Go for a bohemian rhapsody look by taking your vintage corduroy skirt and pairing it with earthy elements. Go for some chunky wood-bottom booties to start, and pair them with a shearling-lined jacket and a wide brimmed hat to really accentuate the rural chic tone. Then, add a thick fisherman sweater for a contrast in textures against the skirt and slick on some wine red lipstick to meet friends at the local speakeasy for a night of drinks and dancing girls behind feather fans. Find a spot where the jazz isn't too loud and sip on your Manhattan as you wish you had one of those diamond headpieces in your own closet. Some day!

Go for a bold, southwestern look by making a chunky pullover sweater your main piece. Pair it with a pleated leather mini for an unexpected, polished look, and keep the tone of the outfit cozy by matching it with thick wool socks and chunky hiker boots. Add in a longer denim jacket as an extra layer to balance out the long proportions of the sweater (and to add a pop of color!), and top off the look with a dark green hat to add in another autumnal hue into the mix. It's the perfect outfit to order way too many tapas dishes in (that'll be noisily passed around the corner table between your group of friends, with laughs and forks clanking), and to sip wine in until the restaurant closes.

Sometimes you need to take a break from work and sneak out for an espresso and ice cream run. Dip out to your nearest Italian restaurant and request a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream with some hot, rich espresso poured on top like chocolate syrup. While doing so, be sure to wear your sweetest peter pan collar dress and fur cape coat- there's just no other way! To play up the girly features in the look, pair the dress with a structured school-girl backpack and a pair of Mary Janes. But to give the look an unexpected twist, opt for thicker Mary Janes with a chunky platform, to give the sweet look some edge. It's subtle, but it changes the whole mood of the outfit.

You've done the wine and candlelight dinner thing. You've done the popcorn and movie thing. You did the first-kiss-with-your-cheeks-prickling on your doorstep thing. Now you're on your fourth date and you're doing the whole talk-for-hours-at-the-cafe-window-seat thing. To make him just a skosh more moon-eyed over you, wear a quirky egg yolk sweater and go quietly-mod with the look by pairing it with a corduroy circle skirt, statement cape coat, and sassy beret. Further accentuate the femininity of the outfit by choosing a sleek and soft-edged backpack in the same color as your corduroy, and then juxtopose that with some statement boots with heavy hardware. Now try to hide that smile that just won't go away in between coffee sips.
