I found love for $14.98 on the Target sales rack last week, and I think it's clear why.
In the midst of our hot summer days and a heat wave, it's like wearing Pajamas in public,
which is in one word perfection.
How I love a good Maxi dress in the summer, though I often feel like I'm running out of time to wear them, and this is why I love to hate, and love to hate summer.
Everything happens in the summer, honestly everything.
If you're an anybody do anything, you're probably doing it in the summer.
Read: Weddings, Bachelorette Parties, Bridal Showers, Vacations, Family BBQ's, Babies, and Birthdays. Not even sure why I capitalized every item in the list, it just seemed necessary to make them stand out more. I know better, I promise. So hold on tight, for thirteen busy weekends your life that will feel like they are on fast forward.
If you ask me, the calendar year goes a little something like this January, February is a short month anyway, so why really count it. St. Patrick's Day, then it's April, nothing happens, and boom it's Memorial Day and you blink and summer's gone, and Christmas decor is up in all Target stores.
Though we all claim to love 'layering' our clothes, and 'having a more versatile wardrobe' but who are we really trying to fool. There is not much better than throwing on a pair of cut offs, a tank, and converse or flip flops and heading out the door. There nothing, and I mean nothing more comfortable than a Maxi, and you certainly can't tell me that a rain jacket is a 'cute' accessory.
Now don't be getting all critical on me, because yes I am ski gooroo, so I do, by default and obligation, love winter. But skiing in the sanity that gets me through the winter. You certainly can't sit on your back patio with Strawbertia in hand during the winter, and there is something oddly satisfying and simple about that...something about the sunshine brings out more smiles.
So the fourth of July, to me marks the half way point of summer, which we all know freaks me out because it means I am that much closer to my birthday (I'm about to be a full quarter century) and I'm busy living over here. So damn you summer for being half way gone, and here's to enjoying the second half. I'll be enjoying it in my maxi.
