For those of you who are not fashion-savvy, a skort is a cute word for a cute skirt that also has cute shorts underneath.

Golfers, in particular, wear skorts.

Or tennis players.

Rarely do women just wear skorts to go to the grocery store; there’s usually some organized sport pushing the idea.

Among my group of friends, there is a leopard skort circulating from golf cart to golf cart. The one who purchased it found that she could no longer fit into it.

Week by week, it has been passed to a different friend.

Few moments make summers quite as special as family meals, whether you’re soaking up the sun’s rays on the patio or beating the heat at the dining room table. You can make evenings the highlight of the day with loved ones by centering dinner around the flavors of the season.
