“At rest, however, in the middle of everything is the sun.” – Nicolaus Copernicus
I just love sunny and brisk autumn days. It’s on days like these where you can layer without looking bundled up. For this look, it’s is all about mixing old with new. I rediscovered this jacket recently, as it was hiding in the back of the closest for years. Though I’m pretty sure I bought it back in 2007, I still think it looks good, and that is because of its classic shape. Peacoats are timeless, and best of all, easy to find. I also think it looks especially good when it’s unbottoned with the swing dresses that are becoming very popular this season. When shopping for a swing dress, I recommend that if you’re petite, you look for shapes that are tighter around the bust or are slimmer in general. Swing dresses that have a lot of fabric tend to look sloppy and overwhelming on small frames.
Accessorizing is also fun in the fall, and as I mentioned in a previous post, I love scarves. I bought this one on my recent trip to Italy and have been waiting for the weather to get cooler to wear it. I was also excited to bring these cute boots out again!
