My latest fall fashion purchase is a long cardigan in a wonderful burnt orange which I pair with a black Eileen Fisher dress, a black and grey tiger stripe gauze scarf and my new Regarde Ciel boots. You would look good in it! <br /><br />I think you are travelling soon? Have a lovely fall and hope to see you early in the new year. Brenda.

Glad you had a good visit with your friend (so close!) but that's a big jump in temperature to figure packing for -- we'll probably be as chilly as you anticipated next week, although these past few days, it's been easy to pretend summer's not quite over.

The few times I wander into shops, so much of what initially catches my eye is easily put back on its hanger when I see the quality of construction or of the fabric itself. Of course, the corollary of this is steeling myself to pay the price of that quality fabric and construction when I find the pieces I hope to be wearing ten years hence. . . Thank you for the command about the pies (you may have intended it as a wish, but I'm choosing to hear it as a command) -- I'm toting three along to my daughter's to contribute to the feast: two, the traditional pumpkin, and one, the apple pie my son-in-law and granddaughter registered their preference for.

I would imagine there's much you'd wear in your hot summers and/or your cold winters that wouldn't work well in transition times. Your highs and lows are so much more extreme than ours and your transitions shorter. Hope you don't need to be wiggling feet into snow boots anytime soon, but I did see that a friend currently driving through Alberta remarked on a snowfall there. . . .materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-62009733360281376532017-10-08T16:52:43.978-07:002017-10-08T16:52:43.978-07:00I know what you mean about the college students.
