What’s your favorite fall color? Burgundy? Olive green? Maybe a little burnt sienna a la Bob Ross?

Mine is leopard. If your reaction to that is “but leopard’s not a color,” then I’m sorry but we can’t be friends.

I was going to call this “1 Dress, 2 Seasons,” but that’s not really accurate. Both outfits were technically worn in the fall, it’s just that Key West’s “fall” is still 80+ degrees. And let me tell you, this 4-day excursion to paradise was just the short and sweet vacation I needed!

I mean, sure, I was a little bummed to miss the peak of fall foliage at home in Indiana. But it turns out it’s pretty easy to get over that when there’s a daiquiri in your hand.

If you’re interested in seeing more of what I was up to in the Keys, you can see a few photos on my Instagram. But highlights included: a kick-ass resort, a drag show, petting cats at the Hemingway home, gorgeous sunsets, and lots of fresh Mahi-Mahi.

Look, there’s me, letting loose on vacation. I’m such a party animal.
