So long summer . . .

tee: old navy  short& sandals: old navy  bracelets: chloe vs. tank  necklace: groopdealz

I'm thinking this will be my last time wearing shorts this year.
 Whether the weather agrees with me or not, now that it is September I want to put my shorts away and move onto Fall clothes. 

Even though school has started and I feel like summer is already over, 
this weekend seems to make it more official.  
Here are some of my summer highlights:

camping with my family
taking my niece to Medieval Times for her birthday

spending a day in Lake Gevena with Lauren

spending time (and even making a craft) with Lauren and Lauren 

getting an extra week with some alone time with my nephew and niece

trying to be more adventurous

accomplishing some successful projects (sailboat tee, maxi dress, statement necklace)

I hope you had a great summer and are ready for Fall!

Now when is it an appropriate time to put up Fall decorations?  
because I am ready. 

Pin It!

    I love this recap! I can't believe summer is already over. TOO weird! I think we can put Fall decorations up now, right??

    Enjoy your holiday tomorrow! :)

    I was just asking the boyfriend if it was ok if pumpkins started appearing around the house! I'm so ready for fall weather even though it is a hot and humid 90 here in MO. Even though I lurve the summer, I want my cozy sweaters, tall boots, and bonfires.

    I put my fall decor up on Friday! I just wish the candy corn would hop out onto the store shelves...
    I really love the mini-bubble-necklace.

    I am so ready for fall. I dug out my fall wreath but I think I will wait until at least the 15th before I put it up! I already have our trips to the apple orchard and pumpkin patch planned. It's still so incredibly hot here so I am really waiting for it to cool down before its "official"

    Everyone is saying summer is over but for me it still means lots of beach time! I've already seen Halloween candy in stores which means you can probably decorate now :)

    I can not wait until the weather is "fall-ish"! We thought it was cooling down here in Denver but the last couple of days have been in the 90's. Ridiculous! I'm glad you had such a fun summer, I hope fall will be just as great!

    Love the top in the first pic, so cute! Summer is pretty much gone, isn't it? Looks like you had a great (and productive) one :) I say hold off putting up fall decorations till the leaves start to change!

    I really like those longer shorts... and that's what I said last week... and then it's been in the 90's - summer is sticking around (at least in MN!)
