Changing seasons is hard
to do. Not only because of odd
weather behavior, but because of current mixed messages from the usual
style monitors. Once again, its time to break out the fur collar, and
hide your white mules. Digging through your closets and deciphering a
new look that is both au courant and still resembles the pre-summer you,
is not fun, especially this fall, when all of the directional signs are
hiding. Covered with ivy and over growth from seasons passed, somebody
needs to call the style gardener fast. Things we know for certain are
that the prevailing vibe is a bit more elegant, with more polish.
Satins, velvet flocking, real shoes with real heels...and if you haven't
already, lose the slouch, and think money when you posture yourself.
Every time there's a directional lull in the style system, that void
filling movement towards all black appears. And here we go again, just
as we managed to move ahead a few paces. Forward thinking color emphasis
is on reds, maroons, browns and deep jewel tones. Anything in brown
suede is extremely happening. Browns also serve as an easy transition
for those that can't readily part with without extensive therapy.
Be brave, wear brown.
