Pretty Broke & Fab!: Firework Hot on the 4th!

The Fourth of July is coming up next week, so now is the time to start thinking about how you want to spend it and what you're going to wear. With all of the flag-wear available right now, you may easily go a little overboard. So how do you show your patriotism without looking like your clothes are made by Betsy Ross? What better way to give salute to the freedom of this country than to give nod to some of the icons of America?

The weather's perfect for taking a quick getaway to the beach (if you can). Give props to those pinups who gave support (wink wink*) to all of the troops who have fought for this nation.
