HAPPY OCTOBER (AND A RECIPE TO SHARE)

THIS IS MY "FAVORITE" SEASON OF THE YEAR. 

WHO WOULDN'T LOVE THESE COLORS OF FALL. SIMPLY GORGEOUS.

I LOVE THESE FISHERMAN SWEATERS

I ACTUALLY HAVE ONE THAT IS PROBABLY 25 YEARS OLD THAT I REFUSE TO GIVE UP. LET'S JUST SAY IT HAS HAD MANY SURGERIES. HARD TO PART WITH SOMETHING YOU LOVE.

THIS YEAR I WANT TO TRY WEARING SOME

AND I AM ESPECIALLY LIKING THE PLAID ONES.

ANOTHER ITEM I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT IS

RIDING BOOTS 

BUT I ALSO NEED THE SKINNY OR STRAIGHT LEG JEANS (I ONLY OWN BOOT CUT). WHAT JEANS DO YOU GET WITH THESE BOOTS, skinny or straight?

I ALWAYS SEEM TO BE LATE TO THE PARTY WHEN IT COMES TO FASHION AND DECORATING, ANYONE ELSE FEEL THAT WAY?

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO WEARING THIS FALL?
