So it has turned to the high 80s rather than steady 90+ and I have begun to venture out in jeans, but the closed shoes with socks will have to wait. And the jackets. And the coats. And the sweaters that it is hard to imagine I will ever want to wear again but no there day will come too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-those-of-us-in-hot-climates-who-are-pining-for-fall#post-2060293 Thu, 12 Sep 2019 22:25:52 +0000 cindysmith 2060293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boots. I cannot wait for boots. This is Texas, we're supposed to wear boots. But really, who wants sweaty feet? It's been in the upper 90s here, and that's just the official temps that are recorded in the shade. Take a temperature reading out in the sun and it's more like 109.</p> <p>So I want to wear:<br /> * boots<br /> * jeans<br /> * scarves<br /> * sweaters</p> <p>Although I will likely only be able to wear most of that stuff for about 3.6 nanoseconds before it gets too freaking hot again. Because our predominant weather pattern is "stupid hot" for all but a few weeks a year. One of these days, I'll quit being the dumb bunny that buys all these pretty things that I only get to wear for about 6 weeks every year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-those-of-us-in-hot-climates-who-are-pining-for-fall#post-2060180 Thu, 12 Sep 2019 15:00:23 +0000 LaPed 2060180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We've had an incredible late summer in New England (you all can throw things at me if you want but I did survive three Las Vegas summers prior to moving here!). Low humidity, lots of sun, crisp nights and mild temps. No dog days but no early frost either. Today it's 56°F but grey and rainy. </p> <p>I've been trying to take advantage of the weather and make use of all my "transitional" pieces that I rarely get a chance to wear: cotton jackets, low-denier tights, closed shoes that aren't boots. Because these are pieces that don't get much play, I have that shop-your-closet feeling and it's doing a great job of preventing wardrobe boredom. Makes me see the wisdom in curating small, highly-specific seasonal capsules.&nbsp;</p> <p>Kaelyn, I love winter hiking in the southeast! I'm thinking about planning a backpacking trip in Georgia or the Carolinas in late fall/early winter. Those weeks are pretty much the worst in the northeast -- foliage is gone, days are short and COLD, but not enough snow to make things fun and pretty.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-those-of-us-in-hot-climates-who-are-pining-for-fall#post-2060171 Thu, 12 Sep 2019 14:09:56 +0000 DeAnna 2060171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in Oklahoma City and it going to be 94 today, so tired of the heat.

Two years ago, we were living in Tampa and I was beyond sick of the heat, so I did a hot fall challenge to come up with outfits that were ok in the heat but still somehow acknowledged the season (mostly with color but also some thin knits). I bought these boots the following winter. We moved over the summer (after 8,5 years there) and finally got to wear them last winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-those-of-us-in-hot-climates-who-are-pining-for-fall#post-2060111 Thu, 12 Sep 2019 05:31:57 +0000 Bonnie 2060111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's been in the 60 and 70's F where I live all summer. Everyone says it's been an unseasonably cool summer. I'm not complaining because I moved here from AZ where it was 107F everyday for 7+ months. Good thing that fall weather is my favorite, too. I'll be wearing fall colors to honor the season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-those-of-us-in-hot-climates-who-are-pining-for-fall#post-2060092 Thu, 12 Sep 2019 04:03:35 +0000 Kate 2060092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>95 was our high here in D.C. today, Kaelyn. Ugh! Fall cannot come soon enough for me, but I fear there is still plenty of hot weather left in store for us.</p> <p>I look forward to wearing my new acquisitions: high rise wide legged pants (curry and chestnut colors) and dark wash jeans, hooded teal sweater coat, and long navy, taupe and brown silk scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-those-of-us-in-hot-climates-who-are-pining-for-fall#post-2060087 Thu, 12 Sep 2019 03:45:28 +0000 JAileen 2060087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We’ve had unseasonably hot weather until a few days ago. I’m looking forward to not sweating! I’d like to be able to wear a sweater. That’s not too much to ask, is it? Although I bought a nice sweater in NAS, I’m looking forward to wearing these two sweaters: a polar bear sweater from LLBean, and a thrifted H&amp;M sweater I plan to wear all October. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-those-of-us-in-hot-climates-who-are-pining-for-fall#post-2060084 Thu, 12 Sep 2019 03:31:50 +0000 Janet 2060084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It was in the 90s today — the heat is lasting a bit late for this part of the country, and I’m so over it. It’s cooling off at night at least, but still highs in the 80s means I’m still rotating tees and crops and skirts, when I want jeans and boots and jackets, dammit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-those-of-us-in-hot-climates-who-are-pining-for-fall#post-2060070 Thu, 12 Sep 2019 02:31:04 +0000 Anonymous 2060070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kaelyn, it has been in the 90’s and mid 80’s yet in my part of Colorado, breaking heat records.
