the sweetness of doing nothing
summer plans: no pressure, only pleasure
It’s official. At least on Substack. It’s gonna be a “Boring Girl Summer”1 of a kind:
“A timeless summer where everything you need is within arms reach. A summer that existed before Instagram. Where days are planned around bike rides to the lake. And you show up for breakfast in your favourite dress because, by the time noon hits, it’s too hot for clothes.”2
Maybe it’s time to just “enjoy being alive today”.
Our interpretation of it, at Femmes Solaires, is a T-shirt celebrating The Sweetness Of Doing Nothing. The T-shirt is oversized. It’s like a mini-dress that will take you from breakfast to your beach day. We made them in two different weights: lighweight, very soft, and a heavier weight, with a dry touch. Pick your lover. It says “Femmes Solaires” on the chest, and this, on the back:
Here is how to celebrate the Sweetness of Doing Nothing.
Words by Lauren:
“Forget about your phone. Find it floating around the junk drawer in the kitchen three days later when you go to look for matches.
Arrive at the farmers market thirty minutes early to chat with your neighbours and take home the best heirloom tomatoes in town.
Spend all day preparing a meal. Make it completely from scratch. Touch, smell, taste, and visually admire each ingredient.
Wear your bathing suit as an outfit because there’s no air conditioning and your stomach deserves a little kiss from the sun.
Eat the juiciest stone fruits and citrus without a napkin in sight. Then jump into the lake before all the sugars make your hands, neck, and chest sticky.
Skinny dip. Dance. Sing. Yell at the top of your lungs. Run as fast as you can. Walk on the grass with bare feet. Make sand angels at the beach.
Write poetry for yourself and keep it a secret.
Make love in the afternoon.
Lounge in the backyard and read while you drink homemade iced tea sweetened with local honey.
Sleep under the stars. Pull the mattress outside if you need.
Continue being grateful for each and every day.
Savour this one precious life.”3
We hope you will have a wonderful Summer, celebrating being alive and slowing down. No pressure, only pleasure.
Bisous!
