Autumn Blues.

October

O hushed October morning mild,

Thy leaves have ripened to the fall;

Tomorrow’s wind, if it be wild,

Should waste them all.

The crows above the forest call;

Tomorrow they may form and go.

O hushed October morning mild,

Begin the hours of this day slow.

Make the day seem to us less brief.

Hearts not averse to being beguiled,

Beguile us in the way you know.

Release one leaf at break of day;

At noon release another leaf;

One from our trees, one far away.

Retard the sun with gentle mist;

Enchant the land with amethyst.

Slow, slow!

For the grapes‘ sake, if the were all,

Whose elaves already are burnt with frost,

Whose clustered fruit must else be lost—

For the grapes‘ sake along the all.

– Robert Frost

Autumn is undoubtedly my favourite time of the year as you can start wearing cozy sweaters and enjoy the advantages of layering again. Moreover, I have always had a slight obsession for the atmosphere that is created by the leaves changing colours and turning world’s forests into a picturesque image of nature set on fire. Autumn is a season full of change and preparation for the time of nature’s hibernation and I have found myself opting for outfits in autumn colours a majority of the time during this particular season. Earth tones radiate a high amount of peacefulness and make me personally feel more grounded and settled, which results in me feeling more confident with myself. Those colours are easy to combine as there are loads of shades that not only nature but also fashion provides so it’s basically suitable for every kind of skin tone and hair colour. Especially sweaters in natural colours made of a soft, comfortable fabric like gentle wool or silk, the choice depends on temperature and preference only, are perfect to be combined with more extraordinary patterns to create an individual outfit that makes you stand out.
