That Awesome Autumn Weather

We are deep in the heart of an autumn fling.

The early part of September is spent mourning August’s break-up. Then by the middle of autumn, our attitude slips into a sweet honeymoon of post-summer surreality. The golden light of October (playing the role of calendrical Fireball shots) makes us verbalize such uninhibited and inebriated thoughts as, “I don’t miss the heat at all!” Or, “What even is a tan?” Somehow, we manage to not text July anything stupid like, “I still want you.”

We instead devote our attention to crisp chills and crunchy leaves and reviving our sweater collection. We tell our boots and scarves and turtlenecks that after a bit of distance, we’re ready to get back together. That we love them.

And we do, but…

Much in the same way that we hyperbolize feelings toward a summer dalliance for the sake (and relief) of a ticking clock, we’re far more romantic about the wardrobe that will inevitably support our uniform for the looming cold front. Because for the last few weeks of October, clothes can be worn without a care in the world.

Sweaters can be paired with skirts

That are worn without tights

And maybe a sandal

But also, a boot could work.

Weirdly, too, could a jacket.

With a tank top! But also a knit vest, ankle socks and you, know, whatever the hell else you so please. Because this is that awesome in-between weather. Kiss it now before it’s gone.
