Quintessential fall

This is probably my favorite fall outfit. It's comfortable, cozy and simple. I want to wear it everyday, and I sort of have been.

These are also my favorite photos, because the autumn foliage is beautifully captured, and while the yellows, oranges and reds are quite beautiful, I still don't think they hold a candle to the pinks and whites of the trees blossoming with flowers in the spring.

Change is constant. It should be anyway, I can't be resistant to it, or afraid of it. I keep digging my heels in so deep I'm going to ruin my shoes. I need to change, to let go, and grow. If the old leaves didn't fall off during the autumn, the new ones couldn't grow in the spring.

  9. I love this time of year for the foliage as well. I am definitely rushing to make sure I can capture every bit of the leaves falling before it becomes boring, stark winter.

  11. Now there's positive thinking! Though I do agree--it is more beautiful to watch things growing and coming to life than it is to watch them dying. I looooooove your jacket and yes, these photos are just stunning. We've lucked out in our fall weather this season to which I am eternally grateful. It makes it so much more tolerable.

  14. Oh those leaves! There aren't a lot of them changing yet in New York, although maybe I should get to Central Park and then report back on that again.

    I love this outfit. It's just so... fall-y.

  19. The colours in this outfit are wonderful - and the yellow leaves are the perfect accent to them. It's this kind of put together but effortless style that I love best. And as for change, I think we all struggle with it to a degree, especially when changes don't seem to be particularly positive... but everything does happen for a reason and most changes come along to help us learn important lessons. Or at least that's what I tell myself when I wonder why, in spite of all of my efforts and wishes, I couldn't stay in Paris ;)

  30. Love your leather jacket and faux fur collar. And you're so right about fall. But just remember, spring will be here before you know it!

  31. I, too, am awful at change. Whether that be switching from one art project to the next or simply waking up a few minutes earlier, change is hard.

    These leaves are so so pretty, Lyddie! Of course they could never compare to your flower blossoms. That necklace is something fierce, and I love that jacket, too! *___* fashionable laaaady!
