Summer Breeze (makes me feel fine)
Mar. 30th, 2026 08:04 pmIt's spring so I've done the yearly deforestation of my legs and today I wore a dress with no tights or leggings, just bare skin.
I felt cute but also it was horrible.
I was constantly afraid the front was going to creep up (I have a very large stomach). My office chair has a mesh seat which I could feel through the skirt, and against the backs of my knees. It was breezy enough out that I had to hold the skirt down so it didn't fly up.
Every spring I resolve to experiment with femininity a bit more, and I lurch headlong toward skirts and dresses and realize anew how inconvenient they are.
I have a knee length navy A-Line skirt that I'm going to wear on Thursday, though, with sheer diamond-patterned navy tights. Assuming it doesn't rain. It's raining on Tuesday, which is also my busy day when I'm literally and figuratively running around, meaning I'm going to wear trousers and sturdy shoes.
I'm remote on Wednesdays so it's a pajama day. Luxury!
It was in the lower 80s today which I want to say is very warm for March but it's really not. We've been having temperature extremes for so long now, even though my benchmark remains my childhood. There's thunderstorms overnight and tomorrow and the temperature's going to drop to the 40s by Wednesday, then back up to the 60s on Thursday. I hate these wild temperature swings! Today was a little glimpse of summer, although not quite as humid, and I was cute.
