Boots!  I’m wearing boots and I’m not stupid overheated!  The heat is breaking!  A fluke cold front moved in for a few days with highs (highs!) below 80.  It’s going back to the usual, though, maybe 97 or 99 degrees, so the boots will need to wait awhile longer.  Still, that’s double digits, people, October finally drops us below the 100+ temps for the most part.  Hallelujah, we’re free at last, free at last!

In other news, this skirt keeps getting shorter each time I wash it and I had to tape up the lining — which isn’t shrinking — so that it wouldn’t show.  The skirt’s in the mending pile now for a more permanent fix than scotch tape.  I mean, I’m not entirely without class, even if I did find a piece of tape on my thigh when getting ready for bed.  You can see the length difference in the photos below.  Not only are my full knees visible these days, but some upper leg too.  Scandalous!  Still, I won’t relent, Dry Clean Only Tag, you’re not the boss of me.
