There's something about after Labor Day-that signals back to school AND back to work.
Students may start a calendar year in late August-and employees still toil away -the higher ups vacaying those weeks leading up to September...
But there is a noticeable psychological shift -and a different sartorial approach as to what to wear. No matter how summery hot the weather still is.
Not in the mood to try on or wear a Fall wardrobe is understandable.
…Accessories are the best way to get ready for back to work.
Plenty of people no longer wear or ever even wore watches. Us included- except when we are racing. However the handsome Swiss made Perrelet wrist timepieces might cause a re-think on that-as these showcase watches are marvelous functional statement accessories with details aficionados will give a nod to… a bump up from just telling the time-with decent good-looks-something our smartphone does perfectly well.

We know women who start every major calendar season with a new handbag…it defines all of their wardrobe selections, henceforth.
MCM-a luxury German heritage brand that has captured luxury goods consumers' attention since its re-invigoration years ago- showed Fall 2014 structured offerings that beautifully capture the pared down, aesthetic of carry-alls; less blingy hardware, more uncluttered silhouettes- made of high end materials-in rather fresh interpretations of classic shapes-satchels, totes, clutches and bowler bags -in wonderful displays of the color block trend.
