I don’t know about you guys, but I still find gifts special even when I pick them out myself. On my birthday, I asked Kristin to take me shopping and let me pick out something at J. Crew. I had a few things in mind, tried them all on and did a mini fashion show, then Kristin helped me pick out what I should get! She picked this skirt, and I must say she has excellent taste. I mean, I do look pretty adorable in it. 😉

Even though this skirt was far from a surprise, I will always remember it was a gift from my favorite human (if only because I just wrote a blog post about it). Just like the human, the skirt is fun, playful, colorful, and perfect for every season! And yes, I will take that as a personal challenge to remix this skirt for fall, winter, and spring. Stay tuned.

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!
