My personal prediction of the heat wave came true in that a migraine came crashing in on Sunday afternoon, and I completely lost to it. Thankfully I thought ahead and warned my team at work on Friday that there was a strong chance I was going to be offline on Monday.

I discovered that Lotus Traders is not only having a sale on their Etsy shop, but that they have standing discounts for newsletter subscribers - spend over $130, get $20 off or something like that. Flowy lightweight rayon dresses, mmmm. I already have some dresses from them and LIVE in them at home during the summer, so I took advantage of the sale. Sure, they won't get here until August (they're made in/shipped from a small family business in Indonesia), but considering how the past Seattle summers have been, that's fine. Not to mention that they can rotate into my lea house wardrobe as layering pieces with waistcoats and such.
My only complaint with them is that they (like Holy Clothing) use an ethnic slur in a lot of their descriptions. :: sigh :: I included a note in my order pointing this out and asking them to reconsider using a slur as a synonym for romantic and free-spirited.
