Hello, readers!
I don’t know what is happening weather wise in your part of the world, but we have had a lovely week here on the prairie. We were blessed with 2 inches of rain, which finished making our bean crop, so the farmers around here can relax a little bit and enjoy the last days of summer. The temps are deliciously lower-I am even wearing a sweater this morning as I type this!
All this has me thinking about fall fashion. I haven’t done any research or bought a fashion magazine yet, but I do have a little want-to-buy list in my head. Here are a few things on it.
Stalking One: I’m crazy about this casual look. I would still love a pair of very lightly distressed jeans like these even though they have been around awhile now and may be on the way out. Who cares?!

Stalking Two: I have been wearing lots of cardigans the last few years, but would like to transition to more jackets. Comfortable, stretchy jackets. I found a cute black pleather one at Marshalls a couple of years ago and have worn it and worn it, so this year, I’m looking for a brown one. But it must be easy to wear and reasonably priced so I don’t have to be married to it for 10 years.
Stalking Three: I need a new pair of brown leather boots, too. I bought my last pair on sale at Macy’s about 5 years ago and have worn the heck out of them. I have jumbo calves, so I really want to find some with a wider opening this time so I don’t have to unzip them every whipstitch to allow my lower legs to calm down a bit when I wear them over jeans. Any suggestions, bigger calved sisters?
I would love a pair of Frye’s, but their $300 price tag makes them a NO for me. Even though I’ve been looking for 2 years, I’ll just keep trying to find some.
Stalking Four: A Kendra Scott necklace or earrings…… so cute!

That’s it for now! Saying YES to the PRESENT, so I’m not going to spend too much time thinking about fall as I wear my summer clothes for a few more weeks.
I had a lot of fun this season with the Get Your Pretty On Summer Challenge and will definitely participate in the Fall Challenge. Be on the lookout for sign-up information here.
So, friends, what are you dreaming of for Fall?
I would love a lightly distressed pair of jeans as well. I bought one pair but once I got them home they were just too distressed and made me feel like I was trying to be a 20 something (and I am far from it!) again. I love the "skinny" jeans (as long as they are not too skinny…I need to breathe ya know) to tuck into boots, a great way to keep the bottoms dry in our usual rainy weather. I have to say I am also loving that the wider legs are returning. As a 70's girl I remember having the bell bottoms and am loving some of the looks returning.
Hi Susan – I just found your blog! How fun! Can't wait to read more. Have you tried Sam Edelman or Naturalizer for wide calf boots? They're more reasonably priced than Frye, but still good quality and they make boots specifically for ladies with larger calves. We sold a ton when I was working at Nordstrom.
