Success!

Yay for small victories - Second Time Around took nearly ALL of the clothes I wanted to consign! I had convinced myself they wouldn't take a single thing and would laugh at my castoffs like some awful retail version of Mean Girls, but my anxiety was unfounded. The appointment was a delight and now I can't wait to track the sales on their website.

Fall is in the air and the sun is being fickle, so it's nearly time for the days when I can start cozying up to a book with a cup of tea. Can't wait for leaf-peeping season and cider and apple picking... hopefully we can get some more use out of our fireplace!

In the meantime, I'm going to unabashedly profess my love for this dress - it make me feel like Lydia from Beetlejuice. It looks great in my freshly pared-down closet - and looks even better on ME: And my mom taught me well - I refuse to buy anything full price: it was my purchase from Anthropologie with my birthday month discount. That reminds me - I need to make sure my Starbucks card is registered with my birth date so I can claim that free birthday drink. Vente chai latte here I come...

And my parents are scheduled to visit from Buffalo the first weekend of October! We're planning on catching the Sox game against Cleveland - I can't wait!
