Jacket Weather

Autumn is in full swing here in Missouri. It's the little in-between things that make this season so great. Testing cozy recipes, breaking out jackets and coats for the season, hot tea and extra snuggles from our pups.

I also LOVE when all the leaves start changing colors. Some years are more colorful than others (which I think has to do with rainfall or something). Every year when the leaves turn bright red and orange it always makes me think of our dad. He isn't exactly a photography enthusiast although I've gone with him more than once to drive around our town to find the best colorful trees in the autumn to snap pictures of. I don't think he does this every year, but it was certainly an obsession for a little while. And he had a knack for finding the most colorful trees. I think the obsession grew in part out of his love of plants and gardening. Anyway, the leaves changing colors always makes me think of him.

We are working with the super nice folks over at Golden Tote for this post. If you haven't heard of them, they have a pretty unique business model. Essentially, you choose 1 or 2 items, tell them your style, and they send you a whole goody bag of clothing and accessories! Here's what we're wearing from our October Golden Totes, all of which is available on their site now—

Elsie's wearing: Vegan Leather Jacket, Zipper Leggings (surprise item)

Emma's wearing: Stylish Sophisticate Dress, Fall Cardigan (surprise item)

Cheers to hot apple cider and crunchy leaves. xx. Elsie
