It is no secret around these parts that my favorite time of year is fall. Mainly because I HATE to be hot. So what the hell am I doing in the south you ask? Well, even though most days are unbearable with humidity at 6,5875,641%, you can’t help but love summer. There are just so many things to do!
Here are my favorite things about summer!
1. Summer dresses – They are so easy and comfy! Just pull one over your head, pair with some cute shoes and maybe a necklace…grab your sunglasses and you are out the door! Plus, no pants!
2. Flip flops! – Flip flops are my favorite shoes ever. I really wish these were a thing all year. How can you not love them?!
3. Going to the beach! – We try to make at least one trip down to the gulf every summer. When we are lucky…we go more! With tons of beaches just 4-5 hours away from here, you can’t not go!
4. Outside patios – I love being able to sit outside at restaurants and bars. Beers seem colder and food just tastes better!
5. Outdoor events and concerts – I love the impromptu fair wheels, carnivals, brewfests, and outdoor concerts and festivals. There are always plenty of these going around!
6. Summer colors – I love bright colors, and bright colors just scream summer!
7. Music – Fun music always comes out for the summer! I posted the top summer songs for the last 25 years here.
8. Grilling Out – There aren’t very many things I like better than grilled out food! Steaks, burgers, hot dogs, ribs, corn….yes please!!!!!
9. Sales! – With Memorial Day, 4th of July, back to school and Labor Day…you can score some really great deals all summer long!
10. Laid back, casual days – There are no major holidays in the summer that take weeks of preparation, most people take vacations during this time, and everyone seems to have a more laid back and casual attitude. You want to sit out on a patio and drink all day? No judgement. Lounge at the pool? Cool beans. Binge watch a TV show? By all means!

Oh yeah! Bright colors, longer days, breezier clothing, and SANDALS. I love the summer. Just wish this thing called work didn’t get in the way of my enjoyment.
Yesss, I love love love summer dresses too. Pants in the summer are so annoying. Plus I love to pair my bright flip flops with a cute summer dress!
On the whole, I dislike summer. The things I do like:
1 – going to the beach (although I prefer May or September!)
2 – flip flops
3 – soft ice cream, stone fruit, watermelon, grilling
4 – longer light
Flip flops arent a year long thing…oh because I totally wear mine year round hahahaha
getting drunk on patios for the win!!!
I love being on the beach but on patios even more. Being able to workout outdoors and just feel the sun on my face. I am just not a Winter person.
I am such a Fall person too! Hello riding boots and PSL! But I definitely don’t mind the summer dresses, summer concerts, and beach time! And maybe my birthday, HA!
Gotta Love Beer in the summer!!
I’m a total summer girl mostly because I hate being cold. I don’t know why I live in Boston. But yes to the beach, flip flops, dresses… all of it!
Flip flops are amazing. They’re my favorite thing! I have even been known to wear them in the winter during a snow storm. 🙂
hells yes to sales!! i just bought a shit ton from american eagle – their clearance section has an additional 50% off and i bought so many things for only $150; including a chunky sweater for winter for only $15 🙂
I spy JT lyrics!! And beer! And the Ferris wheel in ATL!! Agreed with the dress thing— who the hell needs pants anyway?
I refuse to wear pants in the summer LOL! Its dresses, skirts, shorts or nothing at all!

I love all of these esp summer dresses and flip flops and well of course the beach!
sooo not a fan of summer – I hope I get to stay in Mexico City until it’s all over back home…but it’s summer all year round so I’ll just have to move here permanently, I think.
