With a frost starting to chill the air, I realize it’s time to put away the summer dresses and start dressing for the weather. Autumn is a time for layers, leather, suede, leggings, scarves, knits, boots and quilting. It does not, however, mean that colour disappears. I like to keep it neutral with shots of brightness thrown in for good measure. Bold prints such as geometrics, leopard, snakeskin and houndstooth keep things from getting too serious. If anything, you might say that fall’s style is out of this world this year.

Here are some looks that I’ve pulled together with the use of Polyvore:

Autumn Orange 2013

Autumn Pulse 2013

Darkness Falls 2013

Falling for Layers 2013

Falling From the Sky 2013

Now, if only I was so organized when it comes to my wardrobe every day. This is how I aspire to dress when I go out. But, even if I’m half as put together as the styles above, I’m still ahead of the game. If all else fails, keep it effortless with a sweater, leggings, booties, your go-to purse and natural makeup that shows off who you are without going over the top.

What about you? What styles, trends and looks are you hoping to rock this autumn?
