Last Outfit of Summer & Link Up On the Edge #15
Today marks the Autumn Equinox or the first official day of Fall! And I couldn’t be more excited since I love all things Fall…the temperatures, the colors, football, pumpkin everything, hot apple cider, homemade soup and chili, the fireplace, and of course, the fashion. So as I say goodbye to summer (very gleefully, I might add), I thought I would share with you one last outfit of summer…which I wore yesterday…on the last official day of Summer.
How beautiful is my friend/photographer Amy’s yard for photos? And she tells me it is totally breathtaking when the leaves really change color. So I am super excited to feature lots of my Fall outfits in her yard…if she doesn’t get sick of me!
I am thinking I can pair this cute black eyelet dress with tights and boots when the weather cools down…which, according to the weather forecast, should be tomorrow! You have no idea how excited cooler weather can make a perimenopausal, over-heated, sweaty, middle-aged woman! Until the hormones give me a chill. And that definitely happens. But then I just live in my beloved scarves until June! Literally. I sometimes sleep with a scarf around my neck if I get too chilled. And that’s totally fine by me. Because you all know how much I love my scarves.

Some fun photos before we start linking up…
Every time we try to take pictures at Amy’s house, her dogs want to play!
And then she makes me clean…
Thank you to every one who stops by every week and joins my link up. I really appreciate your continued support! This past week got a little crazy for me and I did not have the opportunity to comment on every post that was linked up. I am working way through each and every post, however, because I love to see what you all are wearing, sharing, and discussing. If I don’t get the chance to comment, I have been trying to pin and/or tweet all of your posts as well!
This week, I have three favorite links to share!
Yvonne of Funky Forty shared all the fun details of her 2 Heavenly Days in Bregenzerwald-Austria spent with Annette of Lady of Style. Don’t thet both look so fabulous?!
Terri of Meadow Tree looks so chic in her Blue Cabbie! I really am inspired by this outfit!
And Shannon of Gamine and Stripes looks amazing in her Gingham and Slim Jeans! Gingham is my jam and I adore red, white, and blue together!
So tell me, are you all ready for Fall? Where are you favorite places to shoot photographs when the leaves start changing?
Watching Autumn roll in on the edge,
Shelbee

Nancy, you are too funny! I accidentally published before my scheduled time (or scheduled the wrong time or something), but then I changed the link up so it went live early! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you got to link up before you went to sleep!

fun photos and super cute dress. You’re right, it will look great with tights and boots. I love layers and textures so cooler weather fashions are my jam too. Ba bye summer! Shelbee, thanks for hosting twice in one week.

I need to post those dogs on a black and white COTD!!!! They are definitely photo bombers, but they kept the smiles coming and the locations changing! You looked fab for a day with the kiddos and/or errands and even scouting!!!! I liked the necklace color pop with the blackfor sure and the summery shoes!!!!
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Thank you, dear Amy, for everything! For your beautiful yard, your adorable pups, and your wonderful photography skills! More photos today when I come over! I wonder if the dogs would let you put an accessory on them…for a black and white theme combined with some sort of pattern! That would be amazing! Ha. See you later!

Hi Shelbee! Thank you for hosting and for all your support in my own linkup. You look fabulous in that black dress. I think it will look perfect with leggings and it’s the perfect base for an amazing scarf. Thanks again!

Oh, the scarves are definitely coming out now, Mallory! Thanks so much for the lovely comment and for reading my little blog. I will be back next week to join your link up as well! Keep up the fabulous work.

That dress will totally work with tights! And, um, where do we shoot photos when the leaves start changing? We don’t, because down here in hot-forever FL, the leaves never change (& neither do the temps!) Have a great weekend, Shelbee!
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Thank you so much, Lisa! Oh no…I guess there is no Fall in Florida. I would not like that at all! I like nice brisk Fall temperatures and rich hued foliage and cuddling in front of the fireplace (even if it is a tiny little electric fireplace like mine)! I don’t think I could ever live in Florida. I barely like to visit such warmer climates! Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend. Enjoy your heat!

Carrie @ Curly Crafty Mom
That black dress will def. work this fall! I always like to add some colored tights (I have a burgundy pair) to my black dresses to add a little color in the fall. I really like those neon yellow sandals!

Thank you, Carrie! I know I have some cute patterned tights buried in my bin of tights that would look adorable with a solid black dress. I just hope they haven’t shrunk! (hahaha…because the older I get and the more I eat, it seems my clothes keep shrinking!) Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely weekend.

Thank you, Shannon! You always look fabulous in everything you wear even if shift dresses don’t work for you. I, on the other, have no hips and wish that I did! I guess the trick is finding the styles that flatter us best. Thanks for stopping by and have a fantastic weekend!

I am the total opposite of you. I just did a top ten reasons why I hate fall list. And I was surprised to find out how many other fall haters there were out there. Oh, it was all in good fun. LOVE your dress. That is definitely my style and something I would wear.
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
That is so funny, Amy! There a ton of folks who love summer so I am sure fall is very dreaded as it means long, cold winter will soon be here. There are a few things I don’t like about the fall. The allergens being one of them! And the shorter hours of day light. And the higher gas bill! That one I really hate. And as much as I love fall fashion and layering my clothes, the laundry pile increases at an overwhelming rate! But for me, the good outweighs the bad. Thanks for stopping by and have a fab weekend!
