Autumn is here
whether we like it or not
(not)
Some things you expect to bring into early autumn with you
Black linen trousers
Lightweight but warm knitwear
Tops with big sleeves
And some items I’m going to challenge you to wear all year round
White dresses
Flats
Black boots
Yes black boots
You can wear them now
with nude tights and a leather skirt
How amazing would that look
but that might be too much
Don’t make it too heavy
Black tights would definitely make it too heavy right now
Maybe a longer skirt
Still wear the nude tights
but pair with longer skirt and maybe a silk shirt
Early autumn isn’t a time too hide in your winter woollens
It’s time for a little more adventure
Pull out your black boots
and have an adventure
Don’t let yourself hide
We’re so good at hiding
But don’t let yourself do that
Get your boots out
and find something beautiful to wear with them
True style is in the details
Find a chunky cuff
or large silver rings
Choose the items that resonate with you
Style isn’t about putting something on
but rather it’s about revealing something previously hidden
And bold choices give you the courage to reveal that which you might like to keep hidden
Style is courage
Be courageous
