Style Scouting: Vol. 306

Thanks for stopping by for this week’s Style Scouting. This is where we will share the random stuff that captured our attention or inspired us that we found online.

It’s officially fall, y’all! Well, according to meteorologists at least. I’ve always delineated the seasons based on the astronomical dates. But, did you know there were two different official starts to each season? Well, this week, summer gave us a rude reminder that it’s not done yet. We saw temperatures here in the mid-90’s with “feels like” temps hovering around 100°!

I love summer and part of me wants to hold on to the warm, dewy, sunlit mornings forever. However, there is another part that craves pumpkin spice, cozy blankets, and a warm fire in the woodstove. But, mother nature doesn’t follow my feelings, so I guess I’ll keep my comfy sweaters tucked away for now!

So, are you team “Hold onto summer until the end of September” or team “Bring on the sweater weather, scented candles, and crinkly leaves as soon as August ends”?
