Congratulations to our Kika scarf winner: Comment #10, Amy B. Thanks everyone for commenting. I’ve been asked how I choose the winners. I have a very scientific method: I ask an impartial person who has not read the comments or names to pick a number. If a number chosen has been a recent winner, I would choose again. So far that has not happened. Until my readership and comments increase, your chances for winning are great so keep the comments coming.
It is June! You would not know it in the great Northwest. We are used to rain, but the month of May has almost been unbearable. If you sign up to live here, you just know that rain must be tolerated for certain months so we can be known as the Evergreen state. We also have grown accustomed to “living with it” because the months ahead make living here worthwhile. From mid-June through October, it is one of the best places in the country. 75- 80 degrees, no humidity, rivers, mountains and the ocean an hour away. We pay a price and this year that price is big. Comments about boats and arks are all over Facebook, the weather forecasters have never seen anything like it and everywhere you go people are complaining about the rain! The 10-day forecast looks promising; we can only hope.
June is known for Graduations, Weddings and Travel. I will cover these topics with a fashion perspective in the weeks ahead. First up: Graduation. My oldest son is graduating from high school next week. It’s an exciting and busy time at our house. We have family coming from out of town. I’m the co-chair of the all night party(yes I must stay up until 5 am) and we are hosting an outdoor party two days later for family and friends.
I worked fashion into a Mother’s Day post. That was relatively easy. Fashion tips for a graduation ceremony in an outdoor stadium in unseasonably cool weather may be more of a challenge. I will do my best and post pictures of course!
A week later I have a wedding to attend and will take note of what women are wearing this year.
I’ve been helping several clients pack for trips and will share that as well. And I haven’t forgotten: Swimsuits! I’m doing the research and will hopefully have the post ready soon.
And in between all of this valuable info, I have a Giveaway from a local shoe store and possibly several others which are in the works. I’ll work hard to keep on schedule and bring you great tips. Let me know if you have a request. Happy June!
