I'll be the first to admit that "Retro Rainbow" is a lazy title, despite -- or perhaps because of -- it being one I could use for most of my posts.  As you know, hardly an entry goes up without me getting all flowery about something Technicolor or nostalgic or both.  But in the last ten or so years, I've never once featured a skort.  That's right, that strange combination of shorts and skirt last seen in the '90s is back.  I found this pink and purple plaid one at -- where else? -- Kohl's, in the juniors section, last July.    

At the time, it seemed so back to school, not at all right for beaches and BBQs (or a women who hasn't done homework since MySpace).  But I got it anyway, knowing it would be gone come September.  And then I blinked and it was October, and I was scrambling to squeeze it in before the first frost.  Yet such is fall and life -- and transitional wear.  

So revel in your rainbows as long as you can, whether they be vintage-inspired or otherwise.  Because you never know when the universe -- or Mark Zuckerberg -- will make you bust out your umbrella.
