Although the shorter, chillier, and darker days can be sort of depressing, one of my favorite things about the colder weather is the fashion. The darker, moodier tones are back in style — I’m talking burgundy, teals, deep purples and browns — in apparel and in makeup. We can finally pull back out all the accessories, and have fun with layering and wrapping ourselves.
With the right staples, we don’t even have to put our summer clothing away. We can make fresh new fall looks by layering our favorite lightweight dresses or thin tops over and under these items. In the end, this saves us much more money than having to buy a whole new wardrobe for fall/winter. It’s also a space saver, because we won’t have to find storage space for an entire seasonal wardrobe. Let’s look at a few autumn essentials that we can use to bring some of our warm weather faves along for the ride through winter.
