Hey guys! Just wanted to hop on and give you all a quick update, since we moved in a week ago!! GAH, I still can’t believe we are homeowners, now, AND that we’re back in Lexington!!! This really is a dream come true, for M. and I, to raise our family in Lexington, and God opened up the right doors for us to move back. Everything feels so familiar, and we’ve picked up right where we left off with our friends that it almost feels like we never left!
SO, what have we been up to, the last seven days?? We still have a few boxes left to unpack in our bedrooms, but for the most part, our home is 75% unpacked and set up–gotta hand it to the guys from Little Guys Movers, they were AWESOME!! 😀 It’s still pretty hot outside, so we haven’t had a chance to walk around as much as we would like to (and M. gets eaten up by mosquitoes anytime we’re out), but we’ve already walked to Graeter’s, and walked around on UK’s campus, so I call that a win. =)
But enough about what we’ve been up to, I’m DYING to get into fall!! Maybe it’s because I’m pregnant and that’s why I am so over humid weather–unless I am sitting in the shade or in a pool, being outside is miserable! Not to mention, our backyard seems to be Mosquito Headquarters…
Besides the weather and our annoying pest problem, most of my summer clothes are becoming less comfortable…as in, the number of summer clothes I can fit into is shrinking, and I am finding myself wearing the saaaame shorts/t-shirts over and over again! I’m not surprised, the exact same thing happened when I was pregnant with Lilly (at this exact same time of year), and I know that once the weather shifts, my options will be much more open.
But what about until then? I’ve been pinning fall and winter outfits like CRAZY on Pinterest, and looking through all of the fall outfits I’ve worn in the past (one of the perks of being a blogger, you’ve got your own style catalogue!), and one of the things I’ve been doing to inject some fall vibes into my current wardrobe is switching out my summer accessories for fall accessories. This outfit, for instance, is a pretty typical summer outfit for me (and the top still fits!), and I gave it a bit of a fall twist by wearing my burgundy tassel earrings and dark brown crossbody bag.
So, ladies, I know most of us are dying for cooler weather, because who likes walking into a furnace every time they walk outside, but unfortunately for those of us in the midwestern and southern states, we’ve still got lots of hot days ahead of us! *womp womp* Like, the entire month of August, I’m sure, will be a hot one…and probably September.
In the meantime, I’ll be trying my hardest to make my summer clothes stretch (literally), until I can finally break out my comfy leggings and cardigans. But until the weather cools off a bit, I’ll settle for wearing my fall accessories. 🙂 Since we still have some work to do to finish getting settled into our new house, I probably won’t be very active here on the blog, but I will try to keep updated on Instagram!
Stay Classy!
