Fall is a season of vibrant colors and beauty and yet it always brings up an intense sense of loss in me. Old memories come back to haunt me and everything becomes a bit bittersweet. I keep getting glimpses from previous falls and even the simplest memories can bring up intense feelings of loss in me. I wonder if it is the fall colors that do this. Maybe they are etching every memory into my brain and when I bring them back they are much clearer and stronger than memories from other season because of the colors.

If my theory is true, today will probably be something I miss intensely few years from now. It was a crisp, cold fall day that then turned into a sunny, colorful day. We went for a walk in the forrest and then I did a little photoshoot of Silja’s latest dress in the field next to our house. It was really meant as a summer dress and yet the colors and pattern are perfect fall colors.

In the field

Walking in the field

It was the Geranium pattern again but this time I did some hacks of my own. Redesigned the flutter sleeves to be double flutter sleeves and added a belt that you tie into a bow. This is to date, my proudest creation (after my daughter of course).

While dresses are nice it is very important that little girls can do whatever they want wearing them. This one passed the test brilliantly!

Perfect for running

Excellent for swinging on the garage!
