Style Scouting: Vol. 203

Thanks for stopping by for this week’s Style Scouting. My Sunday post where I share the random stuff that captured my attention or inspired me that I found online.

It’s hard to feel motivated when it’s so hot outside, but I am trying my best. One way I am making the best of it is thinking ahead to the arrival of fall, my favorite season.

When out and about last week I saw one of the first signs that fall is coming. Do you know what it is? Seeing school supplies front and center in stores.

Everything from backpacks, lunch boxes and my favorites that I still want even though I don’t need one is a cute pencil case filled with new pencils, erasers and pens. I have to reign myself in, but the nostalgia attached to the happy memories of buying school supplies when I was a kid makes me want them as a signal to a fresh new start. Do you feel the same?

Hope you are staying cool!

Now onto this week’s links.
