A Quiet Fall Wardrobe, Inspired by the New York Public Library

I've written about this before in *The Quiet Elegance of Autumn, Worn With Intention*, and the same instinct carries forward. Some colors just stay.

Each item under $100, each one worthy of your wardrobe. *Four Color Stories I'm Wearing Into 2027* explores this same philosophy of personal curation.
