A chill in the air

Apparently fall has finally reached Atlanta. After last week's gorgeous weather (the temperature ranged from highs of 80 to 86) I woke up yesterday to an icy wind. I thought it would warm up during the day but it only got windier. Tonight the temperature will drop to the mid 30s. Oh well, we had a nice long run of warm weather. I happen to have a winter coat that I absolutely love (although my Bosnian Boyfriend refers to it as "that big-ass coat") and I'm excited to wear it again. I bought it when I first moved to Georgia a few years ago but I still get compliments on it. Yea! I've also become a big fan of scarves. Having previously lived in California I had never heard of freeze warnings or ice storms and I had never owned a scarf. Now I adore them and their delightful neck-warming ways. I have a bright red one with matching gloves that goes quite well with the aforementioned coat. Yesterday morning I was hoping the day would get warmer but now I can't wait for it to get colder. I suppose that's good since it is the end of October already. Now I just need to secure a pair of sexy boots and I'll be ready for whatever Mother Nature can throw at me. Bring on the ice storms!
