Mixing It Up

When the seasons change there is always such a mix of styles. 

Some folks decide to still don summer duds, 

and others bust out their full on winter gear.  

When it is 30 degrees in the morning there is no question but to throw on your boots, sweater, scarf (and facemask.)

But then there are mornings like this one, where I walk out the door to a gloriously, sunny, 60 degree day. 

It is hard to know what to wear. 

Especially, when I still have summer dresses hanging in my closet... next to my winter threads.

Mix it up with and pair that summer dress with a winter sweater or coat and maybe even a pair of boots -if there is a chill- and you're good to go.

rainy daze

I don't know about you, but it has been raining non-stop for about 3 days here in NC. I feel like it is 40 days and 40 nights or something, maybe I should get to building that ark. 

But in the meantime I will be looking for some warm duds that will also keep me dry. On cold rainy days, some like to spruce up the mood with bright colors, but I am loving the hunter greens, eggplants and warm taupes for the dull mood that the rain brings.

And of course you cannot get through the fall without your Hunter Boots, 

but check out these cool vintage umbrellas too!
