My Doodle Days: Fare Thee Well Summer

Nothing says Summer quite like red and white stripes, at least in my mind. For those of you who know me personally, you know I'm a big BIG fan of dresses and skirts. Not just in the summer, but year round. I have no qualms about wearing a short skirt in winter time. Obviously I wear them with tall boots, I retire my sandals in the winter... for the most part. I'm one of those people that as long as my hands and feet are toasty warm, the rest of me stays.... well, fairly warm. The sacrifices women make for fashion... aye yai yai.

Anywho! This little doodle reminds me of a hot July day by the lake with family, soaking up the sun, drinking a nice cold glass of iced tea, eating some watermelon and savoring every ounce of those small breezes. I don't think I've ever hung out by a lake doing all of the above in my short 26 years... but there's still time to do it AND make a dress like this.

This is my adieu to Summer (albeit a tad late) and my open arm welcome to Fall. I'm ready for sweater weather people! Not to mention piles of blankets, hot cocoa, pine cones dipped in cinnamon scent, and snuggling on the couch. Mmm.

Enjoi!

Cheerio!
