BRRRR - it’s really starting to cool off. It’s that time of year when the air starts to feel crisp, Mother Nature paints the leaves in vivid hues of reds, oranges and yellows, pumpkins begin appearing on doorsteps, and fans start wrapping up in blankets and jackets at area football games. October presents a plethora of family activities to enjoy.
As the season with the highest holidays-to-normal-days ratio, fall is arguably the best time of the year, summer notwithstanding. That said, it also rains a lot here, gets pretty cold, and oh yeah, we’re still in the middle of a global pandemic. But fear not, fellow Seattleites! There is plenty to do in the city—and beyond—and you’d be remiss to skip out on seasonal activities just because you’re still mourning summer’s end. Could this be the year that you get really into Halloween, eat too many s’mores-themed desserts, go hiking, or do all of the above? But of course. Below, click on some of the fun things you can do in Seattle this fall.
No matter what activity you decide to indulge in, make it enjoyable and fun for you and your family. Now is the time to try new things and go places you haven’t been. Take nothing for granted, as we have learned over the past year. Make this October special and memorable!
What’s new this week at Meadow Boutique:
LOVE TREE brings coats and sweaters and the fashion tops of Fall. When you walk in you will see the colors of all the leaves outside. Everything is warm and cozy and absolutely ready for purchase. It is a brand that we can always count on for their great quality, offered at a fair price. Love Tree promises their styles are fashionable and comfortable. We couldn’t agree more.
STACCATO is one of our favorite brands as well at Meadow Boutique. It seems they always focus on designing a beautiful range of basics, plaids, and knits, that you can effortlessly throw over your favorite pair of jeans so you can always be on the go.
We also have a wide variety of scarves and hats for Fall and Winter. We are always sneaking in a few pieces here and there that come in after we post our new arrivals on the blog. It really pays to stop by once a week if you are building a new Fall wardrobe and see what might be new, and of course fun and comfortable to wear. Plus, we love seeing how things look on our customers and how they fit. It helps us to only serve you better.......and we even allow you to strut your stuff outside the dressing room, you know, kind of like a mini fashion show.
There is a debate regarding skinny versus wide-leg pants which seems to have originated on TikTok in recent months, with Gen Zers declaring Millennials are old and out of touch in their skinny jeans. Everyone seems to want to be up to date and I assure you we can get you there. We have seen the Millennials rushing in to find those wide leg jeans at Meadow and finding exactly what they want….just sayin! We say experiment and see, you never know until you try them. I am personally enjoying the wide-leg boot-cut, but when I decide to wear my knee-high boots, my skinnies will come back on. I am considered a Boomer I guess, and I love that I can wear whatever I want despite what the crowd deems to be so. Oh my, there is so much joy in being my age! Versatility is the name of the game. I love clothes and I love Fashion and I am always open to what my body thinks is possible, right? At Meadow Boutique we have the opportunity to choose because there is amazing Fashion here for anyone from the age of 14 -92! I have see all sizes and ages come in and find something that tickles their fancy.
Many of you stopped by this week, and as we always do, have a chat about things happening in our families and in the world. I shared with some of you that my grandson, Logan, who is 13 was tested positive for COVID. (I have not been in contact with him, don’t worry!) I can’t tell you how much I appreciate all your well wishes for him and my family. I spoke with him today and I am happy to say he is resting and quarantined for the next 10 days......and he says he still has to do his homework. I want you all to know we are thinking of you and your families during this time. We are constantly hearing our favorite motto in our head “WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER” and you have proven over and over that this is true, not by your words, but by your actions! Our hearts are full. My heart is grateful! Thank you for being part of our family at Meadow Boutique! xoxoxoxo
