WIW: holding on to summer

Most of our own fruit harvests are in now (just pears remaining), and I was glad to take a breather today.  (Tomorrow, I'll check my normal road-side apple trees, and may be buried in fruit again).

The weather seems to be cooling off awfully quickly.  I'm not sure whether to think it's just a cool spell, or if this is a really early fall coming on.  Is it unusually cool where you live too?

Here's what I've worn the past few days - nothing special, I know :)

#1-2 worn yesterday.  I think I need to retire these jeans - they're giving me a muffin top.
#3-4 with new-to-me black knee-high boots (worn to work in the arctic A/C).  I think these boots will do nicely come fall/winter.  They're a tad big - so I can add an insole.
#5 worn around the house today to clean and organize.  Wish I'd gotten more done!

What are your suggestions?

    Amy I particularly like that sweater. It's gorgeous. Love it with this jeans and boots. Nicely put together outfits :)

    Thanks Deborah!  It's a recent acquisition (gotta love Goodwill).  And I like it too - minus the love-handles).

    We are having an usually cool August too.  Not getting the usual tomato harvest.  Wish I had apple trees :)  #3 is cool/mod with the boots and mod top.

    It's cooler than usual here, too, although they say it is supposed to warm up again through the week. 

    The sweater's fun! Of course I am partial to the fuchsia bits...

    Love the color black sweater!  Looks fantastic on you!

    Love the color blocked sweater!  It would work well with a skirt, too, I think.  The madras shorts are a wonderful fit and a happy bit of preppy for the end of Summer.  These shorts would be great with a dark lightweight sweater, or a denim jacket topper!

    Think of all the yummy fruit you'll have over the winter!

    Great sweater!

    It's been cool except today is back to hot. I am not going to get much of a tomato harvest this year.

    I have two bags of apples from my brother's farm so I need to get on those soon!

    That is a fab sweater and I like how you styled it. Beth Ann is right, it would look great with a skirt. Nice casual shorts outfit too, just perfect for getting jobs done and feeling cool. Your fruit harvest sound fab!

    I like the colour-blocked sweater and it looks nice paired with those boots.

    Lovely color blocked sweater.  I think it would also work with a buttown down white shirt layered underneath it in an outfit remix.  We are aslo getting cooler weather, but only in the morning and at night right now.

    Love the colour block sweater - it's so versatile!
    Our weather has been all over the map - there's definitely a fall feel to the air.
    Up at my SO's sister's farm it was 10 on the weekend!
