If you’re Canadian (and even if you’re not), I’m sure you’re aware that Canada’s 150th birthday is just around the corner. That’s a huge milestone!
Between Canada’s upcoming birthday (and the current state of the world), I’ve been feeling a lot more patriotic lately. It seems like a lot of people have been feeling the same. We may no longer have Target or Chobani yogurt in Canada (*single tear*), but that doesn’t make me any less proud to be Canadian.
While I still haven’t solidified my plans for Canada Day, I know that whatever I end up doing, I’ll be wearing a Canadian-themed outfit. In all honesty, I’d feel like a total loser if I didn’t embrace it. Thankfully, Canada Day fashion and accessories are plentiful this year!
As you can probably tell from the types of outfits that I typically share here on the blog, red isn’t really my colour. (Actually, colour in general isn’t really my thing.) I feel my best in neutrals like this, but that’s not to say that that I don’t wear colours from time to time. For instance, I love this red striped dress from last summer, as well as this burnt orange sweater.
Considering how infrequently I wear red, I wanted to buy something new, but didn’t want to break the bank. Well, friends – that’s why I love Amazon.ca so much! As you can imagine, Amazon.ca has tons of Canada Day merchandise – including fashion pieces. Yes, that’s right – they have a devoted Canada 150 section! And of course, there’s still plenty of time left to shop.
I wanted to come up with an outfit that was patriotic, but still in line with my style. Aka – mostly neutral, with just a “pop” of colour. After browsing through some of the available options, I decided that I might be easier (and cheaper) to DIY a Canada Day outfit. I ordered an $8 Hanes T-shirt and an iron-on Canadian flag patch to put on the left chest. I absolutely love how it turned out, and have already worn it a couple of times. In order to amp up the “Canadian” aspect of the outfit, I also ordered a red bandana.
With this outfit, I think I’m ready to ring in Canada’s 150 birthday!
To Re-Cap, Here’s What You Need:
If you don’t want to DIY your Canada Day outfit, I really like this red and white dress, these maple leaf socks and this baseball cap – all from Amazon.ca. PS – They’re all Prime eligible items, so shipping is super fast.
Thank you to Amazon.ca for sponsoring this post. As always, all opinions are my own. (Note that if you decide to click my links and make a purchase, I will earn a small commission. If you do, I really appreciate it :))

Super cute look! I really should go look for a Canada Day outfit mind you! I so rarely wear red but if there’s one day to do it, it’s definitely Canada Day!

Ooh a red bandana is such a great idea for a Canada Day outfit! Love the iron on patch too. I think I need to order some of those for this weekend 🙂
Happy early Canada Day!
