This evening the sun disappeared behind layers of thick gray
clouds. Heavy drops soon followed and
although that may sound like less than ideal conditions for a walk in the
fields of freshly cut hay, to me it felt just right. If the air were just a touch more chilly, I'd
probably have put on a comfy Loungewear set and curled up in the window with a
cup of dandelion tea to dream away the afternoon while I watch it rain rather
than be out in it.
But, today the warm summer sun has given way to the cool
autumn rain and the sweet scent of golden hay wafts up into the air in a fine
mist as the rain washes the dust off the
mountains and gives them a fresh coat of blue.
It is the perfect day to put on my Dark Wash Buttons Flare Jeans - Natalia and a cozy cropped
sweater and wander among the hills in these picture perfect fields, still
dreaming, still taking in the beauty of the afternoon.
To the west the sun is slowly sinking behind the clouds, to
the east, in a far field, the cattle are busy munching the last of the grass,
too busy to notice the round bales of hay; they are ignoring the sudden
shower. I love their gentle nature and
the way their rich colors of ivory, rust and brindled brown dot the green
earth. Walking here, pausing to watch
the babies chase after their mothers and then dare to run away again, this is
my meditation, my zen today.
September is a season of transitioning temperatures, but it's
also harvest season where I live.
Everywhere I look I see trees heavy with fruit and landscapes full of crops
ripening and ready to be gathered up and celebrated in some way—large or
small. There are festivals galore either
on the way or happening now.
There are some festivals I make it a point to visit
every year while others I've volunteered to help with just to get in on
the spirit of thankfulness and community.
It makes for a long weekend being at the festivals all day, all weekend,
but it's worth it. Besides, I've got my
cozy Loungewear set waiting at home and all winter ahead to wear them and gaze
out at the world. Right now, while the
warmth of these days lasts, I need to be out here.
Festival days, like rainy walks in the fields, have special
requirements for apparel. As much as I
love to wear my dressy dresses, the festival days are busy, dusty, and
demanding. Those are the days that
require jeans, but there's no reason I can't keep the dressy part though and
that's why I love these Dark Wash Buttons Flare Jeans - Natalia from FemmeLuxe.
Their sweet button down front is such a great accent, I think
it's all the bling I need for this look.
I've fallen in love with all things FemmeLuxeFinery from bodycon dresses to
jumpsuits, but I am most thankful for discovering their trousers and high waist jeans. They are so chic and stylish and
yet so comfortable. I absolutely adore them!
They're versatile enough to look great at the office, on the
town, or here in the country at a harvest festival. And they are just the perfect rise to
highlight those curves in the best way possible. I like high rise jeans with crop tops and bodysuits
to keep the silhouette sleek. Remember
to never cover high rise jeans with a long top.
What's the point of going ultra high if you're not going to show it off,
right?
The rain has let up now and is only a gentle mist that
gathers on my eyelashes and the end of my nose.
It's still warm out and the air is still sweet but the crickets have
begun their evening song and my thoughts turn toward home. When the cows see their dear farmer's truck
driving up, they all go running out to greet him and see what treat he may have
brought them. We smile to each other,
call out a greeting and give each other a wave.
I know he won't mind if I stay a while, but it's time to wander back to
my own little house and my own little kitchen, where my loved ones are waiting
for dinner too.
