The best season ever.
Since I've spent the last 26 years living in the greater Phoenix metropolitan area I have basically never had a good and proper fall. It's sad to admit, but leaves don't even change colors here until well into January, when it is finally cold enough. So even though I say I love fall, I basically love the idea of fall.
Seriously though. It's an obsession. I love everything fall. The sights, the smells, the tastes...
As I type this I am burning a Cashmere Woods candle by Glade (oh my GOD, it smells delicious) and sipping on the Republic of Tea's Pumpkin Ginger Spice black tea from my orange hued owl mug. Even though the air conditioning is running, we are in FULL FALL MODE over here, people.

My love of the season extends to clothing as well. The burnt hues and mustards! I can't... I just... there are no words for how much I love autumnal hues. This outfit made my day so much more fall friendly. Despite the temperatures being in the low 100's, I was convinced that every breeze had a subtle tinge of chilly attached to it.

There is just an excitement attached to fall, perhaps it is the barrage of occasions. Starting with school starting and my birthday and continuing on through Thanksgiving, there seems to always be something to be excited about during fall.
And boy howdy does fall go by quickly...
Between school and work and midterms and blah and blah and blah, I really need to be on top of things to get the most out of the season. The last two years in a row I haven't been able to carve pumpkins or dress up for Halloween with Bahb because I had stupid projects and tests, so this year I'm determined to keep shit under control so I can have time to indulge in all of the trappings of autumn.
Even if I have to keep the damn air conditioning down extra low to make sweaters and hot tea bearable, I will be doing that. Because it's fall, weather (HA! a pun!) the Phoenix metropolitan area chooses to behave accordingly or not.
Am I alone in this fixation?! Fall is freaking fantastic, right?!

I may be more excited about fall if I lived in a warmer climate but in Canada it just reminds me that the horror of winter is just around the corner! I do however love the pattern mixing and hues in your outfit, what a funky outfit!
