Technically, we’re still in spring, but if I’m being honest, the only thing on my mind is summer. It’s been over a decade since I’ve had a proper summer vacation where I was free to do whatever I wanted for at least three months (ugh, how I miss being in school). And while those days feel like a lifetime ago, I still like to follow some rules that I set all those years ago. For instance, shorts are the only form of “pants” that are acceptable and a swimsuit should be worn at least once a week (and I’m very serious about that). This means I’m going to need to replenish my summer wardrobe expeditiously and luckily, Abercrombie’s Prep for Summer Sale has officially entered the chat.
