Oh Autumn, how I adore thee... the Fashion (Weeks); the pretty, embellished coats; the steaming, to-go cups of coffee on crisp mornings.
So often, buried deep down somewhere in the merriment and warm layers, one's sense of style lays dormant, snoozing until Spring reawakens it. But don't wait that long! You can look amazing now - even with two sweaters, a coat, and hat + scarf. It is all in the details.
1. Choose textured items - knobby coats, chunky knit sweaters, sequined dresses, or feather-trimmed skirts. This is a tactile season - unlike the warmer months which result in people wearing as little as possible - and you should wear items that invite you to touch.
2. Don't forget your color palette - now is the time to break out the deeper, darker, earthy tones. The golden yellows, dramatic reds, crisp greens... Mix them together if you are feeling creative, or wear single, solid color schemes.
And remember to toss out that old rule about "not wearing white after Labor day". This year, give winter wonderland a run for its money.
3. Have fun with accessories - book clutches, clock purses, loooooong scarves, cute printed gloves, retro sunglasses (to protect from the cold winds, you know). Whatever it is, have fun with it - in fact, now is the best time to bring out all your jewels and accessories, since your gorgeous figure is swathed in layers upon layers.
4. Dressing "warmly" doesn't mean "dowdy" - invest in an amazing accent piece, a really great coat, a fur (faux or no, I don't judge), a long color-block maxi dress that can be worn with a blazer or cropped jacket.
Tell me, what's in your closet these days? Are you dressing up for the season, or just plain dressing for the weather?
