Note to all: if you’re shopping for scarves, CHECK THE FIBER CONTENT! There are unscrupulous places on the internet selling perfectly nice polyester scarves for the same price as wool and cashmere scarves! And if you dig just a bit, the exact same scarves are available for literally 20% of the “wool/cashmere” price. A shocking, opportunistic stunt that’s taking advantage of a brand name…
Quintessentially Autumn
Every year, usually in October, there are hundreds of them, just in the US: “Autumn Glory” (in Oakland Maryland), the Springs Festival (in Springs, Pennsylvania) and tons of others – FALL FESTIVALS!!!
These are just two that were part of my childhood…
Get yourself something cider and pumpkin, wear your fall clothes, admire the leaves, and the decorations, and the wee children in costumes – what could be a better long weekend?
And could these be better colors for your road trip?
I personally believe that every woman living in an even remotely cool climate should own two flannel shirts. You think you won’t wear them, and then one day you realize you’ve had them BOTH on this week, and you can’t imagine living without them…
And one of you genius heroines pointed out just in the last few days how much you depend on tan leather goods… How perfect for this time of year!
Today’s heroine packs late on Thursday night – and smiles with anticipation…
There’s literally no way to do this wrong – unless you start wearing your shirts as skirts and putting your pants on your head. In which case, call me before you leave the Bed and Breakfast, okay?
Since Belovedest and I have had to cancel our trip to London and Paris this week (we were to have left on Thursday afternoon…), this might be what we do, once or twice, in the next month or so…
No chance on Planet Janice was I flying to Europe with seven broken ribs!
love,
Janice

Sometimes fall outfits are too brown for my liking. This with the rust and cream is right up my alley! I hope you are feeling better. You must have had quite a tumble.

Good to see you feeling well enough to post. I wasn’t sure you would. Our neighbor got COVID the day before they were to leave for Spain – just so you don’t feel alone! I love everything about this. Fall is just my favorite time of year both in nature and the wardrobe. I wear flannel shirts almost year-round by themselves or toppers. Can’t have too many in my book. Much to my surprise I’m adding orange and red this year to go with the greens I already have. Sheer awesomeness. Today a coworker told me I look like a work of art. I’m not quite sure about that, but I do love my fall colors. Thank you Janice – and I”ll definitely have to take a look at that bracelet!

I’m delighted to see that the broken ribs didn’t break your sense of humor.
