September reminds me to slow down, to light a candle earlier in the evening, to take longer walks when the air feels new again, to lean into the ritual of getting dressed as a way of marking time.  

This coat is by far my most favorite vintage coat that I own.  I wear it every fall and winter to almost every event. (Not that I go to too many events) but if I get the chance to dress up and go out, this vintage coat is just amazing. There really are no words describe this coat. I bought it at a vintage fair and it came with a matching skirt. I'm also wearing a beautiful vintage purse that glows with the outfit. This is not my September outfit of the month for 2025 (even though it probably should be) but I had to post it.

September is a month of shifting moods and I find calm in it's quiet contrasts- the crisp air outside, the deeper tones in my wardrobe, the sense that slowing down can be its own kind of beauty.
