I am getting SO excited about fall {and October!} arriving, but I am staying true to my rule about no pumpkin-flavored anything or decor. That being said, it has cooled down here and it is officially the time of year for knit blankets, soup for dinner {most nights}, darker lipstick and nail polish, and early fall clothes {like longer skirts and vests!}. These are my early fall necessities below:
