The calendar may say Fall arrived two weeks ago, but in the South we all know the temperature won't start to reflect the change of season until at least Halloween. So what's a girl to do when she wants to dress to reflect the season but doesn't want to die of heat stroke in the process? The easiest way is with color. Swap out the brights of Summer for the darks of Fall, like the deep red of this corduroy skirt. I've never been much for corduroy because it's never really that cold here, but this skirt is pretty thin and unlined so I didn't feel too warm in it. Unfortunately it's no longer available, but I linked to some similar ones below. I paired it with this white button-up cami I'd been eyeing on Amazon to keep things temperature appropriate and finished the look with these laser-cut peep-toe booties. And voila! A Fall outfit appropriate for near 100-degree temperatures.
I'm your mom friend who's probably overdressed for the occasion, would rather drink Mountain Dew than wine, and definitely stayed up too late reading last night. Thanks for joining me on this crazy journey!
We are less than a month out from Valentine's Day! Do you and your significant other celebrate? We really don't, but I can't den...
January Book Club Pick
This book is supposed to be like a combination of The Echo of Old Books and The Lost Apothecary, the January picks of the 2024 and 2023 book clubs respectively. I really enjoyed starting the year with those books, so I figured I would continue the tradition this year! This book is about three strangers: Opaline, Martha, and Henry. None have been the main characters of their own stories, but that all changes when they discover The Lost Bookshop in Dublin and are transported into a world of wonder.
