Orange Skirt Green Shirt

Today I am dressed like fall. Orange skirt. green shirt. A friend of mine said once that hunter green was super out. Made me laugh. Isn't is funny how we all have our own standards of what is and is not acceptable? I love that. I love that a dear friend of mine can think this green is gross and I can think it is awesome and both thoughts are totally fine. Oh opinions!

I really love the fall, it is my favorite season.
I love the colors
I love the smells
I love the crunch of leaves under walking feet.
I love drinking hot chocolate and apple cider
I love being bundle up in warm clothes.
I love that first bite in the air when things start to get cold.
I love fall clothes, I feel like it is my perfect style; loads of layer and boots.
I love boots.
I love that in the fall I get to dress for the cold, I am always cold
I love being able to cuddle clothes without feel overheated and sweaty.
I love General Conference and General R.S Meeting
I just love everything about the fall

except that it means winter is coming.

I don't love the winter.
I don't love the snow
I don't love cleaning snow off my car, off the walkways, or off of clothes as you walk inside
I don't love driving in bad weather
I don't love spending most of the time looking ragged, wet, and totally gross (oh memories from Rexburg, ID)
I don't love flat yucky hair from hats or snow or wind.
I don't love static-y hair from coats and hats
I don't love, in fact I abhor being wet and cold, big reason why I am not fond of the snow.
I don't care for winter sports so I don't have that to get me excited.

The only thing I like about winter is holidays, hot drinks, and soup. I am probably being melodramatic, I am sure there is more to like about the winter. In fact maybe that will be my goal this year. I will look for likable things about the winter.

But, it isn't hard to like the fall, the fall is the best. Did I mention I love the fall? I really really do.

(another really poor quality picture, but you get the idea. I used to say I didn't care about the camera on my cell phone, I may have misspoke. See that belt? That was my grandpa's army uniform belt. I haven't found occasion to wear it in a while but I find it really charming. I love to wear things or have things that have had another life before me, especially if that other life was with someone I love. That army belt next to my green makes that look more like and army green color, huh?)
