summer solstice...






 i'm living vicariously through the lovely closets of etsy, on this morning of the solstice... imagining throwing open the closet doors in the mornings, in giddy anticipation of the pretty dresses awaiting me for the new day.  so, today i'm sharing a bit of a bonus shopping list for the week

as the summer season approaches each year, i look forward to tossing aside the pants and pulling on the dresses (here in hot and humid atlanta, this occurred several months ago!).  while summer shorts come in handy for certain adventures, i admit to taking advantage of wearing breezy slip on dresses, jumpers, and skirts as often as possible throughout the sultry months

and a no-hassle, one-piece, slip-on, molds-to-your-body-in-all-the-right-places (while still allowing a comfortable amount of room for my stomach to enjoy all the abundant deliciousness of summer produce) kind of dress just makes me step through my day with a bit more cheer

the only draw back of these skin baring clothes is that i tend to be too self critical of my body (i guess so many of us are).  and, of course, there is also the fact that i really hate to exercise in any form that does not unknowingly sneak in while i'm distracted by some fun adventure

 but this year i'm making the decision to concentrate on the parts of my body that i do like, and i'm learning to love them, and i'm allowing myself a bit of confidence in showcasing those parts... why not!  i imagine looking back at my body through the eyes of my future self, helping me to see how silly my physical insecurities really are

so, off i wander to enjoy the delightfulness of pretty summer wares!
