Farmers' Market Skirt

 

One of my favorite things to do in the summer is visit various farmers' markets in the area. In Los Angeles, just about every city and town has one on different days of the week. A few weeks ago we visited one such farmer's market and I wore this adorable skirt from Lesley Evers in a fun retro print called "Farmers' Market" so it was definitely the perfect item to wear for the occasion! (There is also a dress version in the same print!) Lately, I have become a big fan of Lesley Evers and all the whimsical 70s inspired prints she creates! This particular Farmers' Market print is perfect for summer but can also transition to fall due to the colors.

 

Unfortunately, on my multiple trips to the various farmers' markets this season, I was unlucky in locating one of my favorite things to buy there: squash blossoms. I love to cook with squash blossoms, but they are not available in most grocery stores. You do sometimes find them being sold by local farmers at farmers' markets, but no luck this year. One farmer at one market said he had some squash blossoms but a chef purchased them all first thing in the morning. (I guess the early bird gets the worm!) The farmer then told me that he would have them the next week, so I woke up early to get there a few minutes before the market opened and the farmer didn't bring any that day! Well, maybe I will be more successful next year, but at least I have a cute skirt!
