fall and some things

i love fall weather.

is it just me or are fall clothes the most fun to wear?

i love so much that i can now delve into my collection of scarves, leggings, gloves, jackets, long socks, leg-warmers, arm-warmers, hats, sweaters and most lovely of all... tights. i have many of all of them.

oh it's wonderful. i untangled all my tights yesterday and i was so pleased with the assortment. summer's heat had caused me to forget i even owned some of these. i wore the ones on the far left to church today.

i think i'll start wearing skirts more this fall.

my feet and legs feel like they're in some sort of dreamland (hence the blurry, dreamy edges on the photograph that i added fro a dreamy effect).

(please note my amazing cable-knit sweater-like leggings)

i think part of why i'm so excited is the fact that my last real fall was 3 years ago. 2006.

i was in los angeles in 2007 and then in jerusalem in 2008. i hardly realized how much i missed it till it came this year.

here's something weird too: so you know how memories are induced by smells? or tastes or other random things? i've realized that it's true about weather too. as i walk around on campus lately i keep finding myself reminiscing and and getting lost in memory - but all my memories are coming from the last time i felt weather like this! fall 2006. it's so bizarre. i keep thinking random things about the boy i was dating at the time, the kids to used to nanny, favorite music of the time, the house i used to live in, and even clothes i used to own. it's just very weird, yet, kind of intriguing.

oh fall. how mysterious you are.
