Today I’m sharing 3 reasons why Autumn is the best season. Many people love Spring because it brings in a fresh start. Others love Summer because it’s warm and happy. Some people prefer the cold, harsh Winter period of the year. I’m not one of them, though. Keep reading to find out why I believe that Autumn is the best season.
Why Autumn is the Best Season
I love Autumn. I love those crisp mornings, the leaves crunching under foot. The smell of Autumn is something I love too – My Grandad was forever burning leaves when I was a kid, so the smell leading up to and just after Bonfire Night sparks great memories for me. Keep reading to find out some of the other reasons I love Autumn – or “Fall”, if you’re reading this from across the pond.
Autumn Fashion
I love the fashion that comes with Autumn. It’s not quite cold enough for woolly jumpers, hats and scarves, but you need more than just a top on. It’s all about layering for me.
In early Autumn, I love to whack a cardigan or a jacket on top of my Summer stuff, to prolong it’s life a little.
As Autumn progresses and temperatures dip, I love to dig out my old faithful Winter duffel coat. I keep toying with the idea of getting a Parka, as I wear Jeans and Tshirts a lot, but my Duffel coat looks a bit smarter.
I wear a lot of knitted dresses too, and am not convinced a Parka would look right over those. I have this same argument with myself every September!
Autumn Means Boots
I have already ordered my new Autumn boots – I cannot wait for them to arrive. After several years of switching between flat over the knee boots and almost flat biker style boots, I have opted for a Cowboy Boot this year.
I LOVE over the knee boots as they keep you much warmer, but you get
some pretty funny looks when you are wearing over the knee boots and
pushing a double pram!
They aren’t very “Mummy,” are they?! I loved my biker boots too, but I just can’t find any this season. My fat calves mean I have a very limited choice. I opted for these cowboy boots in the end.
I am going to revive my existing jeans by using a machine dye. I love my comfy jeans, and I hate throwing away stuff which can be reused, so I figured I’d save some cash and just dye them again.
Halloween and Bonfire Night
I can’t wait for Halloween. I’ve already got the kids costumes planned, thanks to my sister! I need to find them a party to go to, now! Or throw one. Maybe!
I am equally as excited about Bonfire Night. I love getting wrapped up and sitting outside (with the kids) watching the fireworks. We won’t be going to a display or a bonfire, but we will get wrapped up and set up camp in the garden, with some nice warming snacks and drinks. We also love getting stuck in with Halloween and Bonfire Night crafts.
What about you, then? What do you love about Autumn?! Let me know in the comments if you can think of any other reasons why Autumn is the best season.
