What I Wore This Week (No. 243) – Closetful of Clothes

what i wore the first week of september 2025

I cannot believe summer is over. I know. You’re all probably ready for fall and sweater weather and pumpkin spice lattes. I know everyone loves fall. I do too. I really do. But I just love summer so much that I get so sad when it’s over. It takes me a full week or so to recover post Labor Day. I miss the carefree pool and beach days, no school or activities, the warm mornings and evenings. I miss it all. The start of a new school year definitely feels like a fresh start, but it also reminds me how fast my kids are growing up and how these are such special years of my life — I hear raising your kids when they’re little is the best time of your life — and man, it’s going too fast. I hope it’s not game over form here on out and I’m sorry if I’ve now depressed us all. But time marches forward so all the more reason to embrace fall and live it up, right? Anyway, here we are at fall and back to school. While some of the country has been back to school for weeks, this was our first full-ish week with all the kids in school. Charlotte started kindergarten, Brooks started preschool, James entered third grade, and Grace, luckily, is still by my side. But it called for lots of outfits for orientations and drop offs and pick ups and the start of activities and classroom visits and all of that, as you’ll see in my roundup of what I wore the first week of September 2025.

I’m a week behind on these, so you’ll also see some end of summer outfits (that will still work for early fall because let’s be serious, it’s still warm for awhile) from our long weekend at the lake house. I have to say, as much as I am not ready for summer to be over, I find myself excited to throw on a sweater with my shorts or jeans. Idk. The fall fashion is actually good this year, and I’m ready to start wearing all the fall clothes I’ve got coming in. Prepare for some good outfit ideas. I’m hoping these will help give you ideas for what to wear for your real life but any and all feedback is welcome. Here’s what I wore the first week of September 2025.
