Yesterday (September 22, 2025) marked the autumn equinox, the official first day of fall. Equal light, equal dark; a natural pause between seasons. It’s one of our favorite moments to take stock: what we’re carrying, what we’re ready to release, and what we want to invite in — on the rack and in our routines.

A Mindful Seasonal Shift

Before you reach for sweaters, try a two-minute ritual:

• Inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 6. Repeat 4 times.
• Ask yourself: What do I want more of this season? What can I set down?
• Choose one small action for the week (a closet edit, a slow morning, a walk with warm coffee).

Journaling prompts:

• What color or texture feels like “home” right now?
• Which habits kept me steady this summer — and which can I retire?
• How do I want to show up in my community as the days get shorter?

The Edit: Fall Vintage Staples (Made to Mix, Layer, Repeat)

Our curation leans ’90s model-off-duty meets Copenhagen cool — structured meets slouch, calm neutrals with a thoughtful pop. Build your season around these pieces:

• Leather Jacket (boxy, waist-length): Throw over tees, slip dresses, or tailored trousers.
• Chunky Knit (cotton/wool/cashmere): Slightly oversized — ribbed or fisherman.
• Trench or Mac Coat: Classic khaki, deep olive, or navy; belt optional for shape.
• Worsted Wool Blazers: (tailored or oversized): Structured shoulders; adds instant to any outfit — jeans, slip dress, layered over sweaters.
• Straight-Leg Denim (’90s rise): Rigid cotton that breaks in with you.
• Wool Trousers (menswear-inspired): Menswear structure, feminine ease.
• Silk Scarf: Neck, hair, or bag — micro print or a jewel-tone solid for that “thoughtful pop.”
• Loafers or Ankle Boots: Timeless shapes that ground the whole look.

Color story: charcoal, espresso, camel, cream — then add one accent color (be playful with the pop).

How to Shop Vintage Mindfully

• Choose fibers that last: wool, cotton, silk, linen, cashmere. They breathe and age beautifully.
• Fit the vibe, not just the size: tailor if needed; a simple hem can turn a good piece into a forever piece.
• Check the bones: seams, lining, hardware. Patina is welcome; broken zippers aren’t.
• Care with intention: brush wool, steam silk, spot-clean denim. You’ll wear things longer — and better.

A 30-Minute Closet Reset

1. Pull 10 pieces you actually wore this past month — note why.
2. Pull 10 you wanted to wear but didn’t — adjust (tailor, clean, restyle).
3. Create 3 go-to outfits on hangers (top + bottom + layer + shoe).
4. Make a tiny wish list of gaps (e.g., “camel trench,” “black leather belt”). Shop with focus.
