thrifted sweater (similar here and here), Xhilaration jeans from 2008 (similar), and Jeffrey Campbell boots (in black)
After about fifteen months of hunting for a secondhand flag print sweater, this gem of a thrift store discovery ended my search. Cheers to persistence. I finally found one that was in my size range and free of wear and tear. It reignited my desire to wear the classic trio of red, white, and blue, and it makes an obvious complement to the red ankle boots that are practically stuck to my feet these days. Despite the predictable inclination to wear the sweater on holidays such as the 4th of July, it will get much more wear on any old day of the year.

I am happy you finally found your sweater! This will be great for the 4th and any other day you decided to wear it. Love your jeans that you paired with them, you look like you should be in a magazine! :)

What a fantastic find!! I too have been looking for American Flag apparel (in a summer version though), but I haven't found anything yet. I seriously love those boots and the jeans. I didn't know Target made jeans like that. I must have missed them. You look great Melissa! <3
