Dear Darty Season,

First of all, thank you for well, existing. You are the highlight of my spring semester (excluding spring break of course) and without you, life would be very very dull. There are so many things to thank you for and I honestly don't really know where to begin, but here goes nothing!

First, thank you for allowing me to retire my black bodysuit and exchange it for a black sun dress. Because of you, I no longer have to worry about being an outfit repeater on Instagram and for that, I will forever be thankful. Due to the change of weather and the time of day, I now can wear the sundresses and the skirts and the shorts that have been hanging in my closet desperate to be worn since that one random hot day in October, and thanks to you Darty Szn, I am able to break them out again and explore my wardrobe in ways that don't include bodysuits and thigh-high black suede boots.

Next, thank you for taking place, well during the day. Because of this, it is usually sunny out which means that I get to wear sunglasses which means, I don't have spend as much time on my eye makeup as I normally would. Even at a darty when it's not sunny out, if you're wearing sunglasses, no one is going to say a word to you because everyone will just assume you're still hungover from the night before, when in actuality, I'm wearing sunglasses because I didn't feel like putting eyeshadow on at 2 PM and due to my lack of makeup, I look like I haven't slept in 14 days.

Next, thank you for giving me a reason to hangout in someone's backyard with a bunch of my friends. You, darty season, allow me to be outside and enjoy the fresh air allll while catching up with and being surrounded by my favorite people, and that is an experience that I am truly grateful for.

And, last but not least, thank you darty szn for making it possible for me to get drunk in the middle of the day without anyone passing any sort of judgment because well, everyone around you is also drinking twisted tea out of a box at 11 AM. Thank you darties for allowing me to socialize and drink with great people outside in the middle of the afternoon with my best friends and people I have never met before. You are truly one of a kind and I am #blessed that Darty culture exists and is evolving into something absolutely incredible. I love you darties, and I can't wait to see what this season has in store for you.

All my love and respect,

Ur favorite darty-er.
