Hello, welcome, and thanks for stopping by my blog!
I live in Maryland,
and October is a most glorious month here, weather-wise
For the most part, it is in that warm sweet spot-
mostly sunny, with temperatures in the 70's
In retail-land however, the world is ramping up for fall,
and has been since when...July?
I like to savor the end of the summer season,
and revel in the beautiful transitional weather outside
It will be a week or two
until I seriously start changing out my wardrobe
for the chillier months ahead
For now, during these wonderful bridge months,
I am adapting by wearing some seasonable color,
light layers, more substantial jewelry and accessories,
and some darker florals
Since I live on an island, that is off a peninsula,
I am literally surrounded by water π¦
You can probably imagine the enthusiasm for water sports, here
Almost everyone in the area
wants to stretch out the time they can enjoy them

This is one of those places where some people doggedly
wear shorts and flip-flops until it snows!
(Not me, though)
Is this type of determination to keep the summer alive
seen in your area?
For today I am styling a supremely comfortable outfit
with a teal short sleeve wrap tee shirt dress
It is so unbelievably soft, yet constructed of a substantial knit
I love the draped and gathered wrap style,
and think in elevates this simple dress
I picked out some gold and brass tone jewelry pieces
that I wear all year round
My birds-in-flight statement necklace,
open organic shaped cuff bracelet
and wreath stud earrings
Carrying a quilted denim clutch
with a detachable wrist strap
Below, a photo of Roger and I this summer
I am wearing the same dress with lighter accessories,
and he has chosen a fun matching geometric print tie
Teal is a great transitional color
Here is as outfit in the color from the archives:
Autumn 2019!
A sheer tie waist print blouse in teal, black and shades of blue
paired with a teal pleated midi skirt
Getting in the spirit of the season with a fall theme centerpiece of found objects and a market gourd
Hope everyone enjoys their week!
