Dust off those tiki torches, umbrellas and seat cushions ladies. It’s time to head outside and party with the local flora and fauna. There’s nothing better than the first patio party of the summer, and no better excuse to buy something new & cute to wear.
Since this is the year – maybe even the weekend – that millions and millions of cicadas will emerge after their 17 year hiatus in our ‘hood, the background noise may be a bit loud. Apparently we may be outnumbered by 600 cicadas to one, all along the mid-Atlantic. All the more reason to have the cutest outfit on, cuz those critters are gnarly.
