Homemade muscle shirts are exactly what to wear for a hot and fashionable Fourth. I don’t care whether you’re here in the beer tent in Milton, Wisconsin, or not. I don’t care if you didn’t just get done with a softball game. I don’t care about your sundress. This is what to wear for the happiest possible holiday.

Happy contour.

Happy hope.

Happy liberté, égalité, fraternité.

Happy Lite.

Happy love.

Happy sandwich.

Happy band about to start.

Happy Independence Day. Cut off your sleeves and join The Frye in the Milton Beer Tent 3-6 p.m., then at Madison’s Crystal Corner at 10 p.m. Freedom, hope, fraternité, arms. Join us.

There’s a habit you love and it’s holding you back. It might be eyeliner all the way around. It might be the bangs you’ve had since, like, forever. All I can tell you is that whatever it is, the thing you think you need the most, you need it the least.

I get that it feels good in the moment to comb your hair that same way, I really do, but that tiny rush of comfort is a fleeting fix and you don’t need it.

Unless you do. If it’s getting you through a rough time, fine, I’m not going to come over there and grow your bangs out for you. But when you’re ready to quit, really quit. Quit hard. And then get ready to see good things you can’t possibly see right now, not with those bangs in the way.
