Talking about the weather in Maryland, and the Old Bay spice on the crabs. I stayed as cool as possible in my outfit.

I like this poplin collared cropped top (having trouble collecting - I see it is collected, but it's not showing up in my list). It hits me exactly right, lengthwise. The stripes go with 2 of my Ripskirts, plus many other black and blue items. Of course I am now duplicating in white and black. I sized down to XS and almost wish I had stayed at the S....I might order a S to compare. I just do not like gaping arm holes. It is wrinkly out of the wash, but irons beautifully to a crisp finish.

Record-breaking heat in our area yesterday. We went to catch the last 30 minutes of a lacrosse tournament, and then had dinner outside. Our son is an assistant coach at a summer lax camp, and watching the 12 year olds play was so nostalgic! However, I cannot imagine having spent the entire afternoon in that blazing sun. The parents were smart - tents, fans, coolers. They seemed to be holding up. But kids and coaches had no respite.

(Janet, we ended up at Cantlers. Great time, great food as always.)
