If you follow any country road in North Carolina there’s every chance you’ll come across an abandoned gas station/grocery store. They’re silent reminders of bygone rural life in a state that is rapidly changing into a landscape of gated communities and mega malls.

My friends Margot and Hope are joining me in a series of posts called ‘Shop Your Closet.’ The idea is to take pieces of clothing from our three separate wardrobes and put them together in fresh, creative ways. We hope you’ll enjoy these and feel inspired to..shop your own closet!
Fashion Details-
Tweed DKNY skirt, fur collar (removed from a jacket), Sam & Libby shoes and red tights- from my closet
Floral cardigan- from Hope’s closet

Last week I flew to North Carolina to see my parents and sister. The weather cooperated with cool, crisp fall days. My dad and I drove out into some rural areas to take pictures. We stopped at a friend of a neighbor who invited us to walk and photograph their farm property. I enjoyed looking at the old barns and outbuildings- evidence of the generations who have lived and worked the land there. Places like this always tug at my heart- bringing back memories of my own great-grandparent’s farm in the mid-west.

Typically farmers never throw anything away!

The northeast is at it’s peak with fall color now. I couldn’t resist spending the morning hiking and taking some pictures with my new camera.
