It’s hot. So hot that my blog is about something completely unrelated to digital media. It’s about summer fashion. Enjoy.

I am a big “rule follower” when it comes to fashion. No white before Easter or after Labor Day. Suede is for Winter, formal parties starting after 6pm mean black tie. I get it. But, in Austin it doesn’t seem fair.

Our summer starts very early and lasts until mid-October. In late July and August it is simply too hot to really wear anything other than shorts, t-shirts and flip-flops. (I know, shudder). This all really hit me this weekend when I looked in the closet at all the linen pants, shirts and seersucker, whit bucs and gingham that I have in my closet that it’s just too hot to wear right now. I hate it because Labor Day is fast approaching and I’ll have to put it all away.

Maybe I’ll issue a edict that until daily temps are consistently below 90 degrees, summer fashion is acceptable. I’ll confront dirty looks from the five people in Austin that even know what I’m violating a rule with righteous indignation.
