At the Pumpkin Patch

This past weekend I ventured over the river and through the woods, not to Grandmother's house but to a pumpkin patch!  Although, my grandmother does live over the river and through the woods.  If you live in or around Louisville, Huber's is the place to go and while I love it, we decided to try out a new family farm.  It was a lot smaller but much less crowded and we had a blast navigating the corn maze and picking pumpkins.  All in all it was a great little trip, even if it was a bit hot for my fall enjoyment. 

I went comfy and casual with this striped top, skinny jeans and converse.  In my head I was having flashbacks to high school because I don't think I've rocked a pair of converse since then, but I am so glad I added these to my wardrobe.  They're perfect for when you need a comfortable shoe but still want an element of style.  And then there's the top.  The ruffle sleeves add the perfect feminine touch to this otherwise sporty look.  As a self proclaimed girly girl, this small detail was just what I needed so that this look still felt like me.

Ready for Fall

I don't know about you, but I've made my fall list and checked it twice.  Ok, that might be for the wrong season but you know what I mean.  New clothes have been bought, patiently waiting for the temperature to drop enough that they can be comfortably worn, and hair freshly colored.  Darker makeup is making its way into my daily rotation and hearty soups and chili are at the top of my grocery list. 

Even though we are still dodging summer-like weather, the mornings and evenings have been pleasantly fall.  I could hardly wait any longer to break out my new wardrobe, so this outfit made its grand appearance this past weekend while out and about at NuLu Fest.  These two colors are quintessentially fall - but really, would you call this top burgundy, marsala, maroon, or what?  I'm always one to grab a typical pair of blue jeans so I've picked up a couple pairs of colored pants to incorporate more variety into my fall wardrobe.  And when I spotted this lace peplum top hanging on the sale rack, I snagged it right up.  The air isn't quite crisp enough for me to break out boots just yet so I stuck with my favorite sandals that I've had for years, but you can bet that I'm more than ready for fall.

Hello Sunshine

I've been pretty uninspired in the wardrobe department lately, with summer coming to an end but fall weather not quite here yet.  I'm ready for all the fall things, darn it!  Get me out of this awkward, in-between seasons time when I'm tempted with sweaters in stores but still can't step outside without dripping sweat.  It's quite the dilemma.  I'm not tired of ice cream though, I'll never be tired of that.  Make that pumpkin ice cream and we're golden.

Fall fashion is just so much easier to throw together with little effort and still look put together, never mind the fact that you can actually enjoy the outdoors and not have to run for the nearest AC.  Shorts, a t-shirt and sandals is eh but skinny jeans, booties and an over-sized sweater somehow has a little more something-something.  Since it's still hot as you know what outside, I like this outfit because it's a blend of the two seasons.  By mixing elements from both summer and fall, this floppy hat and sandals paired with this bright yellow basic tee and skinny jeans, it makes for a great combo for the seasonal transition.  Who knows, it might even encourage the cooler temps to come around a little sooner too.
