As we move into the last weekend of summer, I find that I am growing more and more comfortable with the arrival of fall. Those who know me well know that when the weather drops below 70 degrees, I normally get angry, like actually mad. I’ve never liked the cold, but something about this year has me feeling really hopeful. I’m excited for apple picking, trying my hand at hosting Thanksgiving for the first time, and the clothes. I do love the clothes.

While it’s so nice to be able to just throw on a little sundress and sandals and grab my bag and be out the door, my fall wardrobe offers so much more variety. The sweater, jeans, and boot combinations are endless, not to mention all of the great textures of cardigans, socks, and tights to autumnize the aforementioned sundresses. Today, I got into the fall spirit with this cozy sweater, boyfriend jeans, and ankle boots by Free People. The high-heeled boots dress up the distressed denim a bit. I also chose a simple white long sleeve tee by Splendid, a hat by Grace Hats, and my acorn necklace to complete my outfit. Bring it on fall. I’m so ready for you. (Although I am kind of over pumpkin spice everything. Is that awful? Please don’t hate me.)
