{adding some color}

If you've been reading The Sweetest Petunia for very long, I'm sure you've noticed that I love color. A lot.

(check out the {color love} section if you haven't been here long)

A while back, I had an outfit I wanted to wear. It's kind of complicated, but I had found some shoes, put together an outfit...but it just needed something. Something fun and colorful to brighten it up.

I had some Amy Butler fabric from the Love collection that I'd been hanging onto, and Mandie had posted about this scarf she made. I figured I'd give it a try!

I didn't use a tutorial, although Mandie told me a little about how she made her version. I think mine ended up being wider and shorter, but I like how it turned out. I just fastened it with a posey pin from The Pleated Poppy instead of wrapping the scarf around.

What do you think?

It was fun to wear, and even the sweetheart liked it.

Have you ever made a scarf?

{september, already?}

Yesterday was the first day of September!

{as I'm sure you all knew}

Wow.

Sometimes it seems like life moves so fast...

Anyway, thinking about the fact that it's September made me realize that my favorite season ever, Fall, is right around the corner. Yay!

Living in Florida, Fall really doesn't look like this...

But I still love it. I'd love to visit somewhere that the leaves change.

And it will {hopefully} be getting cooler!

Florida is a hot place.

I look forward to the first cold snap every year.

Mainly because I love wearing things like this...

And as soon as it does get cooler, I'm taking myself to Starbucks for one of these...

Yum!

What are you looking forward to this Fall?
