Clothes-fused.

I'll be the first to tell you that I love me some fashion.  Clothes, accessories, shoes, purses.  All of it.  And don't even GET me started about baby clothes.  LOVE. 

However there is one time of year, in Texas that is, I get royally clothes-fused.  And it's also one of my favorite times of year.  That time is fall.  Right now.  First of all, Labor Day happens.  The day that, after it comes and goes, bans you from wearing white pants/shoes/etc.  Which is fine.  Whatevs.

Next, the stores start filling up with the cuteness that is fall fashion.  Boots, scarves, deep, rich colors, turtle necks, cowl necks, leggings.  Basically all of my favorite articles of clothing start showing up everywhere I look.  I am oh so tempted, not only to buy all of these lovely little pretties (and then I remind myself I'm a stay at home mom married to a budgeting accountant and snap out of it) but to drag all of the ones currently taking residence in my closet out as well. 

And then ...
I walk outside. 
And it's 95 degrees.  And it remains 95 degrees until mid to late October.  Enter Texas fall. 

Hence where the clothes-fused comes out.  Um.  It's October.  I don't want to can't wear strapless sundresses, shorts and white pants.  And aside from that, my tan faded a good month ago so I SHOULDN'T wear them for fear of burning people's retinas.  Aside from that the fact that everything, everywhere is screaming FALL. 

So until an ACTUAL cold front moves through (not one where it drops the temps to a mere 87 degrees) I will be sporting a tank top ... over leggings ...and flip flops ... with a scarf and gloves.  Feel free to make fun of me if you run into me in the metroplex.

Other Texans, anyone else have this problem?  How do you pull off fall fashion without turning into a sweaty mess?
