“Autumn, the year’s last, loveliest smile…”
This time of year is so bloody romantic. I love it! The cuddling, the colours, the coats, the coquettish boots that give you a little extra wiggle of the hips; it’s just a lovely time, a second spring before the full onslaught of winter.
It’s a time for darker hair, a cool head and a little introspection. If you’ve royally effed things up at this time, you’ve only a couple of months to conjure up solutions before it all goes tits-up and the end of year is upon you!
I absolutely refuse to wear heavy coats in Autumn, opting instead for lighter macs, leather jackets, ponchos, or on superhero days – capes. I will Sherlock Holmes my way down a high-street if the spirit moves me!
My one steadfast rule at this time of year – KIL – Keep It Light. There is so much heaviness to come as the days get ever shorter, so much armour one has to wear, why not enjoy breeziness while you can.
