IT’S FALL Y’ALL! Sorry, I hadda do it.

I don’t have a favorite season. I love the start of every season; when the weather changes and you get some relief from whatever has been going on for the past three months. New activities begin, your wardrobe changes, everything seems fresh and new.

I love summer. Not that I summered much this year, but usually there’s beaching and vacationing and long daylight hours for reading and sunset-watching. Dressing is so so easy. Almost every outfit is one and done (for me, anyway).

But it’s hot. And humid. And sticky. And buggy. And by the first day of fall, I’m ready to start putting cardigans or light jackets over my favorite summer dresses. At least for the first part of the season.

This is the Osei Duro dress I treated myself to this summer. And even though I never had it altered I LOVE it and have worn it a lot. I’m not ready to give it up so soon. But I can just throw a cozy cardigan over top and call it a day! When it gets even cooler I might put a super-thin turtleneck underneath and a cardigan over top. If I could find plus size cream tights (oh to dream the impossible dream) I could even see it with tights and clogs.

At a certain point, it will be just Too Cold For Rayon (and what a sad sad day that will be), but until that day I’ll just keep layering things over and under this dreamy summer dress to make it work for fall.

What are your favorite parts of fall? I love sleeping in the cooler weather…the changing colors of the foliage…the smell of fireplace smoke…curling up on the sofa under a blanket and a cat, with a book. And while I bemoan the shortening of the days, I secretly like it because that’s the time of year I can hibernate at home.

What summer item are you not ready to give up for the cool weather??
