there was a technical glitch on the blog yesterday. an entire post went AWOL! but my crack tech team resolved the issue, although i did pour a generous glass of wine in the midst of figuring things out. never a dull moment when it comes to blogging. so it’s back to business today with a new ootd (outfit of the day) i think you’re gonna like!
it’s all about shorts stories today; when the temps heat up it’s time to cool down. one of my favorite ways to do just that is with a pair of shorts. wear shorts, you ask? yes ma’am. i indeed love to wear shorts on a hot summer day. shorts can be a controversial topic for women of a certain age, but i have been and continue to be an advocate for them. so much so that not wearing shorts makes my #2 style rule every woman should break.
