Yes, you heard me right - it’s Fall as of September 22 at Meadow Boutique. Can you feel it in the air? I love the Indian Summer we have in September & October. The weather is still nice and hovering in the mid 70”s, except for the mornings and evenings are now crisp with fresh cool air. The weather in Seattle in Fall is gorgeous. September brings many days in the 70s and even the 80s and gradually goes down to the 60s as the season continues. Seattle in September tends to be reasonably dry, and the rain doesn't really start until October in Seattle. The smoke seems to come and go and I hope we are getting to the end of it soon.

Why do we call it an Indian Summer? An Indian summer is a period of unseasonably warm, dry weather that sometimes occurs in autumn in temperate regions of the northern hemisphere. When European settlers first came across the phenomenon in America it became known as the Indian's Summer. The haziness of the Indian Summer weather was caused by prairie fires deliberately set by Native American tribes. It was the period when First Nations/Native American peoples harvested their crops.

What fashion pieces do we need to have on our wardrobe for Fall? There are many new people in our neighborhood from other places, so hopefully this list will help.
