A shade of grey
An elegant long coat is an attractive item for fall’s cool days. Unlike in extremely cold weather, this season is a good time to dress in light outer wear. If you are bored with the brownish colours that we usually see in fall, get revitalized with this versatile coat. The fur collar enhances the style. If you wear layers, it’s good to go on winter days as well.

Take a bold choice, such as a pair of snakeskin print boots, and match the with some classic, plain items. These boots from Aldo are a good example and the platforms will give your feet some extra support.

Bright cheeks
Blush is the secret to achieving a lively look. After a long day at work, tiredness may show on your skin. A coral colour blush with some glitter will attract light to your cheeks and make your face brighter. Coral is good for both cool and warm undertones so don’t worry about looking pale. The texture is soft, buildable and pigmented [WHAT DOES BUILDABLE AND PIGMENTED MEAN?].
