Though last year was first time to ever experience fall, it is absolutely and without a doubt my favorite season. Though I wouldn't trade the memories of old summer days by the beach or island hopping back in the Philippines, I am quickly making new memories filled with apple pickings, walking down country roads lined with trees bearing sunset-colored leaves, and layering. A LOT of layering. As someone still bearing my postpartum paunch, I am extra grateful for fall because of this. Ha.

This year, we're a tad bit luckier as fall isn't as harsh as it was last year - I still had the chance to wear my favorite summer piece, the white shirtdress, as a transitional piece for fall alongside my favorite Kaishi Run kicks for a quick errand downtown.
