What I Wish I Wore: 4th of July

The 4th of July holiday weekend is only weeks away, and this dress caught my eye because I thought the bright red color would be festive to wear to a cookout or an outdoor festival like the Smithsonian Folk Life Festival that is taking place over the weekend in D.C. Because I'm pretty short in real life, I love heels, but I decided that I'd go for comfort with the look above and wear reasonable flat sandals instead of sky-high wedges. I also chose a roomy bag that could easily fit a water bottle, an umbrella in case of summer showers, or a camera to document fun activities for the day.
