Fall, is that you? (Part II)

I am still so very excited that fall is in the air! A and I went to the pool on Sunday last weekend and the temperature has definitely dropped a few degrees because the water was COLD! I don't do cold water and just dipped my toes in. I'm very excited that football season has started and I'm ready to see some changing leaves. Oh, and let's not forget I live in my state's capital where the STATE FAIR is! Looking forward to that!

This is about as country as it gets and I can't believe I'm about to admit this, but I remember in high school when I was in FFA the BIG THING was to go to the state fair. A school bus would take all the FFA'ers to the state fair and it was the THE event of the year!! The bus left school very early, about 7 AM, so on that day I had to get up at 5 AM to feed the horses and do my ridiculous teenage amount of hair and makeup.

So to get back on track, the reason of this post is that I need some new clothes! Yes, a clothes horse like myself, in need of clothes, believe it or not! I think all of us, when the seasons change, have to get rid of some old stuff that maybe isn't in the best condition anymore, never really fit just right, or we're never going to wear again. I have had to clean out some old sweaters and winter clothes that didn't fit anymore or have stretched way out or were worn out. I am in desperate need of some new things! Part of my problem is that my old job, {where I worked for 3 years} was much more casual than where I am now. My church is super casual too so church clothes won't help me out any! My new office only allows jeans on casual Fridays, where as at my old job I wore jeans probably three days a week. I wore dark trouser jeans (usually Paige Jeans), not holey casual jeans, but still I wore jeans. I really have to invest in some new dress pants. I already have black dress pants (although I could stand to have a second pair) and I'm really wanting some grey or charcoal dress pants.
I don't seem to have any cardigans anymore either. I think my Mom stole one or two! And the others just wore out. A wears cardigans all the time and I think they are precious. So very Trophy Wife (wouldn't I love to be one!!). I'm thinking navy (to wear w/ grey pants) and a few other colors.

I'm also just dying to have some boots for fall. The last boots I had tore up long ago.
I'm going to hit up TJMaxx and Ross before I go to the mall. I've given myself a budget to stick to and it's important that I stick to it since I have a big trip (New Orleans) coming up next month. I'll let you know how successful I am!

Now I have to go get caught up on all of your blogs since I never seem to have time to blog anymore!
