An elegant ballerina bun simplifies the season...everything is simple, classic (pearls and gold anyone?), cozy, and warm...who wants fuss anyway?

Less is always more. Mid-weight jackets are still useful, and start going on sale right about now, ankle books are comfortable and more classy than flats, you can never go wrong with replenishing the longsleeve shirt staple, and of course who doesn't love the boot socks for your riding boots?
