July is all about sunshine, salty air, and days by the water, so this month’s party theme is Boat Parade. Inspired by the sparkling shades of the sea and beautiful boats, this theme is filled with breezy blues, coastal charm, and laid-back summer fun. It’s the perfect way to celebrate the season before summer sails away.
Here’s a rundown of some of my favorite Boat Parade-Inspired finds:
Saltwater, Seashells, and Sunshine T-shirt– I’ve already worn this T-shirt so many times this month. It pairs perfectly with jean shorts and makes the perfect outfit for a day by the dock.

Anchor and Birds T-shirt– If you picked up the first T-shirt, this is its Boat Parade cousin. Swap your jean shorts for white ones, and you’re all set for a day on the water.

Drop it Like it’s Yacht T-shirt: Who doesn’t love a good pun? This one is fantastic and goes perfectly with the hat and glasses below it.


Boat Parade Photo Props: Have a little fun and snap some Instagram-worthy pics this July. These boat parade props make for the best photos.

White Summer Sundress: Simple, timeless, and so pretty. It’s perfect over a swimsuit or for a relaxing day by the water.

Headbands: Another favorite I’ve been wearing all summer is these cloth headbands. The blue shades pair perfectly with both T-shirts, and the one below has a patriotic look that’s perfect all summer long.



Boat Parade Earrings: For a little extra touch, these earrings are the perfect mix of blue and gold. They’re cute, themed, and even better because they’re so inexpensive.


Eyeliner: I can’t say enough good things about these eyeliners. They glide on so easily and the color really stands out. I like wearing them over my regular eyeliner for an extra pop of color.





Sunglasses: My daughter picked out these sunglasses, and they’re the perfect mix of stylish, yacht-worthy fun. They have a retro feel that makes them easy to pair with just about any summer outfit.


Clutch: This purse is small enough to grab right before you head out on the boat. It fits your lip gloss, sunglasses, and phone, while the gold chain adds just the right touch of fancy to the woven design.


Hint, hint: Next month’s theme is bringing together back-to-school season with a little extra girly fun. I can’t wait to share it with you!
