I'm Taking a Vacation Day! What am I Wearing?
OKAY! ENOUGH, I HAVE TO TAKE A VACAY DAY, A DAY TO NOURISH MY SOUL, CALM DOWN, NURTURE MYSELF. WHAT SHALL I DO WITH THIS FULL GLORIOUS DAY?
WILL I GO TO THE BEACH AND WADE AS FAR OUT AS I CAN WITH MY PANTS ROLLED UP? SHALL I READ THAT BOOK I HAVE BEEN PUTTING OFF? MAYBE I WILL GO TO THAT PARK I LOVE, WHERE I CAN WALK BACK IN THE WOODS SAFELY WITH THE OUTDOOR HIKERS ALL AROUND?

The gentle curves of the design, the play of light and shadow, and the colors that brighten even the cloudiest morning will lift your spirit before the day begins.
