Switching out unseasonal clothes is one of my favorite activities. It's like Christmas. It's a perfect excuse to put away in bins the ones I'm tired of, give away the ones that are beyond hope, and get out a fresh wardrobe... and try things on, of course. Switching out by season is also a good way to deal with limited closet and dresser space, which have always been pretty limited to me. And, of course, it gives me an idea what I'm lacking.
Fall also makes me want to "school" clothes shop. This year, happily, we all three of us need clothes, so Meg and I hit the outlet mall yesterday. We had some success and got ideas to go back for more. I'm making mental lists of what everybody needs. In Meg's case, of course, it's pretty much everything, but I still think standard pricing is excessive. ($20 for a toddler shirt? Seriously?) I want a pair of brown cowboy boots, but I'm holding out for either awesome clearance or the most fabulous reasonable-full-price pair ever of all time. My beloved $5 clearance boots finally wore out under me.
I started craving dark colors, of all things, about the
time we moved into this house. Conveniently, that was not long before
Labor Day when I would have put most summer stuff away anyway, so I just
got started early. My in-laws kindly stored a lot of our things while
we were in transition. I did get my bin of fall clothes, which is great,
but my cold-weather jammies are still up there. If that's the worst
mix-up from this move I'm doing well.

Did you check out the American Eagle? It *just* opened and until Sunday you can get 20% off your entire purchase! that won't help you with the boots, but jeans/belts/tops etc :-) I have a hankering to clean out my closet too...
Fall is the shopping-est season! Somehow it always manages to revive my interest in clothes that summer has burned out. Wish we could go shopping together!
Ooh, I wish we could go shopping together too - either here or there!
