Fall is finally starting to show up here in Austin. Most of us here consider October to still be late summer, and temps really haven’t dropped that much, but early mornings and evenings can be a little crisp.

My solution to the chill in the air is adding a cardigan to my outfits. I admit, I have a slight love affair with cardigans. I have one in just about every color, and my current favorite shape is the boyfriend cardigan. When I find a good one, I’ve been known to buy it in a couple different colors. I’m not greedy, really.

Long, short, buttoned, belted- this is my most versatile piece during the colder months. I love fall and winter just for the variety of wardrobe choices!

This particular oatmeal colored cardigan I bought at Express almost twenty years ago! It’s still in great condition and has a color and shape that go with just about everything.

I also usually change up my makeup a little bit during this season. I love a bold face anyway, but I feel like I can go even darker and more dramatic when I’m wearing sweaters and boots.

How has your autumn been? Nice and cool or still toasty?
