I know I’ve mentioned this already but I find it amazing that it’s August already. Why oh why does summer fly by so fast?  I’m so not ready to even think about fall clothing yet, but I guess it’s time…

Now that we have officially entered the end of summer, I’ve decided that my personal theme for the month will be “Make it Count.”  It’s time to make some of the fun activities I wanted to do back at the start of the summer a reality before it’s too late.  I also need to start making headway on a few personal goals since I’ve basically been coasting on the goals I set earlier this year for the last quarter.  I’ll do a separate goal blog post soon, I’m overdue for a check-in.  Nothing like the end of the season to offer some motivation!    Happy Monday!

Have you ever just looked up and realized that you’ve accumulated several items that are the same color?  When looking for an outfit to wear recently, I realized that I have this dress, a skirt,  a pair of jeans and a hat in the same wine/burgundy color.  I guess it’s safe to say that though I haven’t yet acquired a taste for red wine, I at least like wearing wine colored clothing.

Crispness of Fall

Dress: Target [similar sweater dress] | Coat: F21 [exact coat] | Shoes: F21 | Bag: H&M [similar necklace] | Head Wrap: The Wrap Life | Necklace: H&M

Farewell the occasional balmy October day, hello crisp November weather!  Had to leave my trench coats alone and start getting accustomed to wearing heavier outerwear.  Head wraps make getting ready on fall weekends a much faster process because no hair styling is involved…

Let’s make this week a great one!

September Wish List – Early Fall

Early Fall Wish List | Shen Dove

The time for heavy knits, scarves, tights, and sturdy boots will be here soon enough.  For now, I’m currently loving these items to be worn now by themselves and later with multiple layers.
