Even though it's late October, it's still pretty warm here in San Francisco, although that seems to be the case across the rest of the U.S. too. I really want to wear my cozy sweaters and newer fall items, but I keep telling myself that hopefully the longer I wait to wear them now, the less tired of them I'll be next spring. That said, we have been getting an occasional cool day here and there—or experiencing a pretty dramatic temperature drop at night—so I have been breaking out the cashmere here and there. I'd like for it to be actual fall sooner rather than later, but until then, here's what I'm wearing in the in-between-seasons weather. 

As soon as I typed the title of this post, I thought, "how is it already October?!" Then I realized, "whoa, it's already October 13th," which made me wonder where the first half of this month has gone. The funny thing is, I feel like I haven't done that much this year, other than work my tush off, but that is quickly starting to change. Now that delta variant is on the decline (knock on wood), my social calendar is finally picking up, plus Sean has a bunch of conferences this fall that I'm going to tag along on. Then before we know it, it will be Thanksgiving, then Christmas and New Year's, and I don't know about you, but I can't wait for 2022 (according to Susan Miller, it's supposed to be my best year ever). That said, I am very happy it's autumn—I am one of those Fall People who loves turning leaves, pumpkin-flavored everything, and most importantly, fall clothes. October is really the sweet spot in fall dressing, because it's still warm enough to get away with a sweater and a light jacket. So in celebration of that, here's what I'm wearing in October.
