When Independence Day rolls around, it's hard to resist getting a little patriotic. There are plenty of BBQs on the agenda, and you're bound to spot plenty of red, white, or blue swimsuits. In fact, most ladies will likely be sporting a combination of all three shades. But we have to admit — when it comes to July 4, stars and stripes are starting to feel a bit expected.
