Fringe theater festivals are good for many things: an excuse to get out of the house, see interesting dance and theater, feel all the feelings, watch your friends perform drunk Shakespeare…the list goes on.

But an often overlooked bonus: fringe festivals are a good excuse to get new fringed accessories to wear as a subtle nod to the occasion. Not enough people take advantage of this opportunity. (Actually, not enough people take advantage of Indy Fringe either. So if you live around here, go check it out!)

I’m really digging the weather we’ve had the past few days. It still feels like summer, but it’s been cooler and less humid. It’s like fall’s on the other side of a locked sliding glass door, waving and yelling “hey! let me in!” and I’m like “how about I open this just a crack?” I think it’s a good compromise for now. I’ve got some more summering to do (like a wine festival and an outdoor concert this weekend, and a beach vacation next month), but I also enjoy not sweating within 7 seconds of walking outside.

So here’s to Augustember, a name for the pre-fall season that I just made up. Wondering what to wear for Augustember? I personally recommend a long sleeve maxi dress with flat sandals. When actual fall comes around, keep the dress and stow the sandals!
