As far as pumpkin patches go, I'd always thought I'd be bundled up in a nice warm coat and a thick, knit scarf tucked around my neck. Alas, Southern California weather persevered into the high 80s the weekend we went to the pumpkin patch. This aztec print dress was a bit warm for such a day, but reds and browns were so perfect for an autumnal activity. I was more excited about the corn maze than the patch itself and was disappointed by how easy it was. I'd imagined an enormous field where I'd actually have to think to find my way out. The only other ones I'd heard of are the really scary ones and I'm too chicken to go out to one of those!
