Beat the Heat - Favorite Summer Skirt


I am typically not the type of person to wear dresses or skirts unless, say, I am going to church or a wedding reception. In fact, when I was growing up, getting dressed up was almost like a chore, I truly despised it. Every week when my family returned home from church I would race into my room and immediately throw on a pair of pants or shorts.

Now that I'm older and have matured just a little bit, I am realizing that skirts are not so bad. Plus, if its anything above 85 degrees outside (which it is well over that ever single day here in NM) a nice airy skirt is a great way to "beat the heat."

I found this lovely cream lace skirt at a boutique in Colorado on our little family trip, 4th of July weekend. I normally only window shop at boutiques (because I can't fathom the price tags) but this one happened to be on sale for $25...not to bad especially considering I have already worn it about 10 times!

Here I am proving you can do just about anything in a skirt...even ride the Alpine Slides!

Do you have a favorite summer skirt or something you typically wear to keep cool?

    What a beautiful, versatile skirt! I can see why you snapped it up:)
    Regarding the watermelon cookies on a stick(I don't see your email)...I roll them a bit thicker to accomodate the stick which seems to help it hold better.
