Weekly Wears: Fall Preview

The day before these photos were taken I was wearing a sweater with little antlered deer printed all over it.  I was chilly when the wind blew.  I was drinking hot beverages.  I was yearning (YEARNING) for Autumn to hurry up and get here so I could sit on my porch, snuggle up in a blanket, and watch the leaves fall. 

Sadly, Mother Nature realized it's still August and that (amazing) weather is a little crazy for the season.  That just means I have the rest of Summer to enjoy, and Fall to look forward to.  Right?  That's what I'm telling myself, anyway.  We won't talk about the suede cape, long sleeved button up, or cozy sweater I bought at a vintage shop that day.  ;)  My brain was tricked... TRICKED I TELL YOU.

Dress: c/o Tulle;  Shoes: Seychelles (borrowed from Elsie);  Belt: ModCloth;  Necklace: c/o Poshlocket;  Sunglasses: UO

Today we are picking up the keys to the new place and doing some major painting.  I am so, SO excited.  I'll share more about our new home soon.  :)

    The weather shenanigans were happening here in the Hoosier State as well - blast! I'm longing for Autumn and all it brings.

    I'm going to come steal your shoes, okay?

    Is a lovely print, I prefer this in another color, but the blue looks good with your hair color
    the place of the photo session is very cool.

    Today was the same way for us here! It even smelled like Fall, but somehow I'm doubting that it will stay around. One can hope though! You look gorgeous and congrats on finding a new home!!

    I want to see that sweater!
    I'm definitely an autumn girl at heart, too. Your vintage cape sounds absolutely amazing. Can't wait to see the fall wardrobe!
    Here's to looking forward to: crisp breezes, pumpkin spice lattes, scarves + boots, pumpkin patches, brightly colored leaves...this list could go on and on. :)

    Oh how I love the fall and winter! I can't wait and have been sewing up a storm of cute collared 3/4 sleeve dresses in lovely browns and mustards, to wear with thights and cardigans...but of course after a nonexistent summer here in San Diego we are getting a heatwave just now :(
    I'm loving the colors on this dress!

    Can't wait to hear more about your new home. You look lovely! And I know exactly what you mean about Autumn. Absolutely cannot wait. The weekend is going to be utterly beautiful here though with temps in the 70's during the day and 60's/50's at night. It is heavenly.
