"It&amp;#x27;s T-12 hours until the unofficial start of summer. In my many unsuccessful attempts to stay focused for these last few on-the-clock hours, my mind kept wandering off (prancing really) into wardrobe territory, and what I&amp;#x27;ll wear once the days get--and stay--balmy. (Some might consider this superficial, I say it&amp;#x27;s super-efficient: Think of all that getting-dressed time I&amp;#x27;m saving!) And even though I recently slapped a Post-it on my credit card that says &amp;quot;IF IT&amp;#x27;S BIGGER THAN A BREADBOX, PUT IT BACK,&amp;quot; in the hopes that would prevent me from any non-essential, super-expensive purchase,I am trying to figure out a way that I can squeeze some of these in under the &amp;quot;essential&amp;quot; loophole: Black-and-white striped dresses: I&amp;#x27;ve never met one I didn&amp;#x27;t like, and these longer versions can be worn to work, with a cardigan or blazer. Something hot pink: As Tracey mentioned, I can wear it now, straight on through &amp;#x27;til fall. A gingham dress: Nothing says summer like a check-print stunner. Swoon. Woven leather heels: Like the brown sandals I wore as a kid, except cooler, sexier and most importantly, several leg-lengthening inches taller. Pink jeans: Alas, I don&amp;#x27;t think this can get by my &amp;quot;non-essential&amp;quot; screen. But there is something oddly appealing about bubblegum pink jeans, isn&amp;#x27;t there? I know these aren&amp;#x27;t as scintillating as that drop-dead gorgeous Luella Bartley dress Tracey has been losing sleep over, but I can&amp;#x27;t help but circle back to these and think, &amp;quot;Hmm, maybe I can scrunch these down into a breadbox size...&amp;quot; What about you? What kind of summer goodies have you had your eye on? A dress? A pair of sandals? Sunglasses? Think you&amp;#x27;ll take the plunge and buy something to start the season off right or wait awhile and see if it&amp;#x27;s something you really want--or if it will go on sale?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
