Have you seen those new H&M commercials that say “Summer Stars Now”? The obnoxious nitpicker in me wants to respond, “actually, the summer solstice occurs on June 21.” *pushes glasses up bridge of nose* But I guess there are other ways to measure the beginning of summer. If you’re a kid (or a teacher), summer starts at 3:30 on the last day of school. A lot of people consider Memorial Day the unofficial start of summer. Maybe summer starts on the first 80-degree day, or the first time you eat ice cream outside. The new rule is: there is no rule. Summer starts when you want it to start.

For me, I think summer started this week. It’s been near 80 for multiple days in a row, and I’ve recently added new floral prints and bright colors to my closet, including this super happy almost-red coral blouse from…guess where? H&M of course. 🙂

Now back to your regularly scheduled outfit.

Man, was last weekend beautiful. It was so beautiful, I decided to make an effort to do something outside that I’ve never done before. Even though I live in a big city with lots of things to do, I tend to repeat a few favorites. So last Saturday I actually went just outside the city to Traders Point Creamery. Unfortunately I missed the window for tours, but the ice cream bar was still open, and let’s be honest – that’s more important.

After I scarfed down some fresh, farm-made caramel ice cream, I got to see the cows getting milked! While the aroma was less than appetizing (I’m glad I ate first), I was glad to see that the cows were treated very nicely, and they even had some good background music. I guess all that “eat local” crap isn’t crap after all 😉

I was probably a little overdressed for a farm, but overalls aren’t really my jam. Plus I only have so many opportunities to bare my newly-chiseled arm muscles in a cute flowy sundress. Sun’s out, guns out!
