Spice up Your Fall Basics

Fall is great. The sun is shining. October is my favorite month, when these early days of fall make getting dressed so much fun. When you can look forward to jumping out of bed at 7am, that’s the cinch. New energy pumps through your veins. It’s like a rebirth of your soul. There’s the ponchos! The boots! The turtlenecks! The fringe! The suede! The new leather jacket! So. Many. Options. Let’s be honest with one another. how many black sweaters do you have? I can’t even (count mine). There, I proved myself right. that’s right folks. The fashion color wheel has turned and Pantone called it. Although the white and black infallible basics will always be there, adding color and experimenting is a great way to spice up your fall basics.
