Ahhhhh. Finally. Today, today is the beginning of fall. The air is finally getting crisp and that awful shimmering heat is gone. Yay! Fall is my favorite season because you can wear coats and jackets and tights and boots without shivering all the time. Plus, you can actually wear makeup during the fall because most things you put on in the summer, you put on knowing it will slide off of you in exactly 1.35 hours.
So! Fall. What's the best way to celebrate? Bright lipstick and bare skin and eyes? But...but...that's summer makeup! That's the bare-bones makeup we've been lamenting all season.
Well, so I've gotten attached to bare-bones.
And honestly, with all the navy, browns, blacks, tweeds, and plaids
going around...WE NEED COLOR! We need shocking color!
Because for me, fall is and will be associated with songs like this:
"Well the sun rose/
So many colors, it nearly broke my heart/
It worked me over like a work of art/
And I was part of all that."
(Dar Williams)
I started college in the fall. And that was when my true musical eduation started...when I started to truly fall in love with songs. The leaves crunching, the lives lived more intensely, the colors...That is what fall is about.
