Yesterday at work I managed to remain relatively cool, calm, and collected while someone (a male someone, of course) told me that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is “frail.” Apparently he saw her in action recently (#jealous) and she was barely visible on the other side of the bench and her voice was very quiet.

In case you, too, are a soft-spoken, diminutive woman and you’re wondering whether you’ll amount to anything in this world full of big, loud men…allow me to draw your attention to a certain Supreme Court justice who can do 20 pushups.

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!
