Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree.
- Emily Bronte
I guess the weather has me feeling poetic. I've always thought we have a wonderful fall here in
the Deep South, but now as my world has expanded via the blogs I read, I realize I am totally
getting ripped off! The weather here is still unstable. We have cool, perfect mornings followed
by hot, sticky afternoons. And then before I know it- the leaves will be gone and the days will
be gray.

Eh, believe me, you're not missing out on anything! I know I'm in the minority, but I can't stand fall because it means the freezing cold winter is just around the corner. Our weather is wacky here too...it's supposed to be 72 today and just days ago it was just over 50. Have a great weekend, Katie!

I SO LOVE THOSE boots. We've also been having that problem in Kentucky this fall. Perfect mornings, hot afternoons, cold nights. I want the crisp, perfect fall of my youth. All the leaves orange, yellow and red, from the end of September till the beginning of November. After that it gets COLD.
Lovely shirt and lovely colors of autumn. Enjoy the season before it turns into gray :)

I'll totally be jealous of your short winter and early spring in a few months:) I miss living in the south the most in March when it feels like the rest of the world is warming up and it's still snowing in New England. Have a great weekend Katie!
Ugh, I wish I could enjoy crunchy leaves and golden sun - but instead I'm busy getting sunburned. I absolutely love that feather top (duh) and the colors in this outfit are so perfectly fall. Have a great weekend, Katie :)
Love these fall colours!

Oh, Bronte, ever beloved! I used Dickinson in my fall poetry post. ;) Great minds think alike, eh?

To be honest, the leaves here in Boston are only crunchy for a short period of time... it's mostly wet since it rains every other day. BUT the scenery is really pretty. Love your outfit and that first picture is beautiful. Have a great weekend! :)

OK, remember when I sent you that email about how we are like separated at birth? You are describing exactly our weather. Seriously, I live in Little Rock. Are we freaking neighbors or something?!
This is THE fall look - so stunning. These warm yellow and orange tones always look stunning on you.

Katie, we ARE totally getting ripped off. It's still in the 70s, and it's almost the end of October. I'm sick of sticky humidy :(
But I love your feather top!
I'm going to write a poem about how I am jealous of everyone's cute boots because my calves are still too wide. lol I think I am gonna cave and buy some boots that *might* fit, just in case they DO fit!
beautiful ♥♥♥

God you look good in yellow! It makes me jealous! And the boots are fab. LOVE! I'm from California so I am totally into the leaves changing here. I still find it amazing!

You look gorgeous in those rich fall colors. :) No crunchy leaves here - I'd love to experience a "real" fall someday. :)
I've been embracing the fall as much as possible...it's my fave! Your outfit is so cute...and so "fall" :)

I love watching the leaves fall & change colors. Your outfit is a perfect Fall ensemble!
We have mostly pines in our neighborhood, but my drive to work every morning is BEAUTIFUL!
Thank you! We brunettes look good in everything, you know ;)
Mine too! Who can resist a delicate feather?
Well, you've been killing it with the amazingly cozy fall outfits!!
Me too! Although I guess I'm getting a "realer" fall than you are!!!
Right?! It's so beautiful!
Thank you!
Oh, geez! Please do! I would love that! I barely fit ito boots, so I understand the frustration! I think both Wardrobe Oxygen and Opinionated Girl have recent posts on wide calf boots. Do you read either of them?
Me too! And now we are going back up to the 80s this week, AFTER I picked out lovely warm and cozy clothes!! Why?
Thank you so much :)
I'm in Bama, so we are pretty close!! And I swear it goes into awful winter weather so fast- we get like no fall and no spring!!!
Truth be told, that makes me feel A LOT better about things, no lie! I mean I don't want you to deal with rain all the time, but at least now I know the truth!!!
Believe it- look at Hayley/Discourse of a Diva's reply above. Didn't you post about wide calf boots recently??
Thanks!!
Here's my post on wide calf boots!

Thanks for the shoutout ;)
I sure did! So did Allie but I'm not sure of her link.
I've been saying that for years. People here talk about loving fall, and I'm like "You mean the 2 weeks we get every year?" Same goes for spring. Pfft. But at least our winters are mild enough to wear fall clothes all the way through.
I know I have come upon Wardrobe Oxygen before, but I don't think I've read Opinionated Girl. I will definitely check them out!
Thank ya!! :-)
I word - LOVE :)
