollective, you can choose from a pair of red, white and blue lampwork bead earrings or a zipper pull. The zipper pull is great to bling up a variety of items from backpacks to belt loops to purses, anything with a loop to clip to. For the math geek, EclecticSkeptic has a red, white and blue pythagorean theorem (right triangle) necklace.

While you are enjoying the holiday festivities and looking good in your red, white and blue please remember to stay hydrated and apply a quality sunscreen so that you will finish the day in as fine a form as you started out.

Wardrobe Colors – They are a Changin

I am writing this as we continue our over two week streak of 100 degree plus days, so it is a little difficult to believe that fall is actually almost here. We are in one of those season changes where it can be difficult to find something to accessorize your outfits with if you find you need something for the current season, especially if you need something for Labor Day that is patriotic but not quite as in your face red, white and blue as you would wear for the Fourth of July.

If you shop with EDCCollective, you will find jewelry with summer and the cooler days of autumn, that surely lie ahead, in mind. Red, white and blue floral motif earrings would be a perfect addition to your Labor Day attire. (These earrings placed first in the EART team July Red, White and Blue Challenge.) There are also rich reds, sunny yellows and terrific turquoise hues available. Remember also, that one advantage of shopping with EDCCollective is that if you don’t see quite what you are looking for, you should ask. Because unlike a department store, what you see is not all of what you can get. I would love to talk with you about a custom design in the colors that you are looking for.

If you are already thinking ahead to your fall wardrobe, you will enjoy browsing with EDCCollective too. I have begun listing items reflecting the hues of the harvest such as these carved bone and picture jasper earth tone earrings.

Enjoy the rest of your summer as you look forward with anticipation to the change of seasons.
