Sometimes, the best discoveries are the ones hiding in plain sight. I was organizing my closet the other day, doing that seasonal shuffle we all know too well, when I stumbled upon a piece I had nearly forgotten- a lovely shirtdress I bought at the beginning of summer. It was one of those impulse purchases, made in a moment of daydreaming about long, sun soaked days and leisurely dinners al fresco. The kind of dress you imagine yourself wearing while wandering through a flower market on a lazy Saturday morning. But as life tends to go, it had been tucked away, overshadowed by the busyness of the season, waiting patiently for its moment.

It made me think about how easy it is to get swept up in the rush of life and forget to take time to enjoy the little things. It was a gentle reminder to slow down and savor the rest of the season, to take pleasure in the everyday moments that make summer so special.

So, I decided to put it on, even if just for a quiet afternoon of running errands. And as I went about my day, I felt a sense of ease, a little reminder of what summer is all about- finding joy in the simple moments. Sometimes, it’s the small things, like rediscovering a dress, that help us reconnect with the things we love about the season.
