Yesterday was a perfect autumn day: Brilliant blue sky, crisp air, and the nice sunshine that is still strong enough during the day to make the air warm and balmy.
I spent all day yesterday burning the excess firewood that we can't leave behind and don't want to take with us. The fire burnt for 9 hours, and was intensely satisfying. The best meditation I know!
Today the rain has returned, and we keep hearing varying reports of impending storms/hurricanes (depending on the source). Let's hope the hurricane-camp is wrong.
Speaking of rain: Have you read Liane Moriarty's latest book, Truly Madly Guilty? I just started it, and I can't put it down. It's so suspenseful and gripping, I can't wait to find out what happened during that barbecue. I'm just over halfway through, so no spoilers please!

A nine hour fire sounds amazing! Love your outfit. It is so perfect for fall. I am definitely going to have to put that book on my to read list.
ReplyDeleteI finished it today, and it is really great. Read it! I highly recommend it. Liane Moriarty is a wonderful writer.
DeleteYay for tights and scarves. I'm curious about what you love about booties, because I just can't get on board with them. In fact they are on a list in a blog post I'm working on entitled "Things I don't get."
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely fall day yesterday - hope you don't get hurricane conditions.
I am like 97th on the list at the library to get Truly Madly Guilty. Maybe I should listen to it on Audible? I listened to The Husband's Secret and it's probably my favorite Moriarty book.
Mine too. I just finished "Truly Madly Guilty",and it's in my top 3 of Liane's books. The Husband's Secret is #1, but "What Alice Forgot" and "Truly Madly Guilty" are a tie. I'd say, go with Audible. It's so worth it!
DeleteThe 3 top reasons why I love booties are
1. They are easy to wear (boots sometimes get too hot, or pants don't fit properly into them)
2. I love the way they look with skirts and dresses
3. They show off cute tights.
Seriously, give booties a try!
Love the outfit! I need to get new tights and try pulling this look off. Why wouldn't the new owners want firewood? That's just crazy. They must be inside people.
ReplyDeleteYup, they are. They also want to build their own house in a different spot and rent our house out. I'm fine with it, I got a very enjoyable, huge fire out of it!
DeleteDressing for fall is seriously easy: Every girl looks cute in tights, boots and a dress. Try it, you'll love it! Wear one of your eShakti dresses, they transition beautifully into fall 😊🍂
You look adorable in this outfit Miriam. I want to recreate it with one of my many little white dresses. =)
ReplyDeleteI welcome you to stop by my blog as well. I run a linkup every Thursday. =) Do come by and join my latest linkup, beautiful! Thanks and enjoy the weekend! Oh and I need to read that book. The title itself makes me want to lol. I am currently reading "Girl on the Train" and it is very very good.

Ada. =)
I've read "Girl on a train", and really enjoyed the beginning, but wasn't loving the end. Still a good book though, and they are making it into a movie!
DeleteI finished "Truly Madly Guilty" and I loved it. A great book!
P.S. I have been linking up with your Thursday link-up for a while! :-)
Cute outfit! I love the scarf! I love a good suspensful book! I'll have to check this one out at the library!

Do it, I highly recommend it!!
DeleteThanks for stopping by! :-)
Such a great way to layer up a little white dress - the red scarf and denim jacket are perfect with it and the tights and boots make it cold weather appropriate :)
ReplyDeleteHope that you have a wonderful weekend and the weather isn't as bad as predicted!
Away From The Blue Blog
It wasn't, the worst of the storm bypassed us. Phew! But lots and lots of rain :-(
DeleteFall layering is so much fun, I love it with all my heart. You get to wear your entire wardrobe, summer- and winter-clothes! Its awesome.
It was raining when I woke up this morning and I was so incredibly happy about it.
ReplyDeleteAnd then I remembered we have traffic.
I love your outfit! I don't miss winter, but I DO miss scarves!
Ugh, rain and traffic don't mix. We've had so much rain this fall, I'm thoroughly sick of it. Give me snow with sunshine any day! ❄🌞
DeleteAmazing photos, Beautiful! Thanks so much for linking up with Fun Fashion Friday!
