SUMMER DROP WAIST DRESS
When my children were still in school, I used to dread the end of summer. I loved the low key pace of it, and the thought of Parent’s Night looming made me cringe! Now that they are grown, I can’t wait for Fall! Which brings me to, why I am wearing a dress and not jeans! It’s just been way too hot!
I was shopping with my friend, Allison, who doesn’t understand why I won’t wear shorts or dresses when it is sweltering outside. First of all… shorts (unless I am walking or at the beach), NO! A shorter dress, MAYBE. Why am I so weird, you might ask? We all have something we don’t like about ourselves. I just happen to really not like my legs! And, the older I’ve gotten, the more I feel that way! The knees are not pretty. I remember seeing a photo of Demi Moore in a short skirt about ten years ago. It was in a “trash” magazine (my favorite kind!), and they had a photo of her knee zoomed in. Does anyone remember this picture? This is what mine look like too! I think she did have a knee lift, BTW. Anyway, I should just get over it, and be happy that I have healthy legs that work!
I bought this summery drop waist dress ($119) on the shopping day mentioned above. It’s cute, swingy and cool, plus, I liked the detail at the neckline. It’s nice to have a dress you can throw on and go, especially when it is so hot outside. I was thinking ahead about September and October, and how cute this will be with booties (with or without tights) and a leather jacket. Or…now with a denim jacket. What are your thoughts on shorts and knees???
Have a great Wednesday! xx

no more shorts for me except at the beach. Then I don’t care. No one knows me there!! It’s really hard to find a dress this summer that isn’t too far above the knee for me. I bought leggings, but, talk about HOT! So, i’m about to the point of “move on”. Cute dress you have . not too short . knees….Great!

Nothing wrong with your knees, seriously. I’d have your legs any day. Mine truly are ugly as they are not straight. Sometimes I do not give a damn and wear skirts but then I see a photo of myself and it makes me so sad that my legs are so not pretty. I’d give anything for a great pair of pins as I’d love to wear skirts and dresses but I just have to accept facts. Anyway, as you say as long as they work that is the main thing.

Lisa! Thank you so much! Isn’t it funny how we all have something that we don’t like or would trade about ourselves? I hear you sister!!! I say wear the skirts, and slap some self tanner on! Thank you so much for reading and the comment! xoxo
