Monthly Musings: Fall Decorating And Fashion Preview

I tried really hard to link up in time for this blog party but, as has been happening lately, life interfered (also known as, no access to internet at dance). Boo. Today I'm talking about Fall Decorating and Fashion Preview with Holly who blogs at Pink Lady and Patty who blogs at Good, Better, Best. You all know that the fashion questions aren't my strong suit so hold those answers very lightly :)

1) Share how you decorate for fall.

I don't go all out for decorating. I have my new pumpkins from Janice and I've been loving them. They bring just a touch of fall to our house. I do tend to have more fall flowers outside.

2) Halloween decor - yes or no?

That is a big NO from me! I really don't love Halloween. 

3) Pumpkins, corn stalks, or hay bales?

I really love pumpkins, and this year I found a really fun one. 

 

4) Favourite fall fashion pieces?

I really like flannel shirts. I got a few new ones in August and I'm so excited to wear them when the weather gets cooler.

 

I don't have a picture of me wearing them yet but this is what I got. Image from here. 

5) How do you transition your wardrobe?

I really struggle with this. These past couple of weeks we've had cool mornings but then really hot afternoons. Layers are so important for me right now -- cardigans and flannel shirts are good layers for me at this time of year.

6) Do you decorate inside and out?

I really don't do much decorating at this time of year. I have my pumpkins inside and then outside I have a front step display and some fun plants in my window boxes. It's pretty low key around here.

7) Favourite fall scents?

I'm sure the hosts meant perfume but I don't wear that. Thus, my favourite fall scents are applesauce simmering and the crisp leaves. 

 

8) Go-to fall outfit?

A flannel shirt and some colourful Converse and I'm a happy fall girl. 

 

9) Do you change your make-up/skin care for fall?

Well since I don't wear make-up ever, nor do I have a skin care routine, I don't do anything different in the fall :) 

10) What makes your house feel cozy for fall?

I love when soup is simmering and bread is baking. That makes the house feel so cozy for fall. Especially if I'm smelling these scents as I'm sitting under a blanket! 

We've had some warmer weather lately and I'm just so ready for the cooler days of fall. If I can't be on summer break, then don't be giving me summer weather! Writing this post makes me even more excited for the cozy days of fall sweaters and cooler temperatures. Bring on fall!
