I wanted to put together an outfit that captured (for me, at least) that end of summer, transitioning into autumn, feeling. Autumn is my very favorite time of year. I love everything about it. The unrelenting heat and humidity of the summer in the Midwest finally breaks, and everything cools down to a slightly more bearable temperature, before finally slipping into chilly. The air is crisp, the afternoon light softens, and the trees come alive with different colors.
I just love it all. And I really love fall colors. It helps that they look good on me in RL, I imagine. Autumn collections have always been my favorite collections, because the colors are made for me.
It’s still a little early to be dressing for autumn here in Ohio. The heat is still going strong today, (91° F as I write this!) we’re lacking rain and the sun is beating down. But in SL, I can start making that change, and enjoy as much autumn as I like. Next week I’ll begin turning our yard into an autumn wonderland, but in the meantime, I’ll go shopping for new clothes that represent the cooler weather.
I wanted to capture autumn in this picture, not so much with the colors, but with the light. It might just be me, but autumn light always feels different to me. It casts shadows and highlights and I just know it when I feel it. And this felt like it to me.
