Ever noticed how happy people are in warm weather. Instead of hunched over, grumpy looking folks holding their coffee cups as they walk up the street, you have folks with head held high holding iced teas and smoothies, ambling about. With the change of seasons, the nights become shorter, the days become longer. The mood also changes, people are blessed with sunny dispositions. We start laying out in the sun, making brunch reservations -preferably Al fresco - 45 minute wait for the table, sure no problem. The park is littered with picnic lovers, festivals and concert goers rub their hands in glee, the icecream man lines up his truck with all sorts of cones and creams, it his money making season. John Steinbeck once said what is the good of summer if we do not have the cold of winter to appreciate it. Thank you winter, I do appreciate you indeed.

As we speak, I am on the hunt for a few swim suits. Some nice pastel colors, a hat to cover this bald head, and a few basket bags or two. My toes need to be buried in sand and doses of Vitamin D for my skin.

Spring is upon us and with each new season, it's a time for to reflect on well, new things. New challenges to work on, new perspectives to evaluate, recalculate our plans, and reroute some strategies. Solstice gurus and horoscope folks believe that each new season is also a time for new beginnings in our lives. A time to look at ourselves inwardly and re-kindle our inner fire.

Well, it's lit baby, sun, weather, my outfit, mood!! My inner fire is blazing!!

Layered this gorgeous summer dress with a graphic print shirt I designed. It's been waiting to make a debut. Like the clouds, every outfit has a silver lining, I placed them on my feet.
