Ya'll...I want it to be fall so bad! Unfortunately, it is still over 100 degrees outside. We are literally melting over here. Better set out those fall candles so it can at least smell like fall!
According to my house, we have officially entered fall. There are pumpkins on the mantel, warm colors are making their way back into the rooms, and I'm fully prepared for cozy evenings.
According to the thermometer? Absolutely not. But I've decided I don't need Mother Nature's permission to start entering fall. Let's face it, if I waited for actual sweater weather around here, I might be decorating for Christmas before I ever got to wear one!
So, the pumpkins are coming out anyway!
I've been adding rusts, oranges, browns, and deeper greens. A few pumpkins here, some fall leaves there, and a cozy throw tossed on the couch. Now am I actually using that throw? No. It is 100 degrees. That thing is strictly decorative at this point. But I am enjoying looking at it! And the minute the sun goes down, I'm turning on the lamps and enjoying all that warm, cozy lighting. Fall may not have arrived outside yet, but inside this house, we're pretending!
I have also made the house smell like fall with some pretty amazing diffuser oils!
The Mississippi Whiskey isn't necessarily fall, it's just my go-to all year. The MainStay oil is in the Fall Farmhouse scent and came from Wal-Mart. The Vanilla Pumpkin oil smells very sweet and came from the TikTok Shop via my mother (who LOVES the TikTok Shop).
I am slowly trying to make the summer to fall transition with my clothing as well. I found the cutest little Birkenstock Mary Jane's and thought they would be perfect! They are also very comfortable.
So yes, it is still 100 degrees outside.
Yes, my air conditioner is running.
And yes, there are pumpkins all over my house.
We're calling it fall anyway! Now somebody please tell Arkansas that summer is OVER!
Much Love,
Beth
