I love summer, but not so much late summer. My morning walks with Leia are darker, the bugs are big after months of feeding, and I am tired of air conditioning. A cold front came through yesterday and this morning it was a delicious 65 degrees. That’s unheard of in the middle of August!
This weather has made me long for cool, crisp autumn days ahead. Not winter, mind you, autumn. Let’s not rush into Cold so soon. But I long for those chilly Saturday mornings. The ones when you wake up and put socks on as you drink your coffee slowly and think of all the people preparing for a football game. And as the day goes on the sky turns that deep, rich blue you shed your chunky sweater and open your kitchen window and turn on Patty Griffin and spend the afternoon making an apple pie.
Yes, that. That’s what I long for.
In an effort to save some money, I haven’t bought a single thing since May (okay, except for one single dress that I plan to wear to a wedding in two weeks). It’s been a very creative summer trying to mix and match my limited summer decor. So I am extra excited about this new season of layers and the chance to maybe, just maybe, buy Something New.
Here are some of the cozy clothes I have on my wish list this year…
scarf, sweater, bag, pants, books, loafers
Most of the things I picked out are pretty expensive, but maybe I can find similar styles at a lower price? Challenge accepted.
What is on your wish list this fall?
Loovvve these! Especially the boots. I need to get on my fall shopping! I’m sure my husband will love that ;)
I’ve been saying the same thing about the weather all week to anyone that would listen! Roll on September. Love all of your selections – particularly the bag. I tend to think a classic tan leather bag is worth investing on though :-) . I bought a similar one (not cheap) a few years ago and it still looks amazing/gets lots of compliments. I’ve actually just done some autumn clothes shopping (mainly because I needed cool weather maternity wear) and now can’t wait for the temperature to drop a bit so I can get it all out!
I love that scarf and those boots! And that sweater also would be a welcome addition to my closet. Love your fall fashion picks; they’re fab!
the temp dropped so drastically! i think i want those boots as well. i think i want a very nice jacket!!
Can´t wait for fall weather to get here too! Love wearing my fall wardrobe:-)
I really want a nice knitted sweater in burgundy; such a beautiful fall color:-)
