In the Swing of Things.

“To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with spring.” – George Santayana

The weather lately has been absolutely beautiful. I love the feeling of the sun shining down on my face with a cool breeze brushing my skin. On days like this I am in awe of the changing of seasons. And it’s not just the temperature, but the beauty of the colours. I recently said to my husband, as silly as it may sound, but in autumn, death never looked so beautiful (I’m referencing the dying leaves of course). I like to think of autumn as a time for reflection. It doesn’t necessarily have the optimism of the rebirth of spring, but it’s like the calm before the storm.

For my outfit, I paired my new favourite jacket with a swing dress I bought last year. What I like about this particular dress is that it’s lined underneath, which keeps me extra warm in cooler temperatures. This bag has also been a favourite of mine for several years because not only does it hold quite a bit, but can be worn cross body.

What are your favourite things about fall? Be sure to leave a comment!
