Autumn has arrived

I realized this morning that it is officially fall. Not only was there a cooler breeze than normal blowing through my bedroom but when you look outside there are leaves starting to collect in little piles on the sidewalks... Not only is the changing of the seasons exciting for obvious reasons such as Halloween, perfect weather, the colorful leaves, but also for fall clothing! It is by far the best time of year to dress, which has got me thinking of layers, lots and lots of layers....

As excited as I am for the season change it is always hard to say goodbye to summer. No more sitting on the fire escape eating popsicles and warm sunny afternoons browsing the outdoor flea markets. At least the end of summer my summer was lovely. Lots of visits from loved ones and park adventures. This is one of my last summer outfits. Note that those legs will be bare no more. From this point on knit tights will be a crucial part of dressing. crucial.
