As i'm sure your aware, folk is another key trend this season, as it seems to be every winter. this AMAZE campaign by d&g makes me want to grab a fairisle knit, drink cocoa and rub noses with rudolph (a beautiful but shy german exchange student, i'm hoping he'll take me skiing and make me his frau)
whilst it would be lovely to buy an entire new capsule wardrobe for every seasonal update, its not realistic unless you're Tamara Melon (did you know she gets the full Jimmy Choo collection every spring and fall? LUCKY BETCH!)
the easiest item to make the transition is the jersey maxi. we all seemed to have one this summer (i made the ill-fated decision to buy a pink striped one, swiftly exchanged for black), and as the temperature drops, habit tells us to file it away under 'possible resurgence'. but with catwalk collections imitating 'little house on the prairie' its time to make the staple maxi work harder for another few months.
ONE.
update the long sleeve maxi with a denim waistcoat in a size down from your usual buy to create enough room for this dramatic harness necklace. hair should be unkempt, such as loose braids rough with texture. spritz bumble and bumble surf spray through dirty hair and mess up up with fingers for a relaxed look and attitude. top off with a home knit beanie, or better yet buy one and instead spend your time being fabulous.

TWO
team a chunky printed knit with a short-sleeve maxi, tying a tan leather belt around the cardi to cinch the waist in, knotting the end for an authentic style mark. satchels with simple details look vintage, and gold fastenings add a touch of elegance. finish the look with a berry stained pout, as seen at Proenza Schouler. apply the colour, then press off with a cotton pad to achieve a red wine effect.

THREE
layering is a key element of folk, so add a printed cardi to your vest maxi in a contrasting colour, finishing with a faux fur shearling waistcoat and animal jewellery.
