Autumn transition pieces: white sweater

Transition pieces. They are like best friends and comforts blankets all-in-ones. Reliable wardrobe companions that take you from one season to another in style and comfort.

Take the white cable-knit sweater. It’s not just a classic piece -  this life-saver goes with practically anything. You can wear it with jeans and Converses, then swap the trainers for kitten heels and jeans – for cigarette trousers for a smarter look.

Or wear your softy with a skirt creating at least three different outfits – wave “Good bye” to summer by pairing the sweater with a long silk floaty skirt or palazzo trousers, combine with a pencil skirt and classic pumps for work, leather or full skirt and booties for a coffee date. Once those options are tried and tested, practice the all-white trend that will be one of the hits in Autumn/Winter 2012/13 or cocoon in wide wool trousers, oversized coat and an optional chunky scarf.

Autumn inspirations

Whether it’s the cut, colour, shape or texture, the autumn is about beautiful comforts that feel like a warm hug and make me feel feminine. It’s just a mood board, a bit of fun, a few ideas that help me create a few new looks with clothes I’ve already got, although I’ll need to get a new lipstick and continue my search for that special dress or top in a rich shade of burgundy.
