Pumpkin Wardrobe + A 20-Calorie Pumpkin Drink

Layers. Layers. Layers.
That's the key to dressing this time of year!

When I let Drake outdoors in the morning, it is so incredibly chilly.  But during the middle of the day, it is h-a-w-t!

This weekend, along with decorating our home for fall (and more importantly, Halloween!) I'll also be doing the switch out from warm weather clothes to cool weather clothes.

I've already started pulling some of the brightly-colored Lilly off of the hangers and folding them up.  I'm already favoring autumn-colored hues.  This pumpkin color is a favorite of mine.  Why stop at a Pumpkin Spice Latte?  It's equally as pleasing in the form of a blouse or pair of cords.    

Pumpkin Galore

Speaking of pumpkins and the beloved Pumpkin Spice Latte ... while we all know how good this Starbucks treat is, it's no shocker that it may not be the best for the waistline when consumed on a daily basis.  I'm not even going to post the calories -- I'll let you research that if you truly want to.  But, Ian and I have a sneaky way of getting around this.

1 cup coffee (0 calories) + 1 tablespoon sugar free Torani vanilla syrup (0 calories) + 2 tablespoons fat free half and half (20 calories) + a few shakes of pumpkin pie spice (0 calories) = a yummy "pumpkinny" 20 calorie caffeine boost!


So tell me pumpkins, how are you adding this flavor, scent, or color into your life this fall?

    I need to get on this 20 calorie coffee option. Such a good idea and sounds equally delicious! Sans the guilt, I'll take that :)

    I put pumpkin pie spice in my morning smoothie (which also has pumpkin puree) and a sprinkle in my coffee. Obsessed!

    Love your fall picks. I need to stock up on some pumpkin colored pieces. I am also digging all the wine colored things that are out right now. Love following you on Instagram! Have a great day!

    I always ask for my PSL nonfat, no whip, 2 pumps. It makes me feel better about drinking so many. I have no idea if it actually makes a huge difference calorie wise. P.S. Love seeing you cheering on the Pirates! I went to ECU : )
