Now that we're leaving September and welcoming October, it's time to accept that Summer is over and Fall is here. Believe it or not, it's time to start packing away your breezy linen dresses and denim cutoffs in favor of plush sweaters, reliable leggings and the best fall boots for assembling the ultimate cozy-meets-stylish outfit.

That telltale coniferous whiff of pine sap mixed with afternoons bathed in golden, glancing sunlight. The bounty of the harvest delivered through sensational sips and unforgettable meals. Fall in the Pacific Northwest is arriving in full force! It’s high time to soak in the sensory overload of the season, whether it’s more your style to bundle up for a leaf-peeping stroll or get cozy with a hot cup of joe and a rich pastry indoors.

A special perk of Seattle, and the Northwest in general, is that folks dress casually. Even for nights out on the town, you'll spot plenty of jeans as well as more formal clothes, but rarely anything as formal as you might see in an East Coast city. Seattle is known for many things: its coffee, it’s wet weather, and its residents’ relaxed sense of fashion. Seattle is the birthplace of grunge, so it makes sense that all that flannel has lingered in our closets long after the ’90s. Plus, we’re an outdoorsy bunch. When we’re not hiking the trails in our many stunning parks, we can often be found walking or biking to work in the rain. Function over fashion is the style norm in Seattle.

Perhaps you originally dressed up for your office job but after switching to work from home at some point during the past two years, you now consider jeans to be fancy. You’re most likely not the only one contributing to the casual style in Seattle. So that brings us to all the casual fashion that came in this week at Meadow Boutique.

We have some new plaid bags from JEN & CO and some more Fall colors will be coming in of the most recent solid colored bags. So many sweaters and sweatshirts are in cropped, longer and mid-length from STACCATO, DOUBLE ZERO, and HYFVE. SNEAK PEEK brought in 3 denim washes and styles. They are all flared and super cute. It’s great that there are so many styles of denim right now, something for EVERY BODY. If you haven’t tried flared because you had the pressure of wearing the baggy or straight leg jeans. I love having all different styles to pick from out of my closet. I suggest trying the flare, just so you know how you look in them today. I know how I looked in them in the 70’s will not be the same. I am game, how about you?

I am sure you are ready by now to acknowledge it is Fall and it is cooler outside. We are ready to help you find sweaters and shackets and jackets, even some great denim. We love seeing our new pieces on our customers and watching you feel so warm and cozy and accepting of Fall. We thank you so much for supporting us and we look forward to showing you all the Fall/Winter fashion we will be getting in the coming months. The year is almost over - where did 2022 go? Let’s focus on the days at hand so we don’t miss a thing! Welcome October with all your heart. xoxoxox

“Only today, today, in October sun, it’s all gold—sky and tree and water. Everything just before it changes looks to be made of gold.” ~ Eudora Welty
