Her Vacation Wardrobe

Usually Harriet goes for comfortable clothing since she is a busy working mother. While she was in Spain, she adjusted her wardrobe to match the sunny and warm weather, meaning her clothes were lighter and shorter than normal in order to stay comfortable while out in the sun.
