honeymoon phase ...

Truer words have never been spoken! I'm all excited about sweaters, scarves, boots, & all sorts of layers right now. But rest assured ... the first morning I wake up to temperatures in the 40's, the Seasonal Affective Disorder will be in full swing! Are you with me????

So, while I'm still in the honeymoon phase with all of my Fall clothing ... here are a few of my favorite looks from Pinterest I'll be sporting ...

how Labor Day was intended to be celebrated ....

{source}

Ummmm .... hello September. Where did you come from & how did you get here so fast?!?! I seriously woke up yesterday morning, looked at my phone, & gasped out loud when I saw it was September 1st! I was totally unprepared for September to be here amongst us!

I was so glad it was a holiday so I had the day to get over the realization that it was, in fact, no longer August. Which, I am sure is what Labor Day is really supposed to be for ... mourning the passing of summer over hamburgers & ridiculously great sales at Loft.

Bestie & I spent our Labor Day walking every square inch of the Southpoint Mall in search of the perfect Fall boot. Let me tell you this, if there was a size 7 1/2 brown boot anywhere within the 1.3 million square feet of said mall, Bestie had it on her right foot! And I was right beside her giving her all sorts of moral support, because that's what friends are for. I am pretty sure Elton John, Dionne Warwick, Gladys Knight & Stevie Wonder sang an entire verse to that effect back in the early 80's.

All that fall boot laboring was not in vain, because Bestie found the all elusive perfect boot that met all of her very specific criteria & I was able to give the "totally super cute" seal of approval to. So, happy Labor Day to us!

& now ... on to Fall! Bring on the cooler weather! And when I say cooler weather, please know I mean temperatures in the low 60* area ... just cool enough for jeans, cozy sweaters, & a cute boot!
