It’s That Time of Year Again
It’s back, folks. That time of year when everyone and anyone will begin layering for the sake of layering, wearing jackets because they miss wearing them. Sliding on a pair of jeans instead of a pair of shorts because it’s slightly less hot out than normal. And you know what? We’re in full support of the movement…
That’s right. While it may be trite and a little contrived, we’re okay with it all. Summer’s too long and too miserable to go without some sort of reprieve. Waking up this morning and checking my iGoogle homepage and seeing that the current temperature was 63 degrees elicited an almost euphoric sense of purpose for the day. Yes. Today will be a jeans day, a jeans day with a t-shirt and a button down. It will be perfect.
Hold on to these times folks, it’s not going to last. That’s what makes Fall so great. It’s the only time of the year where we can embrace layering back up and getting cozy in the name of getting cozy. In reality, it’s probably close to 70 out, if not warmer, a time where, come mid-March, we’ll all be sporting shorts and t-shirts and sandals, urging a welcomed end to a dreadful winter. But for now, we’re amidst the time that glorifies blankets and hoodies and socks. And I for one couldn’t be more excited.
It’s a time where the windows are down, but convertibles go away for the winter, their owners resolute to the onset of a season devoid of breezes and full of winds. It’s a time where the morning welcomes the return of dew and fog and eventually, the sight of your own breath. It’s a time for coffee without ice cubes accompanied by the occasional pair of shorts topped off with a long-sleeve T. I could go on and on…
So please, embrace all of this, and enjoy this time. Force the hell out of an outfit that consists solely of your archaic, dust-ridden Fall adornments. Shake ‘em off and put ‘em on and attack the day. Trust us, you’ll feel good about it.
it’s 109° out today. stripping off clothing is not enough – i literally want to peel my skin off to cool down. F your 63°. F it in it’s stupid little A.
I got into my car after work and it said it was 119…..seriously! I didn’t know a place on earth could be that hot…eff this valley!
I love the fall. I hate the summer and its miserable humidity ruining the outdoors for us all. (I’m in Virginia, but I know humidity ruins the outdoors for people everywhere.)
Thanks to fall, we spent the weekend camping in perfect weather. I donned jeans during the day and as the sun set I was able to pull on my favorite fleece. It was a dream.
