Of course some will already have gone along with this, and have a beautifully arranged closet with new season’s clothes and accessories ready and waiting, but if you’re anything like me and far from ready to look properly at autumn, but loving the newness of what’s just arrived (or some of it, anyway) you’ll be itching to pick up something new and shiny.

Having done several wanders around Macy’s in Dallas last week and been severely tempted I managed to keep my hands off, knowing that I would probably be ‘got’ at some time in the future but hopefully when it would be easier to make a ‘chic but sensible’ decision about what arm candy I should have next season. And please don’t tell me I have enough bags in my cupboard already……no woman ever does, any more than dresses and shoes.




One item in the what to wear and buy now category that is always safe and you can be sure that you’ll want to wear it on into autumn, winter, spring and beyond is jewellery. A new piece of jewellery can be less than bank breaking – although of course you can spend as much as you want – perfect for now to wear with summer dresses or after dark and should work with just about anything as it cools down.
