Just because you switch your wardrobe from Summer to Fall, doesn’t mean you should edit out anything that isn’t a dark hue. I’ll speak in respect to all dark colors (navy, brown, etc), but I LOVE black - I was in New York long enough to learn that it is the easiest way to pull off chic. It can get boring though - just like wearing the same winter coat every day wears on you - bringing a splash of color into your wardrobe mix will help with that awful feeling of exiting the office after daylight savings kicks in.

JCrew is one of the best resources for a multitude of vibrant hues. I’m not really in the market to buy cashmere, as I’m still charging bottles of wine, but an inexpensive tee under a cardigan (merino, angora), or cotton knit turtleneck with a high waisted pencil skirt comes off just as bright. Keep in mind that not all pigments are pleasing - think jewel tones (fuchsias, emeralds, royals) & Citrus (limes, oranges) - no pastels or muddied tones. An even easier way is to invest in a few vivid scarves to switch up every day - (Chinatown pashmina’s go for a crazy $5). With all of the overcast, snow, and cold temps - somebody has to keep it real and GLOW.
