Whenever I try to wear red, white, and blue, I always end up overpowering the white with yellow.  Because, as I once said to a fellow (bewildered) preschooler, no drawing is complete without sunshine.  And what's an outfit, after all, if not a 3D illustration?  So, I added a shot of vitamin D -- and C! -- to my Fourth of July fits.  I carried my lemon wedge bag to Smithville on the actual holiday, then my rainbow-chain, yellow bag to the family BBQ later that weekend.  It definitely boosted my mood.  Even if I did drop a dollop of sunscreen on the lemon on its inaugural outing.

Still, safety first, am I right?  Because despite being cheerful, the sun will burn you to a crisp. 😏🌞

Certainly patriotic colors throughout this post. I love Charlotte's outfit and you look great in all your red- white- and blues outfits. The yellow is a nice contrast.Hope the sunscreen came out of the lemon bag. How fun to go to Smithville Inn. A wonderful place for the holiday weekend!

Your outfits are so beautiful!! Your first outfit pops so beautifully against the background. The photos of Smithville are so picturesque, and I totally love the rainbow hat with the avocado necklace. Lastly, your family photo is so adorable! You're so right when you said that "no drawing is complete without sunshine." The yellow definitely adds the pop of sun to the festive look! ☀️πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
