It’s that time of year again: slip on your sandals, head to the beach, and passionately belt out Springsteen’s “Born in the USA,” (actual meaning aside) because the 4th of July is tomorrow!

While we’ve already done a post on red, white, and blue outfits for the fourth, if you’d rather go for something less holiday-themed, we’ve got you covered. Below, we’ve compiled four cute non-red, white, and blue outfits under $100 for all of your July 4th festivities.

Barbecue – $99.34

Fourth of July outfit 1: Striped dress, tie sandals, belt, earrings
Product Information: Dress – Modcloth, Earrings – Forever 21, Shoes – ASOS, Belt – Mango

Perhaps the most traditional form of celebration of the Fourth, a barbecue requires a cute dress, comfy sandals, and charming accessories. We love this striped pick from Modcloth, especially when belted at the waist and accessorized with pretty earrings and dainty ankle-wrap sandals in a matching shade.

Day at the Lake – $91.98

4th of July outfit 2: White shorts, bikini top, crop top, sandals
Bikini Top – Topshop, Tee – Topshop, Sandals – Modcloth, Shorts – Charlotte Russe

If you’re hitting the road this week, the perfect beach or lake look is simple. A bustier swimsuit top will be your go-to, but be sure to take a flowy tee to throw on over the top for the evening. High-waisted shorts add a bit of retro style, while bold sandals add contrast.

Parade – $99.98

Fourth of July outfit 3: Pink romper, ankle booties, necklace, cross-body bag
Product Information: Romper – ASOS, Shoes – Tilly’s, Bag – Wet Seal, Bracelet – Forever 21

The parade is my personal favorite 4th of July activity, mostly because of all of the free candy. If your plans take you to a parade, farmer’s market, picnic, or festival, throw on a romper. One of the most underrated summer pieces, the romper keeps you cool in the heat and looks adorable. Pair it with booties and a cross-body bag, and you’re dressed perfectly to cheer on the local high school band.

Fireworks Show – $99.70

Fourth of July Outfit 4: Pink jeans, basic sneakers, chambray shirt, statement necklace
Product Information: Top – Forever 21, Jeans – H&M, Necklace – Zara, Shoes – Endless

No Fourth of July would be complete without a local fireworks show. Casual is definitely the way to go, in an all-American chambray top with colored jeans. Since you may be climbing through the baseball pitch to find your friends, stick sneakers as opposed to heels. For a touch of glam, add a neon necklace. (Neon + chambray = winning!)

What are you wearing this 4th of July?

    Love these. I usually wear blue and white because I do not have any red clothes, but I love these nontraditional outfits for the holiday.

    For this 4th of July i’m wearing something cute, casual, comfortable, and a little bit Western as i’m celebrating America’s birthday in Wyoming. I’m pairing classic Ariat cowboy boots like this (http://www.ariat.com/Western/Women/Footwear/CowboyBoots/LegendTall.html?color=YUKON_BROWN)
    With DIY Free People flag shorts i found the link to on this website (http://blog.freepeople.com/2012/06/american-flag-shorts-diy/) and a cream, crochet tank from Urban Outiftters on top similar to this one (http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=24637985&color=010&color=010&itemdescription=true&navAction=jump&search=true&isProduct=true&parentid=SEARCH+RESULTS).
