..home on the range..

First of all, I just want to apologize for the infrequency of posts lately.  I have had to reprioritize my time a bit, and unfortunately outfit posts are not topping the list.  Actually it seems like I have been seeing a trend among some of my fellow bloggers having the same issue.  I guess life catches up with everyone every now and then.  

Today the weather was really great.  We get so few of those perfect days in this region so my husband and I took advantage and went for a walk on the family land.  It is kind of hard to believe, but I have lived here for 4 and 1/2 years and this is the first time that I have gone the full length of the property.  It is also a bit hard to believe that I have owened these boots for about 4 months and this is the first time I have worn them.  Hope you enjoy these photos because I really enjoyed taking them.

 

 This is me at the very farthest part of the land.  Our house is at the top of the hill that is in the background.

We barely made it back before sundown but still had time to stop and say hello to Jupiter on the eastern horizon. All the items I have on are thrifted vintage except for the jeans, they are from Target.  Take care till next time.

..ready for fall..

Today, the weather was so refreshing. For a change, it was cloudy with some light rain and about 20 degrees cooler than it has been for several months now.  Aside from the breath of fresh air that the cooler temperatures bring, fall is also a time that I really love because I enjoy the natural color pallet the re-addition of scarves, tights, and all of the other cozy garments.  This season I have already gotten a feel for what I am sort of gearing toward in my wardrobe.  Though my tendancy is to wear a ton of neutrals with gray, black, and brown, I really feel the need to incorporate a pop of color, and I really love muted but bold colors for fall.  I am keeping an eye out for mustard yellow, burgundy, dusty blues and pinks, dark teal, and so on, so forth.  Since the weather was so lovely today I went ahead and implemented my plan.  

While I am on the subject, here is another example of my fall inspiration.  I was over at one of my favorite blogs, Calivintage, and she is hosting a giveaway in correlation with the amazing vintage shop, clever nettle, which challenges you to make a set on polyvore using some of the items from her shop.  Let me tell you that there are so many great items that it was hard to narrow it down to just a couple.  There is only one night left for the contest, but there is still a discount offered for Calivintage readers until Sept 7th!  Here is what I came up with...

The skirt and hat are the items I chose to feature from the shop.  I wish I really had this outfit =)
