Cool for the Summer

Summer Fashion

Fall is probably my favorite season. Just like every other person who has stepped into a Bath and Body Works store after August or sipped on a Pumpkin Spice Latte. But I am an Illinois girl living in a seasonless Florida world, and I find myself jonesing HARD for real Fall weather every year. It almost makes it my least favorite season. ha! Let’s not even talk about winterless holidays….

But holy-jump-the-gun-Batman! It is still summer!

I realize that everyone else in the blogging/fashion world is ready to move on… but I’m not quite ready to put away the white shorts, neons, and {pretend} that it’s Fall here in the Sunshine State.

Sidenote: I was originally slightly weirded out by this backwards looking shirt style, but it grew on me. Go figure.

Let’s be real…this far south we’ve got a good couple of months left of smoldering summer heat.

Also, it’s perfectly acceptable to walk around barefoot in the summer, yes? Or that’s kind of a southern staple right? How about chewing on green plastic bowling pins?? Seriously, what is happening here?

Oh, that’s better. Pictures always look better when my kids are in them. 😉

I can’t wait for Autumn either… trust me. But we’ve got a few more weeks to keep it “cool for tha summer.” 😉

What do you think? Are you done with summer or trying to savor it just a bit longer?

    Your entire outfit is lovely!! I think my fav thing to wear during summer is white. Though I don’t have any white shorts, what the hey! 🙂

    I agree! I’m not ready to write off summer just yet. I’m going to enjoy it for as long as I can. Those shorts aren’t going in the closet until they absolutely have to. Fun outfit! Those shirts are really popular now. I still have a few pounds to lose before I’d feel comfortable in it, but there is still plenty of summer left to do that. 😉

      Oh girl, get on board with the high waisted trend, does wonders for the waistline. 😉 And I’m usually the first one to welcome Fall but for some reason I’m not ready this year!
