Free People October Catalog 2011

Just in time for Fall bundling, we came across Free People's October catalog, filled to the brim with cold weather dressing inspiration. The lookbook features Julia Stegner — check out those perfectly tousled waves and cute braids — wearing the brand's mix of bohemian-cool wares: lace dresses, knit ponchos, sequin pants, cozy cropped sweaters, and also an incredible convertible coat. As usual, Free People shows us some effortless, yet fresh, styling tips. Check out our top three takeaways below, and then click through to see the rest of the catalog.

• Downplay a minidress with dark tights and tough, lace-up booties.
• Wear sequin pants during the day; just make sure to temper the look with casual accompaniments, like a slouched sweater and loafers.
• Experiment with warm, brown hues. We love the idea of putting together a monochromatic outfit with hues of chocolate, burnt sienna, and dark rust.
