If I could describe my closet in three words, they would be:

Neutral. 
Denim. 
PLAID.

I have a wide variety of plaid button downs from multiple stores, but this tunic takes the cake. It's so comfortable (made with 100% rayon) and easy to throw over a pair of jeans or cinched around the waist on warmer days. Old Navy always has a ton of deals, so I got this bad boy with a 20% off coupon. I recommend sizing up a little if you like your shirts a little more loose (like moi).

ALSO was feeling a little inspired by a classic southern look this morning; I got Nashville on the mind and nothing else. We're looking to book a last-minute trip to my favorite city and I can hardly stand it. My Pinterest board was blowing up this morning as I try to look up everything I want  to see/hear/eat while I am there. Fingers crossed it all works out! Cause you know there be a blog post while I am there too ;) Keep ya in the loop!

I have been dreaming of decorating our front porch for fall AS SOON as we signed our names on mortgage statement (YES! DEBT! At least it will be cute). But since we didn't move in until mid-December, I've had to wait an agonizing 10 months until now...and I couldn't be happier <3

Tom and I were on the hunt all day on Saturday for our front porch decor. We ended up finding most of our fall gold at Home Depot and Ikea. We also had to make a quick stop at Target for our pumpkin mat (while squeezed in-between these corn stalks in my tiny car). Besides adding the laterns and hay bales, we took the opportunity to change out our front light to go with our Colonial-style house. Perfect for the fall time AND will look great with our Christmas lights in December.

I think we are the earliest to decorate in our neighborhood, but it's September, people! My pumpkin spice tastes even better sitting in this fabulously festive spot. And just saw 40% off of Halloween costumes/candy today at Target only. Both will be patiently waiting in my downstairs closet, but hey. If I can wait 10 months for my favorite season of the year, that will be a piece of cake (or candy, more accurately).

Anyone else struggling with this Midwest September weather? I feel like as soon as I started to unpack my plaid scarves and tall boots, the sun just chuckled at me and turned its heat all the way back up to 90 degrees...prompting me to once again drag out my shorts and tees.

**Still getting that PSL, of course. Iced.**

This makes planning for my day's apparel pretty time-consuming. I typically drive to work with a jacket on and my car's heat (& Thomas Rhett's new CD) on full-blast. But by the end of the day, my car becomes an instant sauna and I dread my morning decision to break out my favorite plaid shirt.

However, the one good thing about this weather is getting to mix some elements from my fall and summer wardrobe. This cold-shoulder tank is perfect for on its own OR adding a cute denim jacket on chillier mornings. My favorite felt hat and jeans are also perfect for catching some of summer's last few rays, while keeping me warm as the temperatures drop throughout the evening. Thinking of wearing this ensemble to the farmers market this weekend, while getting to pick out a sweet summer tomato AND a small pumpkin for the front porch.

 Change is hard. But it doesn't have to be unfashionable.

What's better than cozying up with on a chilly fall morning, wrapped in a giant fluffy blanket, a PSL in one hand, a book in the other and tiny little autumn fairies giving you a foot massage?

THIS TANK TOP.

The basic-ness of my soul was drawn in when I saw this little number displayed at my local Target. Because I am one of the few, with a countdown in her phone until official PSL season begins. 

Anything pumpkin spice related, you will find it in my shopping bag.

Coffee? Duh.

Trail mix? Of course.

Cough drops? Gross.

**Quickly throws them in the cart anyway**

Plus, I love the softness and versitaility of this tank - perfect to layer under an oversized cardigan or with a cute boyfriend plaid button-up. I kept this look simple with a burgandy knit sweater, jeans and some funky flats.

So to all my fellow PSL-lovers out there - I expect to see you donning this shirt along with me during the next few months. That way, as we bump elbows in line at Starbucks or see each other with mountain of pumpkin spice goods in our carts, we will give each other the silent nod and lift our cups in a "cheers" to our favorite season here once again.
