On the Cheap: Fun for Fall and Fall for Fun

OF COURSE, once I get on board with fall it gets all hot again. But whatever. Let's just pretend it's not happening and imagine that some chili is cooking in the crock pot.

As soon as the weather changed when I was a kid, my teachers would bust out sweaters with leaves embroidered on them, my mom would trot around in her candy corn cardigan, and I would get forced into a sweatshirt with a jack o'lantern painted on it. Does this still happen? I mean, I certianly don't wear that sweatshirt anymore, and I'm pretty sure Mom tossed all of her food-related clothing, but I feel like the trend of wearing the seasons is still associated with little kids. Or maybe it was just the 90s.

Either way, I found some more sophisticated ideas for showing your cold weather glee.

Starting top left, the red acorn necklace is $30, the gold branch and bird is $23, the woodsy couple is (gulp) $50, and the embroidered acorn is $20. All are from Etsy.

Do you wear seasonal jewelry? Or clothing? Am I crazy to not want a candy corn cardian of my own? Comments!
