Happy Sunday everyone. Our weather cooled drastically this past week, and it has me thinking about all things fall. Is fall a time of New Beginnings for You or just another season? As usual, I am joining my pals Mary Ann and Annie for our Sunday Favorites.
MUSHROOM SOUP FROM CLOSET COOKING
I am dusting off my soup recipes. Steve’s brother and sister-in-law are visiting for a few days, so I think I will make this mushroom soup tomorrow night. Lauren made this for us when we were in the midst of our last move and it was delicious. You can find the recipe here.
There’s a Psychological Reason Why We Love Fall So Much
I found this article on Very Well Mind on why we embrace fall interesting, and I thought you might too.

HIGH HEELS IN THE WILDERNESS WISDOM
Sue is a wonderful writer, and I enjoyed her post on Season of Change here. I think you might enjoy it as well.
OUTFIT OF THE WEEK
I love an all-neutral look. The faux leather pants, and sweaters from J Crew were my inspiration for the outfit this week. All you need to add is my favorite Gigi Pip hat, a leopard scarf, and a pair of comfy birdies. All of the items are linked below the graphic.
SHOP OUTFIT OF THE WEEK
Well, that is it from my desk this week. You can find any of my Sunday Favorites that you may have missed here. I hope you are having a lovely weekend. Thank you for reading Is Fall a Time of New Beginnings for You. Now let’s pop over and visit Mary Ann and Annie to see what they are up to.

Your hats look so stylish…but I have a hat style / etiquette question.
Do you wear them into your favoriting dining spots?
How do yo avoid “hat head hair”?
Thanks for any tips!
Cindy Hattersley says
Hi Penny
I most certainly do wear them out dining. To be honest, I usually wear hats when I am going to be in the sun and when I don’t want to do my hair! They hide the flat look I have on days I don’t wash my hair which are many. I try to only wash my hair about three times a week.

Soup weather is back and I couldn’t be happier. Mandy’s home is so good … and her account one of my favorites. Love your outfit of the week … those neutral are so soothing and chic. I’m one who find fall a time of renewal and fresh starts. So many of the wonderful things in my life happened in the fall and each year when October rolls around I find myself having great expectations. xo
Julie says
I just love the way you put together your blog…. Beautiful decorating , fashion and recipes. You are so inspiring!

Kay says
I love Fall because it’s the end of the brutal heat of southern California. When I was young, it was the time of Back to School and some new clothes and when I was a teen, the extra-thick issue of Seventeen magazine. This summer’s heat was almost unbearable, so I welcome Fall even more today.

My soup pot has already been simmering away, along with an extra batch if Ina Garten’s chicken stock. I have been plotting a lighter palette for fall — thanks for the nudge. Mandy Eno’s style is so effortless. I just love it! Have a great week1
Cindy Hattersley says
Hi Janet
I am so happy we are finally having some soup weather, but it is heating back up this week! I am loving a neutral palette as well. Great minds think alike! Have a great Sunday!

Wow. I actually have your choices of OOTD! Although the faux leather pants are black. Oh well! I have a black turtleneck and a long black sweater too so I can just switch the colors! I may have to order the bone pants! They are so versatile!
Love the mushroom soup. Gonna have to make it soon!
Cindy Hattersley says
Hi Marcia
I thought those pants were just perfect as well! I am always happy when you all can use what you have and make it work. Happy Sunday!
