July 4th Fashion

Are you fashionably ready for your 4th of July celebration?

If you are looking for some red, white and blue fashion tip, the Ex-cessories gals have you covered!

4th of July fashion on a budget:
Since most of us own a pair of white jeans, we recommend using your already owned white jeans as your 4th of July wardrobe base.

Add a pop of red with Gap's print crochet necklace top in red (pictured below) - $41.96, click here.
For a more casual look that not only fulfills the blue and white 4th look, but also the hot stripe trend, Banana Republic's striped ruffle racerback tank (pictured below) - $39.50, click here.
Add a great pair of flats or wedges to your wardrobe and accessorize accordingly.

Hello Monday!

We try to start Mondays off with a well-balanced energizing breakfast. We need motivation and fuel to get through the busy day. We try to start every Monday with overnight oats.

There is no cooking involved in overnight oats! We prepare them on Sunday night so we have breakfast waiting for us on Monday morning.

We recommend this recipe:
* 1/3 cup regular oats
* 3/4 cup almond milk
* 2 tablespoons chia seeds
* 1 tiny ripe banana, peeled and smashed
* 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Mix together in a bowl and place the bowl in the refrigerator overnight.

In the morning add 1 tablespoon of almond butter or
peanut butter and a little maple syrup.
Stir and enjoy!
