Oh, the weather outside is delightful, and the leaves are OH such a sightful! We took a walk in the mountains to see the vibrant leaves and I, of course, had to take photos in my plaid Madewell blouse, J.Crew skirt and pumpkin! It reminded me of one of my favorite poems, especially for this time of year:
Autumn, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Thou comest, Autumn, heralded by the rain,
With banners, by great gales incessant fanned,
Brighter than brightest silks of Samarcand,
And stately oxen harnessed to thy wain!
Thou standest, like imperial Charlemagne,
Upon thy bridge of gold; thy royal hand
Outstretched with benedictions o’er the land,
Blessing the farms through all thy vast domain!
Thy shield is the red harvest moon, suspended
So long beneath the heaven’s o’er-hanging eaves;
Thy steps are by the farmer’s prayers attended;
Like flames upon an altar shine the sheaves;
And, following thee, in thy ovation splendid,
Thine almoner, the wind, scatters the golden leaves!
Isn’t that just lovely to your ears? I hope you all take the opportunity to get outside and enjoy this colorful time of year!
Have a lovely day,
~ Kathryn, The Sugared Lemon
The very best time of year! Love the outfit and the poem!
What a lovely fall shoot. Love your style babe.
This outfit is seriously fall perfection! That tie-neck blouse is so unexpected in plaid, and I love that you added in some pretty jeweled bangles to up the glam factor for a walk in the woods!
I love fall photo shoots and you look so cute here! Plaid is always a win during fall!
This is my absolute favorite time of the year! The colors are so beautiful here in Michigan, I wish the season was longer! You look fab!
I absolutely adore these pictures from the beautiful colors of autumn and I can’t wait to have a photo shoot like that done myself! The poem is one of my favorites too and captures the spirit of the season. Have a great day you too!
