A letter to summer

August 31, 2010

Dear summer,

Like Sarah mentioned yesterday, I’m getting a little tired of you. Is it really necessary to be more than 90 degrees out when tomorrow is September? My maxi dress has seen the light of day too many times. I’m over having to worry about my bikini line. And the bug bites? Don’t even get me started.

I’m ready for less this:

Seriously, not a good look for anyone.

Seriously, not a good look for anyone.

And more this.

Pumpkins! YESSSS!

Pumpkins! YESSSS!

So I can wear this.

Because, you know, if it's pumpkin time, it's probably (HOPEFULLY) jacket time. And I loves me a good fall jacket.

Is that too much to ask?

Love,
Becky

    It’s actually from Old Navy (last year, maybe?) and it’s SUPER cute. I did a little digging, though, and found a similar one at Target:

    It comes in some really fun colors, too – bright green, kind of an electric blue. I kinda have a crush on the blue one… 🙂

    Here are some more fun ones to consider:
