5 VERSATILE OUTFITS FROM 5 OF AUTUMN’S COOLEST TRENDS

Once the autumn began establishing its power over the weather – our wardrobes are trapped in this unfunny “high-low” temperature rollercoaster – the amount of time spent in front of the closet, trying to pick the right outfit for the day has significantly increased – don’t bother explaining the struggle you went through trying to match your double-breasted wool coat with appropriate separates to those who make jokes about your sense of punctuality; they will never understand why it took you thirty minutes to pick that olive cable knit instead of a black cotton sweat, nor why last week you were on the brink of postponing a meeting because you had misplaced your taupe suede pumps and the grey leather ones you found in their box were not doing your outfit any justice; and the hardest of them all, the one that forces you to call at the office (-My bathroom flooded once again… Yeah, it’s that bloody sink; -no, I didn’t fix it last time…Then was the bathtub) just to steal a few more minutes to try on some outfits suited for the office but also for that party you’re set to attend in the evening (no time to stop by the house and change, I risk of being late…at the party) – as I said before, they’ll never understand; if they had, the bizarre question “Why are you thirty minutes late?” would have never in a zillion years come out of their mouths. Still, these outfit dilemmas you struggle with every day, can’t go on forever if you don’t want to pass as a deluder (there won’t be long before the ones at the office will realize your whole house has gone into repairs at least twenty times in the past three months and your friends will get tired of waiting for you in front of the restaurant for thirty minutes every time you decide to go out). To make sure you’ll never encounter this kind of unpleasant punctuality-related situation ever again (or at least this week), I put together five versatile outfits – for each of the on-duty days and their events – accessorized with some fashion-forward handbags whose chic design is complemented by their eco-friendly fabrics (what can be better than taking care of the environment without sacrificing style) – waiting for you to pick your fave.
