When I decided to move to Florida the only thing I was concerned about was dealing with the heat.

But now that I’ve been here for a few months I’m realizing I have a few more concerns to deal with. Like having to wear summer clothes in the winter.

Like NOT HAVING a lot of summer clothes because I’m a native Bostonian.

*sigh*

My beautiful wool sweaters are now tucked into a storage bag under my bed and I have an entire closet full of winter coats.

As for my vast collection of scarves and gloves, I donated those.

I finally have a walk-in closet and now I don’t have much to fill it.

No worries.

I’m sure I’ll add to my wardrobe soon, but for now I’m in jeans and tee shirts. And yes, sandals and mules.

It’s not just a change of how I dress, my change of address also changed the way I care for my skin.

Usually my skin is a little dry this time of year. I’m constantly grabbing my La Mer hand treatment and moisturizing my cuticles with oil.

Extra conditioner for my hair was always a must.

Not anymore.

The heat and constant sunshine has me grabbing my 55 SPF instead of always reaching for my hand cream.

So now I’m shopping for more summer dresses, cute skirts and shorts.

I really shouldn’t complain.

It was 23 degrees and snowing in Boston.

It was 85 here today.

I think I’ll manage just fine.

And I can throw out my snow scraper.

The only ice I’m going to see are the cubes floating in my margarita…..
