The first real autumn storm of the year has already swept through the streets, the leaves are turning more colorful by the day, and they’re slowly starting to fall. The season is reaching its vibrant peak, and I’m trying to soak up every single moment — whether it’s golden October sunshine or that chilly, rainy weather that makes you crave a cozy day indoors.

Think: good books, delicious pumpkin dishes, and a few creative DIYs to set the mood. And of course, no autumn vibes are complete without the right outfit. That’s why I wanted to go back to my roots and share a classic outfit post with you.

The Timeless Classic: The Trench Coat

A true staple for fall — the trench coat. Personally, I’m obsessed with my rust-colored one. The warm tone fits the golden season so perfectly. I can’t even remember how many years I’ve had it, but one thing’s for sure: every year, I’m genuinely excited to wear it again. It’s one of those pieces that prove investing in quality really pays off.

I paired it with dotted seamed nylons, a chic black dress, an elegant hat, and a classic handbag — and voilà: the perfect autumn look that’s effortlessly sophisticated.
