It’s been a lovely day today. A perfect Pacific Northwest afternoon, M. calls it.

The ideal day to do all the great little things I’ve been putting off, I went for a walk during my lunch break – I haven’t done that in a very long time. It just seemed like such a waste to be sitting indoors staring out forlornly at the sea and mountains.

I did a thirty minute nice leisurely thoughtful walk by the harbour and then came down to Pacific Centre to do a bit of window shopping inspired by the gorgeous summer dresses I’d seen on people.

Almost every summer I promise myself I’d only wear dresses, only to cave in on the fourth or fifth day. This year, my goal is to go longer, hopefully a whole month of wearing dresses only – we’ll see.

I didn’t find the kind of dresses I was looking for; although I wasn’t looking for a specific dress per se.

During the winter, through depressing rain, slush and snow, I’d think of beautiful colourful summer dresses, like the kind you see in J Crew catalogues or the kind worn by people who vacation in those New England beach towns.

I think I’ll keep looking; I’m excited by the thought of wearing only dresses for thirty days this summer. It sounds perfect… so perfectly me! I just might do it, and write about it.
