Springtime and Patterned Shorts
I am thrilled that it’s finally spring! Well except that all my dogs are shedding - that isn’t so sweet. But all the flowers and the warmer weather are just making me so happy right now.
My job has been so busy lately that I really haven’t had time to take some fun photos, but I really wanted to show you guys these amazing sweet shorts I recently purchased. I think there’s nothing better than mixing patterns and when I came home and remembered I had this precious lace sweatshirt, I knew I had the perfect outfit. I know this outfit is a little sweet for me - but there’s something about spring that just brings it out of me.
And what about these new creamy pearl glasses from SEE eyewear? I am completely in love!

Dykesicles Promo shoot - tropical queer summer look
Y’all - I’ve been BUSY lately. I’m prepping for travel to Toronto and helping out with folks in Chicago prepping for our local Pride festivities*
Some of those bits of prepping involved creating a logo for Dykesicles, my friend’s popsicle bike cart and also being in the promo video!
The video was shot and edited by the lovely Jacqueline Mary. It features a lovely crew of chicago queers - including myself and my boyfriend S. Obviously my look was VERY summery. I wanted a lot of color - but aren’t these leggings amazing? I think they might be the only thing in the H&M+ line that I like.
My outfit:
Tropical print Leggings - H&M+ Sz XL
Pink tank - H&M - Sz M
Shoes - Crown Vintage
Jean Vest - thrifted - Size 16
Necklace - H&M
Glasses - SEE
