Corn Maze Days

To kick off fall we ventured to a nearby town to their corn maze.  We've been going for years and years, see picture below.  It's become one of our favorite fall family traditions and although the kids are less enthused they never fight going and always enjoy it.  What I am finding now as a mom of a tween and teen is that they also kind of like to cling to a few family traditions and rituals even though they are growing their independence and separating from their childhood.  I hope to one day be able to witness them becoming parents and carrying on some of these little traditions into their own families.  

The Rosthern Youth Corn Maze is our favorite by far because it grows with the family.  There is endless stuff to do, including two corn mazes, children's and an adult one, a bouncy area, wall climbing, a pumpkin patch area for pictures and to buy pumpkins, various games and activities, a wagon & train ride, food and drinks, and our favorite a petting zoo.  It's a great way to support a local organization and enjoy a full afternoon of fun.  We grown to enjoy and indulge in their mini-donuts and either a warm coffee/hot chocolate or this year slushies because it was so warm.  

I wore this totally casual button up.  I am actually loving button up shirt this year and I've add a couple to my closet.  This one was purchased at Belong Lifestyle here in town but guess what?!?  They ship all over Canada and even have a location in the states Belong Lifestyle USA.  The ladies focus on celebrating and empowering women of all shapes and sizes.  I absolutely love their inclusivity and their dedication to uplifting women.  I decided to give it a little twist by tying a knot in the front and adding my floppy hat for the afternoon.  It wasn't too breezy so my hat actually stayed put, which is one of the main reasons I don't wear it as often as I should.   I actually really want to add a felt fedora hat in tan for fall 2021 and I think I am going to order it from Ten Tree, see link below.

What are some of your favorite fall rituals or traditions?

Felt Hats & Combat Boots

Felt hats and combat boots, where class and edge finding the perfect balance.  Insert this little outfit that I've been seen wearing this winter.  With mild winter temperatures blessing us for most of the winter so far, not this week, I was able to shoot several outfit posts and actually wear them out and about without my large parka.  I've been wanting to add some combat boots to my shoe collection but then my youngest daughter ended up getting a pair for her birthday and I thought, well I can borrow hers instead.  Although I have to ask permission, I've been able to borrow and wear them on a few occasions, like when I put this casual weekend look together.   Light wash jeans, which I can never wear to work, my favorite new to me cropped turtleneck sweater, felt hat, some sparkle jewelry, and of course the combat boots.  What I don't have pictured here is the perfect coat for the outfit.   The leather jacket.  

What I absolutely love about this outfit is it's easy street style.  The jeans and combat boots are relaxed  and chic just as a weekend look should be.  The felt hat and the jewelry just add a little sparkle and class to the look without overpowering or contradicting the overall feel of the outfit. If you recall in fall I asked help from readers to help me style this hat in various ways so that it wouldn't just collect dust in the closet, I am happy to report I have worn it a few times since then, see original outfit post here.  I am loving the combat boots so much that I am actually thinking of getting my own pair.  Help me decided on a pair!
