Free Fall Cut File – You Had Me at Pumpkin Spice
Last month a news flash bleeped across my phone screen. Pumpkin Spice was coming back early. Instantly I felt the temperature drop 20 degrees and I pulled on a cardigan and some boots. OK, so that's not entirely true because I live in South Texas. We only wear boots to the rodeo and anything with more than 3/4 of a sleeve stays in the back of the closet until December. Fall clothing for us here in Houston is whatever we find on the summer clearance racks because stores with corporate headquarters north of here don't understand that we don't need wool sweaters. If you wore a heavy … [Read more...]
