Maybe it was all in my head, since the quarterly Nordstrom Fashion Rewards catalog magically appeared in my mailbox (ok, so no magical that I have a credit card with them...but a girl's gotta be well heeled). Of course, featuring cashmere and wool blend tights for fall, lovely warm trench coats, adorable fedora hats and accessories to boast. I read through the editorial style of the 'zine and proceeded to tear out and keep only the pages which I felt would be relevant to building (i.e.- adding on to) a fabulous fall wardrobe. It was a year ago, this time that I was a newby to the high fashion world of Nordstrom, and although I do not miss the agonizing pain in my legs and feet from 8 hours of standing in the most trendy bootie-heels or wearing SpanX under my sweater dresses, I do miss the "Occasion" of getting ready for work. I was allotted creativity without boundaries (as long as it didn't have open toes or showed my armpits) and it was truly F U N to go to work everyday and basically spend other people's money $!
Back to where I was originally going with this, is that just maybe by hope and stroke of luck, Fall will show her beautiful golden crisp self a bit early this year (by FL standards) and perhaps today was the start of it. Or maybe I'm hallucinating from the heat+humidity and just the glimpses of fall fashion was enough to make my heart believe it was a glimmer of fall weather today.
Either way, end of summer is always glorious. Boasting of good tan skin (Ok, not this year, had no time for that) and warm summer weather slipping away in the evenings, makes me yearn for a gorgeous front porch, a good swing or rocker, and a glass of Sun Tea with a mint leaf, for good measure. Until my Porch Charming arrives with the changing of leaves, I'll settle for these eye-catching beauties found all over the South.
