I originally bought this blouse specifically for a Fourth of July family barbecue, but I find myself wearing it all summer long! The linen-like material is incredibly breathable and lightweight without being see-through, which is always a worry with white tops. The cascading red and blue stars are perfectly patriotic but subtle enough for everyday wear. The three-quarter puffed sleeves are very flattering on my arms, and the v-neck drops at just the right spot. I have washed it twice on cold and hung it to dry, and it still looks brand new.
