Are we there yet? Yes, we are. As of June 21 at 5:04 AM, the summer solstice arrived in full swing, but not without a few false starts. Forecasts for this summer include unprecedented highs, according the Climate Prediction Center. All the indicators are there: poor air quality index, high pollen count, high temperature bands with orange and yellow color ranges across the map of the United States.
I have never been a fan of hot or humid weather. I remember as a child growing up in Philadelphia, summer seemed to last forever. My memories include summer camp, trips to Atlantic CIty, theme parks, picnics, block parties and my Dad’s summer school. I have no recall of summers being hot or humid, perhaps it is the mature phase of my life that prohibits me from enjoying the heat and the hot flashes don’t help either.
Wearing: J.Crew dress, J.Crew Factory sweater, Etsy necklace and Seychelles Sandals
My stay cool thoughts include how to professionally dress and be presentable when making visits to medical offices. Dresses seem to be the easy answer for looking professional and wearing a sweater for those overly air-conditioned offices, hair off face and shoulders is another must. I definitely prefer the new relaxed mode of dressing to not wear pantyhose. SInce I am not the Duchess of Cambridge, I don’t need to adhere to such strict dress code, no one is really going to notice or care that I am not wearing hose.
