Maxi skirts and wine: two things I already enjoyed but for which my love grew ever stronger during quarantine. In June we really hit that sweet spot for enjoying a cold beverage outside as the sun sets and it stays warm but not too hot. I know it won’t last forever, but for now I’m going to keep pretending I’m on vacation for half an hour every day.

It’s officially summer, it’s hot as the devil’s butt crack, so naturally I’m sharing this long-sleeve, long-pants, sweater look with you. I’m nothing if not timely and relevant.

This was a few weeks ago when we went to our local farmer’s market (where I wore a mask, not pictured) on a mild Saturday morning. Warm-weather sweaters are actually one of my favorite things about Indiana, compared to North Carolina where I grew up. I might not wear a lot of sweaters between May and August, but there are always a few occasions where a cold front comes through and I need something a little cozy in the morning or evening. And I love it. Bring on the cotton sweaters and cardigans. I will take a slight chill over a 95 degree heat index any day.

I’m assuming at least a few of you feel the same way, and maybe you live in somewhat moderate climates, so this post might actually be somewhat timely and relevant after all. Nailed it.
