Time to get cozy

Beige knot hat by RetroReproHandmadeI love the summer as much as anyone else, it’s great to feel the sun on your skin, to drag the summer frocks out of their moth balls, and flaunt a little flesh. But somehow after a whole summer of it (or often for me 3 summers in a row) I am just over it and dying to don the layers.

That first breath of Autumn that is gusting across Brooklyn as we speak hints that it’s time to get rummaging through the woolies and getting cozy.

While summer clothes rely on what’s going on underneath them (not so hidden) for their charms, come autumn the clothes themselves are ready to steal the limelight.

The colder it is the more leeway you have to manipulate how your figure appears to the outside world. Sharp tailoring and luxurious knitwear add structure without requiring perfection.

I’m pretty old school in my autumn taste, classics in natural fibers combined with touches of deliciously bright primaries for warmth. Pictured are some of my favorite pieces on etsy for fall, click on each image to go to the listing.
