The Wandering Quill

Pumpkin spice has become excessively popular. While I appreciate it as much as anyone else, it has developed into a widespread phenomenon. The accompanying attire—skinny jeans, wide-brim hats, boots, and sweaters—has become the quintessential fall uniform. While it is undeniably charming, it is time for us to explore different styles. If this is your preferred look, that’s perfectly fine, but it has certainly become overexposed. I do not consider myself a fashionista; my typical attire consists of jeans, tank tops, and sandals. When I am at home, I prefer wearing pajamas or leggings. I argue they are indeed pants. They were once referred to as stretch pants. Yes, I am old enough to remember those days. They were once worn with long sweaters and boots.

Fall is just around the corner. Yes, you guessed it—pumpkin spice lattes and a delightful array of everything pumpkin-scented and flavored are here! The leaves start their stunning transformation into beautiful yellows. They change into rich browns and fill the air with that enchanting essence of earthy decay. I cherish the beautiful memories each season brings, but winter holds a special place in my heart. I vividly recall the joy of decorating with my grandma. Our laughter filled the air as we baked delicious cookies together. We created moments that sparkle like the frost outside.

Halloween was a magical time for me as a kid! I adored getting dressed up in creative costumes, venturing out into the night to collect candy and sweets. It was never solely about the spooky elements. The joy of school parties filled my heart with excitement. Each classroom was transformed into a wonderland of decorations. We had the freedom to roam between them. We connected with friends and created unforgettable memories. Ah, those cherished moments stay etched in my mind!
