Dear Fashion Friends: I just finished the academic year. I was exhausted from grading papers, preparing lectures, and answering emails. I looked forward to spending some time reading and writing fashion blog posts— an excellent way to spend the summer months. One weekend, I went to Port Austin, which is in the “Thumb” region of Michigan. After I got through the hurly-burly of Port Huron, my drive to Port Austin was lovely. On M-25, I enjoyed the scenic beauty of Lake Huron. After stopping for some coffee in Port Sanilac, I made my final push to my destination. I stayed...
