^^This was when I spotted a couple cats sleeping in the brush nearby.

I will never not stop to look at cats.

Happy official first day of fall, the greatest season out of all seasons! This time of year I started to get SAD: Seasonal Affective DELIGHT.

I spent the beginning of the month in the Outer Banks with my family. We made it 4 days on the beach before we got evacuated thanks to Hurricane Dorian. If you’re keeping track, yes, that’s one day longer than we made it last year before Hurricane Florence. Sooooo yeah definitely a success. Shooting for 5 days next year.

On the bright side, coming home a little early meant we got to enjoy a remarkably kickass beautiful pre-fall day back in Indiana. I busted out some leopard print and long sleeves, soaked up some not-too-direct sunshine, and almost forgot about my bad vacation luck.

Old: The town of Vincennes, Indiana, which was founded in 1732, making it one of the oldest European settlements west of the Appalachians. Everything there is adorably historical and/or retro. I wouldn’t live there in a million years, but it’s nice visiting Kristin’s extended family for holidays once in a while.

New: This sweater, which Kristin got me for Christmas because she’s awesome. And this bag, which I got myself because I too am awesome.
