Motif Monday:Easy, breezy, beautiful... chiffon!

Recently, the weather became a bit warmer in my area. Granted, it was only a tiny bit warmer and what might seem very cold to a lot of people (it was a high of 50! Just enough to wear a short-sleeved shirt outside without freezing to death. :) ), but nonetheless the warmer weather got me dreaming about spring and summer clothing.
Those of you who know me in real life know that typically, I despise summer and spring fashion. I feel like a lot of clothes released in this time period when warmer-weather fashion starts making it's way into stores are rather uninspired, and as I perused the racks of Forever 21 earlier today in an effort to find some clothes that fit me (I lost a lot of weight since last time I went summer clothes shopping, so I'm in new of an almost entirely new wardrobe!), I found that for the most part I still felt the same way. There were quite a lot of clothes that were too plain for my tastes (even if I do go for a more laid-back look in the summer and almost entirely leave Lolita out of the equation, I still don't want to wear a "punny" tee shirt and jean shorts everyday), or clothes that I just didn't like, and apparently others didn't like as well since there were countless numbers of t-shirts that looked like they were meant for old women on the racks, untouched. Yet, I still did find a few things that suited my tastes, which brings me to this post's subject...
Chiffon!
By the time I was checking out, I realized 75% of the things I got were made of chiffon. I finally realized today that for warmer weather fashion, I just adore chiffon. Besides it evoking adjectives that resemble a certain makeup brand's slogan when I look at it, chiffon really is a wonderful fabric for those warmer days. It's light, airy, and reminiscent of a fairy's skirt. If fairies really did exist, I think chiffon would be their fabric of choice.
Even though, as I mentioned previously, I try to avoid Lolita in the summer (I'm very sensitive to temperature, so layers upon layers of petticoats just don't help anything when it's 90 degrees outside), there's still a couple of Lolita dresses I think would work well for summer, like this dress from Dear Celine:

Isn't it just darling?! I can picture a fairy girl running around a big field in this, just twirling around without a care in the world (yes, when it comes to fashion, my fantasies are extremely cheesy :P ). This dress comes in more than one color, but mint is my favorite. If I have money after I go to Anime Boston (I'm finally going this year! Who else is going?!) I may have to order this, though I may end up saving up even if it takes me until half way through the summer. :)
Unfortunately, this is one of the only examples I can find of chiffon being used in Lolita. I'm sure there are a few, but I can't seem to find any pictures of brands using chiffon! It's a shame, because if Angelic Pretty released a chiffon jsk similar to this one with maybe a sweets print on the fabric, I'd be all over that. :(
Well, that's motif Monday! I hope everyone else is lucky enough to experience the warmer weather if you aren't already in a warm place, and remember: Think Spring!! <3
