The Biggest Pumpkin Ever

Alright, so I didn't really find the biggest pumpkin ever (although I did see some big ones!), but does anyone else remember that book from when they were a kid? It was one of my favorites when I was little. I eventually tracked down a copy a couple of years ago so that I can relive my childhood with it. What can I say...I've always loved pumpkins and all things autumny! Hooray for October! :D

A few weeks ago I received an e-mail in the middle of the week saying that the pumpkin patch was opening that coming weekend. On that Saturday, I woke up and went through my usual ritual of pulling all kinds of items out of my closet to try to put together an outfit. I eventually ended up with this outfit, and then decided that it looked like I should be in a pumpkin patch. It was like that e-mail planted the idea in the back of my mind and when I woke up that day, it was already decided that I'd end up at the pumpkin patch on the opening day.

Prepare to get sick of this dress, because I can't stop remixing it. I don't have enough remixed items to do all kinds of remix posts, but if I was to do one, it would definitely be about this dress. I still have other ideas for how to wear it too! It's just so versatile and I love to wear it during this season since it's the perfect shade of burnt orange. I also need to talk about how much I love these Clarks heels. I wish I had them in every color because they're both super comfortable and super cute! You'll probably see them a lot too.

Since it was opening day for the pumpkin patch, it was like having the first pick of the crop! Not that I was looking to purchase a pumpkin, but I did see the perfect one that I'd love to get if I was buying a pumpkin. It was big and round and had a good, sturdy stem. Ugh...pumpkins just make me so happy. Seriously. I just want to be surrounded by them all season long. I've decided that someday when I have a house that I will be one of those people that goes crazy with the outdoor autumn decor. I don't mean with those giant, tacky blow-up dolls or obnoxious screaming Halloween statues. I mean I'd want it to look pretty and nice with hay bales, tons of pumpkins (both orange and white!), corn husks, and maybe a pretty autumn wreath on the door. I also love those little painted wooden signs that say things like "Happy Fall" or "Pumpkins This Way". Even something like this is nice and cute. I can't wait to be able to decorate my own place someday!

Every fall I always see great pumpkin decorating ideas, especially while I'm browsing through Pinterest. By the way, autumn is my favorite time to browse through Pinterest. I have a whole board dedicated to autumn and it makes me so happy when I look through it. There are so many awesome ideas to be found on there! I keep seeing chalkboard-painted pumpkins which I really love because a black and white look is perfect for Halloween. I'd love to give that a try sometime. My parents usually just get one pumpkin and we carve it and bake the seeds afterwards. It'd be cool to get a couple of smaller ones and experiment with decorating them. I just might do it this year! :)
