86 and sunny to 55 and rainy in less than 24 hours…Yup, that was last Friday! But I can’t really complain, because now it’s officially layers and boot season and I am chomping at the bit. One of things I love about fall is comfy knit sweaters and thick boot socks….And Bean boots….and cups of hot cider. I love fall, ok?? A perfect fall day is when the sun is shining, a slight breeze is blowing, and it’s just cool enough to need a jacket but not too cold to be miserable.
While the husband and I were walking the trails, it was basically duck and cover from the the walnuts raining down from the trees. Did you know that squirrels like to drop their nuts from trees?? Yeah, me neither. And apparently they find it funny if people are walking underneath said trees. 😀
Now about these Bean boots; if you plan on purchasing a pair, I would suggest ordering them NOW before the weather actually turns cold. Remember the Polar Vortex from last year and the layers of ice and snow that lasted for weeks? Don’t wait until then. I made the mistake of trying to purchase a pair in November, and they were already on back-order until February…and then April…and by the time I actually got the size I needed, it was May. So, these little pretties have been sitting in my closet for the past few months, and yes I basically wished my summer away just so it would get cool enough for me to FINALLY break them out! 😀 And you know what I did when the weather finally got cool enough? Danced around my apartment, singing about how I could finally wear my boots. You can imagine how enthused M was! 😉
If you are wanting to order a pair of boots but unsure as to what size, I would recommend purchasing a size below your normal shoe size. Some reviewers recommended not sizing down if you plan on wearing your boots with thick socks, but for me I still needed to size down. If you all can think of a less expensive alternative to Bean boots (and the ones I listed), let me know because I am always on the lookout for a great deal to share with you!
Our hike through the trails was such a refresher for the soul. Does anyone else besides me feel completely relaxed and at peace when the breeze is just blowing, the sun is shining, and the leaves are beginning to change? What is it about crisp apples, warm blanket snuggles, and sweaters that have us so entranced? Even watching that silly squirrel hopping from branch to branch, dropping walnuts to the ground to bury was magical. I always thought that the walnuts just fell to the ground by themselves, squirrels are pretty smart creatures!
Looking forward to many more hikes and chilly fall days, and hoping that fall sticks around for awhile. What’s your favorite part about fall?
Stay Classy!
I totally agree that Bean boots should be ordered now. I love your jacket, and that bracelet is so cute! I would love to order one.

Same thing happened to me when unordered a pair after Christmas, but I adopted my mom's vintage 10 in pair while I was waiting. Her's are more than 20 years old, so they are totally worth the price bc they are built to last! ?❄️
