Happy Monday!  The weekend brought gorgeous late summer weather to Philly.  The sun was shining, but there was a very slight dash of cool air, so my denim jacket was a necessary edition beyond style purposes.

Though my school days are behind me, I still feel like September is a fresh start. I may not be sitting in a classroom, but there are still lessons to be learned.  This month, I plan to check in on goals I made at the start of the year and start a fall bucket list of fun things to do. And let’s not forget how awesome fall fashion is (Yay for layers!).  I’ll miss the long days of summer, but I expect fall to be great season with lots to look forward to.

How do you prep for fall?

Happy MLK Day!  My temporary hair change randomly coincided with the national holiday.  I make it a point to read some of Dr. King’s writings around this time each year and bookmark a few of my favorite Dr. King quotes.  One that of the many quotes by Dr King that resonates with me today is:  “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is what are you doing for others?” -Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It’s a good reminder to think about service and the small ways we can help others not just on MLK Day, but all year.  Do you have a favorite quote by Dr. King?

Happy Monday! How was your first weekend of 2014? Mine was pretty good. I treated the weekend as a last hurrah before I really start working full steam on my goals for the year. Speaking of goals, one of my goals for 2014 was to move Shen Dove Style over to WordPress and my own domain which I’ll be doing later this week. More details on the move in a separate post!

This outfit was worn during the holidays on a day much warmer than the frigid temperatures we are currently having in Philly.  I know that the Pantone color of the year is radiant orchid, but bright orange is a color I never tire of wearing.
